Where in the World Isn't Bob Saget?

Not bragging or anything, but ...



No snow up here.

You just poked the bear, Mother Nature.

You just poked the bear, Mother Nature.

Yeah, I know. We’ve got a few flurries possible this week, but no accumulation expected.

I can now technically remove my snow tires, but I’ll wait at least a week or two for sure. It’s not very warm yet, and if it’s not warm, snow is always a possibility.

I decided to rearrange things in the hallway today to make room for a picture that the kids had given us for Christmas. I have a small hutch-type table in there (we used it as a phone stand) with a round carved wooden mirror centered over it. I need to move that table over about 3 or 4 inches, which of course means moving the mirror too. It should have been a pretty easy task except I forgot how heavy that mirror is, hence the need to anchor it into the wall. DH was gone most of the day, so I figured I'd wait to do that til he was here to help me, so I just took it down.
I really love that mirror - the delicate carving and wooden beading on it are so pretty, but what a pain it is to clean! I spent about an hour tonight cleaning all the little nooks and whatnot in it, and wow was it pretty gross in places. I do dust it fairly regularly when we're home, but it's been a while since I really gave it a thorough cleaning. It looks so good now though.
Thus endeth my spring cleaning.

I finished spring cleaning too -- think it was back in 2012.

It's no longer winter @Minnie123 . Time to hate snow like the rest of us.

Wait....but....if she is supposed to hate snow once Winter is over, doesn't that mean we're all supposed to LOVE it until Winter is over? Otherwise it's unbalanced.

 

[Songbird76]

No it isn't the only church in town. There are 5 different churches, all of different denominations. Hubs was pretty pleased with the turn out.

Well, unless people are church surfing, it sure says something about the popularity of his services. Way to go!!!

No, we just pretend to tolerate her foibles during the winter...

 

[Songbird76]

So....how early is too early to start a pre-trip report?

 

[JenniferS]

So....how early is too early to start a pre-trip report?

Everyone is different.

Without actually going back and checking my last two live reports, I think I start a week or so before hand. Again, that’s a live trip report though.

Some people start months and months in advance. There is no wrong answer. Whatever makes you happy.

"Foibles" . . . Well at least that sounds a little better than its synonyms: defects and llmitations.

Yes, we did. We didn't end up getting hardly anything but rain, but the ground is too warm right now for it to cover the roads with ice. I drove slowly, though, in case of black ice.

Tonight we could get 1-3 inches... not sure anymore at this point.

I was trying to be nice...

 

[JenniferS]

I always wanted to live in this house when I was a little girl.



I distinctly remember being able to see it way off in the distance while I lay in my bed at night. Unless I used to have X-ray vision, there is no way that was possible.

 

[JenniferS]

It’s a little “churchy” inside, but as you know, I’m not afraid to paint wood.
