My weekend

On Friday evening My Shug and I, along with Vickie and Robert, Mom and Dad, and Ashley and Eric went to Logansport, IN to the State Theatre to see Heywood Banks.

Heywood is a comedienne who makes up songs about the silliest things such as "toast", or "wheels on a big rig", and a bunch of other nonsense songs. I don't know how he thinks of this stuff.

And Logansport has an old theater, State Theatre Live, that they have re-opened and now have live performances. I love that they have kept the integrity of the old theatre. All they need is an old car from the 1950's parked out front!

It was a fun evening, and after the week I had, I was ready for fun!

And I'm so glad we went Friday, because on Saturday we had a snow storm!!!! The nerve....of Mother Nature. What in thee hell is she thinking?

It was crazy I tell ya. My parents were without power for several hours and were on their way over to our house, because their house was getting cold, when they turned around and went back home. They couldn't see in front of them because of the white-out road conditions. I never left the house on Saturday.

Just the week before we had perfectly great weather. It is Spring in Indiana after all. On Sunday my Shug and I cooked a meal together. I made green bean casserole (for him), salad (for me) sweet potatoes in the oven, and he pan fried some steak. Twas a yummy dinner.

I took Dixie out to get his pup-cup. Ok I might have had a latte'.

And I stitched a little bit on my granny stripe blanket.

I also helped lay a wood floor

and painted trim. It was a busy weekend, but not stressful. I'm seeing the light at the end of the tunnel on this house.

How was your weekend?

My week in review

OK, I did say that I was going to do everything I can to enjoy my fourth favorite season. I'm trying. So the other day, I donned my scarf, and hat(s), and coat, and gloves, and boots and went for a walk.

I prefer flip-flops!

It was 1 degree later in the day. It came up from -1

That would be -17.2222222 Celsius (for you Celsius peeps!)

First I walked down by our flowing well. It is in the process of making an ice sculpture!

Then I decided to see how Coral Belle was fairing this winter on her new homestead.

It was too tempting...I had to go inside.

Besides my hands were freezing. Notice I put my hat on my coat, over my other hat. Peeps, it was coooooold dammittohell!

Inside looking out.

Then I got a bright idea to walk through the woods...but after walking a few feet, thought better of it. The reason is this....there are deer in our woods. I didn't want to disturb them. They are all snuggled in and cozy and if they see me they'd take off running. So I took a picture of this HUGE tree in our woods and headed back to the house. (notice the big branch growing out of the side of it, on the ground)

Walking back I decided to stop by some evergreens and snap a few pics.

We dug this wagon wheel rim up this past summer, when we had some dead trees removed from the land. This was under one of them. The gate came from a funeral owners house years ago, by way of my cousin, Gloria.
