SNOW

4"-8" of snow is in the forecast. Tami and I took a quick trip to the grocery store for some essentials...

Here we go again

Here we go again! Another snowstorm is in the forecast for the upcoming weekend. Looks like I'll have to shovel for the second time in as many weeks. UGH!

Guilty as charged! Complain I will!

The worm has turned

The worm has turned! I went to get my driver's license renewed yesterday. I confess I was already concerned about the eye test. As it turns out, I passed the eye exam, but not with flying colors. During the renewal process the clerk went over my personal information.

Clerk: Height?
Me: 5'7
Clerk: Weight?
Me: 150 (haha... you didn't think I was going to tell you my real weight, did you?)
Clerk: Eyes brown?
Me: Yes
Clerk: Hair brown?
Me: This is where I hesitated, pointed to my head and asked, "Should I say gray?"
Clerk: (Smiles) It's up to you.
Me: (Sighs in resignation) Put gray :-(

For 35 years my driver's license has shown my hair color as brown. No more! I'm now officially old. I'm gray and balding and I have the driver's license to prove it.

Just a smile

Just a little smile for today :-)

Speakeasy

Our Asher

I'm only posting this photo because it's one of my favorites of Asher. It was taken last summer as everyone was preparing for the wedding. There's so much to love here. The mussed hair, the disheveled shirt and bowtie, the bare feet, the less-than-thrilled look on his face. So stinkin' cute!

Slow!

Well... that's a bit harsh, don't ya think?

Note the two children on the same side of the see-saw.

UGHHHHH!!!!!

I woke up early to find more than 5" of snow had fallen overnight. Thankfully church was cancelled and we didn't have to venture out into the nastiness of the white death. I can't wait to retire so I don't have to deal with this anymore. I am currently talking a breather from shoveling the driveway. It wouldn't hurt my feelings one bit if I never have to shovel another driveway as long as I live! UGH! Winter stinks!

Here's my back deck. it's a far cry from our summer paradise of Lago Vista Resort.

Build the Wall

There is a crisis at our southern border. The Democrats claim it is a manufactured crisis. Illegal aliens are pouring across the border by the thousands. Many of them are violent criminals and gang members. 90% of the heroin in this country comes across the southern border. This is NOT a manufactured crisis. It's real and a wall or some other physical barrier would slow all this down. At this moment we are in the midst of a partial government shutdown. Our President will open the government again as soon as the Democrats will agree to a deal that would fund the wall. At the moment, this impasse shows no signs of getting solved. Five years ago the democrats were in full favor of building the wall. Today they are against it simply because Trump wants it. This is a matter of national security and the democrats are using it as a political ploy. During his campaign Trump promised to build a wall. He is working diligently to keep that promise.

Impending Doom!

Brace for impact! The impending doom of a snowstorm is coming! Be prepared! Stock up on milk, bread and eggs! Awww... who am I kidding? Stock up on snacks, beer, and wine! By tomorrow morning the dreaded stuff starts falling and will continue into Sunday. The first shoveler of the season is upon us.

I LOVE WINTER! (Spoken with extreme sarcasm)
