This is really right on the mark!!

WHO IS YOUR ROLE MODEL?



1) Pick your favorite number between 1-9

2) Multiply by 3 then

3) Add 3, then again Multiply by 3 (I'll wait while you get the calculator....)

4) You'll get a 2 or 3 digit number....

5) Add the digits together

Now Scroll down ..............

























Now with that number see who your ROLE MODEL
is from the list below :



1. Hillary Clinton



2. Nelson Mandela



3. James Brown



4. Audrey Hepburn



5. Bill Gates



6. Gandhi



7. Brad Pitt



8. Hitler



9. Anna~Anna (That's me, Anne)!!!



10. Barack Obama




I know...
I just have that effect on people....one day maybe you can be just like me!


PS:
Stop picking different numbers. I AM YOUR ROLE MODEL!

Good Morning Everyone;
If you have read the comment I left for you in my prior blog, (or Casey's newest blog), you know that we arrived safe and sound with Jesus at the wheel.
It was that crappy, those last 90 miles.  Temps went from 44 to 16 in a matter of minutes; and when the front came through, wouldn't you know we were on this big bridge- and what wind!

But we are here. Thanking God that (even though I whined about it), my car was all fixed prior to leaving.  I started it last night; letting it run for about 20 minutes before taking it twice around the block. But it started, and that is all that matters.

It is currently 9 degrees BELOW ZERO. (Suffice to say I don't like it).
The windchill factor is is the minus 30's.

And no, we are not responsible for bringing it with us.  I firmly believe Canada hates me.

Having brought Punk out earlier, she poo'ed and pee'd just great- We weren't outside but two minutes and she shook her paws when we got back inside. Too cold for man or beast.

As most of you know by now, I am Native. 
Knowing this, and knowing how so many lived (and died), 'way back when, it amazes me that anyone survived; pelts or not. A much deeper respect goes through me as I dress ever so warmly for a minute or two outside in this dangerous weather.

We are not alone- Many of you will be living through ice storms today. May God keep you all warm and safe.

I can't believe how far south that freezing rain might go...

Casey's pre~surgical appointment is rescheduled for tomorrow. And of course her surgery is on Thursday.

When we got to the hotel late on Sunday evening, we were met by a man whose own TP/AIT Transplant surgery was yesterday. He came to our room to visit for a while (I promptly fell asleep on him). But Casey and he had much to talk about and to share.
His surgery was quite successful, his brother calling Casey yesterday to update her- AND he wasn't even sent to ICU afterward. (I am thinking this is because everything went so very well)!

Kelli has just called- It is 5 below at home, (this because maybe Canada isn't sure where I am exactly)?
Miss Milly is warm and 'wunnaful'. And Mr Miller is sad because he can't play at my house. Kelli is at work safe and sound too.
I'm just happy that all is secure.

Michelle wrote to say hello this morning too- Her own horses probably freezing their manes off. Kelli had told me that Breeze's eyelashes were full of ice! (Bad enough when mascara clumps, I can only imagine what ice does).

As for me, my joints are aching from the cold. Yes, we do have the heat on in the room- Just that once I am cold, I am very cold throughout, and it takes a while to warm up.

I'd better close for now- have a load of laundry to do. The laundry is on the 6th floor. and a nice warm room!  Looking forward to that!

Love to all.

XOXO
Anne
