Indoor day

Today was definitely an inside day. The weather has been quite chilly, so Cobii, Uncle LeRoy, Aunt Kitty Kat and myself stayed inside. Polly pockets was the main objective for the day. Of course, that was Cobii's choice. Aunt Kitty Kat brought Cobii two new dresses, one of which she is wearing in these pictures. Before Cobii's rest time, I read her a bunch of books. That is her favorite thing to do when she is running out of steam.

I have accomplished some housework, laundry, and got some stuff put into the storage area. This evening my bedroom will get some more weeding out done. I got three new pairs of slacks for work, so that means some slacks need to come out of the closet. I have been doing a bunch of spring cleaning in the winter. Then when spring finally gets here, I can work outside.

This will be a short update since that is about all there is to tell. Everything else is just the same old stuff.

Wintery Weather

Time has gotten away from me again, but I am here to catch up. I got a new cook stove, and I really do not like it as much as my old one. The flame does not adjust like I am use to, the top of the stove just has no room for my size cookware, but could not get one that did without spending half a life savings.


Below is the small cooktop!


But I can stack up my dinner! This is the most wonderful steamer pot I have ever used. There was potatoes, carrots, onions, cabbage, broccoli, and corn on the cob all cooked on one burner. It was delicious.

Then Cobii and I had to bake a cake to see how the over worked. Can you guess what her job was? It was to clean the dishes!


As the nation knows, every state in the union except Hawaii had snow! It was very pretty, but nearly gone now. Still have lots of spots on the ground, but trees and overhead lines are clear now. This picture is Craig Road taken from in front of my Mother-in-laws house.
Of course, there had to be a snow ball fight! I wanted to make a snowman, but she did not. Since it was such a wet snow and did not need for Cobii to soak through for the length of time
it would take to make one, we did not. Had lots of fun still.
Must have played a little too hard. This was taken less than 15 minutes from getting back in the house from the wintery white.
Below is my new roof in progress. It looks like it is suspended in the air, but really is not. When the weather is either not raining or snowing, the sides will get closed in and I can have my tarps back.


Cannot see much of the roof, but my front yard looked nice all white. Because of the slant of the roof, it doesn't show much from the front, and is serving its purpose just fine.
Happy Valentines Day to All!

Oliver has moved to the back of my couch since I moved it by the window. A good place to sun himself and "keep watch" over the yard.
Happy Valentines Day to All! Now let me see how dial up will post this! Should be interesting.
