In at least part of the country (unfortunately, MY part of the country), it is another snowy weekend, and The Weather Channel is already sending out horror stories about another major winter storm for the middle of next week.  And even if you’re a sports fan, the...

This post has been delayed for a week by the threat of snow . . . by actual snow . . . by fatigue from blowing snow . . . and by general procrastination.  Read on . . . I have been home from the Grapevine, Texas show for a week – but for a few days while I was...

Zoe has had a huge past couple of days.  It all started on Wednesday when she and I went to the store to pick up some items we needed to fill orders at the mail center.  I wish I had taken pictures, but I was too busy just watching – there were at least 30...

Karen called me Monday afternoon to see if I come up the store to take pictures of the Christmas Coupon Contest entries.  Honestly, with the hectic pace of my weekend, I had forgotten there even was a Christmas Coupon Contest.  But I took care of my...

I came in grumbling a bit this morning – it was pouring snow (again).  I have come to the conclusion that people should be required to pass a Winter Driving Test to be allowed on the roads during bad weather.  I followed two who would have failed all the way...

Cold weather has struck with a vengance here over the past few days – temps dropping each day and off and on snow showers.  For the past three days, I have texted a picture to my parents to show them what they are not missing in warm and sunny Arizona. This was...
