Cold critters

Though these were taken January 8th, everything is facing cold temps again.  It is 13ºF as I type this and part of the time the wind is just whistling.  I was up at 4:00ish this morn and it was howling then.  The snow we got has been blown and drifted till it is impossible to tell how much we actually got.  Bubby was just dying to be let out this morn....he was not out 5 minutes till he was demanding to be let in again.  And he came flying in....none of that sauntering in so slowly that he does a lot of times.

The toot is still here....our plans are to meet today.  I guess we will wait till up in the day a bit to see.  With the warm temps of the past two days our roads had melted, but were still wet so they will probably be a sheet of ice here in town.

It is sure going to be quiet when she leaves...she has giggled and giggled.  When there is nothing to laugh about, she makes up something.  And has such a deep belly laugh.  One night she discovered how it sounds different in the bathroom if you yell in there, so was in there yelling first Papaw and then Mamaw, and after each yell, she would just scream with laughter.  Roger was outside and said it sounded like we were torturing a child inside.  

Then we have a couple mystery games on our computers....the kind where you are to hunt for objects.  Wow, does she ever love them.  And some of them you have to figure out how things work and she is doing that.  Just growing so much.

Lorelei is here

The trip to meet Jeremy and pick up Lorelei was uneventful...we did stick to the main roads, but soon as we got out of our little town, the roads were clear.  Not a problem anywhere at all.  Roads were clear in Terre Haute.  I don't think other places got as much as we did of that snow.  But I think most other places got more than we did in what we got yesterday and last night.  We might have gotten another inch but that was it.

I have to tell this while it is fresh on my mind....

Last night Papaw was pretending with Lorelei while playing with one of her little houses she has here.  I did not catch the beginning of the conversation but heard Papaw say that maybe Cinderella went hunting.

Lorelei says, "No, she didn't!"

Papaw says, "Girls can hunt..."

Lorelei says, "No, Cinderella doesn't hunt.  I watched a movie about her and she didn't hunt!"

And all the time she is telling him this, she is wagging her finger back and fourth in a negative fashion.  I about cracked up.  Papaw just doesn't watch the right movies, I guess.

Just a little post

We will be passing by this barn after while...on our way to meet Sarah and Lorelei. I took this the last time we went that way.  It is not as close to the road as it appears to be in the photo.  We are going to wait a little bit and let the sun be out a while before heading that way.  But not waiting too late because we are supposed to get 2-3 inches of snow this evening.

Not sure how much time I will have on here...I am sure I will be coloring and who knows what else.  I am sure Lorelei will come with plans of her own.  Right now going outside will not be one of them, though it is supposed to warm up.  As I type this the weather place I go to says it is 12ºF right now.

I need to finish getting dressed and throw some clothes in the dryer....so best be getting off here and getting busy.
