Happy Friday to ALL!
Oh boy, Oh Boy, OH BOY!; are we ever gonna get it!
Weather people here are now saying 8~12 INCHES of new snow by Monday. We might get a few flakes today, and then to start slowly Saturday night, and get completely DUMPED ON on Sunday/Monday... (Or so they say at this point now)!
I have been 'up' since a little after midnight... Punkie has been restless too... But we found a pretty cool website that tells us how many people in the Good Old U.S. of A. that a person shares a name with... Nobody with MY name... How about you?

As you all know, we have had reasonably mild weather for the past few days; and even if it is warmer outside, my furnace still needs to have a refill of heating oil every now and then... (Yesterday was that "every now and then" for my tank). Perhaps planning ahead, calling Alan Olson and then him thinking it best to get the tanker in the yard while it is still accessible. I couldn't have agreed more... (Who knows, with that storm coming when I will have a clean driveway and yard once again)? His dad and mine were really good friends, and so it is good to do business with someone you 'know' and can count on too. When Pa went from coal to oil, of course it was Mr. Olson that filled this tank. They are "good people" in my book... And many times, they have 'carried me' a bit so we could eat, and still be warm in winter! There aren't too many good companies left like that...
Anyway, they came and delivered the oil while I was in the shower... After I had gotten dressed, I needed to take fresh water out to Miss Milly. Walking out to the kennel; Punk, who usually is on my heels, (or otherwise directly underfoot and trying to get entangled in my feet), suddenly disappears on me. I figured she had to go pee~poo and/or doo~doo, or find her throw stick, so I didn't pay her any attention...

After getting the kennel stuff done, I turned around, and saw Punk at the bottom of the hill in the backyard... Just looking, as if saying, "HUH?!?!"...

I did call back to Olsons... hehehe ~My regular delivery man answered, and no, 'himself' had not been here- (He KNOWS where to park, and it's NOT on my lawn)... But he did say they would be here come Springtime to fill, level, and reseed it for me... (He also said the driver had already informed him that I would be calling)! still~hehehe~ing...
Anyway, over the next few days, I will probably be shoveling/plowing more than a few times... (This procrastinator still has not gotten chains for the plow tires)... It's Punk's fault actually. (I'm not sure exactly HOW it might be Punkies fault, but since she lives with me and I cannot possibly blame myself, then it has to be HER fault)! Punkin, after all, also has access to the darned phones too, and never did order those chains for me...
...(S'cuse me, I must go polish my halo for a minute)...
.
.

...Ok, I am back! ... (It's pretty shiny already so it didn't take me too long)!

...Berta stopped out yesterday, and I do believe I almost fell asleep on her... But she did get a new blog posted, so that is a good thing! (She so needs to get a computer as she is quickly becoming addicted to her friends in her own 360 World)! And she is loving every minute on here too!

I took this picture on Wednesday- I happen to like it, as she is looking almost directly into the sun... She says she looks mad, (but since I personally know that this is NOT the same 'face' she has when she is mad, I shall post it anyway)...

I have to go in for some blood tests this morning, so I'd better go get my backside in the shower. Nippy outside too... Dragging my dumpster down the driveway and back again after that truck came was more than a bit chilly. But it is not as windy as yesterday, so it could easily have been much worse.
I hate going to the doctor in the wintertime... (My clothes always weigh so much more... It's depressing for Petes sakes)! ~~~~~
~~~~~
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! I shall be safely ensconced here with Berta and Gabriel tomorrow night and Sunday; (and am thinking probably for a good part of Monday too)! AND, she should be going back to work next week... (I am not too sure where Casey will choose to be "snowed~in", maybe she will be here too)!
Load up your shotguns my friends, just so one of you can take care of THAT LYING GROUNDHOG! (It is way too evident that Old Man Winter isn't done with us yet)! hehehe
Those of you in the Midwest, bundle up, (and bungle up too)!
...And those of you that live away from here, (especially Connie the Braggart), please do not be telling me how nice it is by you... ~~~~OK, "jess keeding" as my Little Miss Valerie would say!!!
Have a good one! (And NOTE please, if you leave RIGHT NOW, you can get here before the snow flies, and just in time to help shovel)!
XOXO
