KYLE'S 1ST CHRISTMAS

This is my little grandson, Kyle, looking very dapper in his Santa hat on Christmas Day, 2013.

TWAS A NIGHT AFTER CHRISTMAS . . .

'Twas a night after Christmas and all through the house
Not a creature was sleeping especially the mouse.

It all started off with a Skype with Miss Cora
She kept the old folks laughing - 'twas not a bore(uh)

And high on his perch Grimley watched for the mouse
who had free run in that bedazzled house.

As we all settled in to watch Downton Abby's brightest
We had to agree that this night was the delight(est)!!

SNOW ADVENTURE 2015

The weather app said it would snow in Show Low from Wednesday night till Thursday at noon. I stayed up to welcome in the New Year and finally went to bed at 2am.

I awoke to a lovely blanket of snow. And it continued to snow until Saturday morning!! My water pipes were frozen Wednesday morning so I had to ration drinking water to be able to keep the toilet flushed.

It was a fun adventure in spite of a little inconvenience and I can't wait for it to snow again!!

OPERATION: RESCUE NANA

I was stranded after a big storm dumped a foot of snow on my little trailer in Show Low. On the fourth day, Greg, Garrett, Amy and the kids drove up to give me a hand. I love the white stuff but not the frozen water pipes!

BE PREPARED!!

My weather app said it would snow Wednesday-Thursday with the sun coming out at noon. Plenty of time get snow photos, the roads to clear, and to be back home Friday afternoon.

The water pipes froze Tuesday night. I started using bottled water to "flush" the toilet.

Almost out of water Friday morning. Melted a bowl of snow - yield 1/4 cup. Still snowing.

Need to buy jugs of water and snow shovel. Dug out with a plastic cutting board. Backed out, made it to the corner (30 feet) and then saw this hill. Umm. NO WAY!! Turned around and went back. But I did find two more bottles of water in the car!!

Now that's being prepared!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015!!

Snow was forecast for Wednesday, Dec 31st and Thursday, Jan 1st so I drove to ShowLow on Tuesday. I couldn't sleep Tuesday night as I kept peeking out the window for signs of flurries. Sure enough, late New Years Eve, it began to snow!! HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015!!
