Well, started snowing here about an hour ago. Still coming down heavy and from the radar map I looked at, it seems it will be about another hour to an hour and a half of snowfall. But I doubt we will get more than 2, maybe 3, inches of white. It does make for a pretty sight right now.

Our neighbor came over, she was visiting another neighbor as she does every morning for tea and gossip (come on, we know whenever two women get together, they love to gossip) and when she opened the door to leave, she told Mary that the snow is coming down earlier than they thought. She just stopped by to make sure I had the shovel ready. And of course, our dog Coco went out and headed straight for her door. So Katherine went back taking Coco with her and wife went over after a minute or two. Coco must visit Katherine every morning or else she whines. Katherine gives her plenty of treats, but that does not stop Coco from coming back and wanting more treats from me. Going to be taking her out after I finish posting.

My life has a superb cast,
but I can’t figure out the plot.

Ever get the feeling that now our president is not speaking spontaneously? That he now uses a scripted message and reads from a teleprompter? Noticed this and wonder how many of you noticed it also? His speech in Elkhart Indiana, was really typical, when he would look to the left to speak, and then to the right, and then back again, over and over and over, reading from the teleprompters at each side, out of view of the cameras. If you concentrated on the people behind him, every time he looked to the left, so did they. When he switched to the right, they did as well. It looked like a tennis match, and they were reading his speech right along with his delivery.

While he may appear to be prepared and forceful, he is not doing anything a smart ”fifth grader” couldn’t do, and not the person we voted for. This is not the time for that kind of approach. In light of our current crisis, if he is truly to be our domestic leader and the Commander in Chief of our Military, our Country needs, nay demands, frank, unscripted answers.

And yes, the above is my opinion. I just think he is not giving us his views or his ideas, but the views and ideas of those who write his speeches.

Support bacteria — they’re the only culture some people have.

Our three grandchildren who live with their dad in Des Moines are due in this afternoon, along with their mother. Hope the snow does not impede our daughter picking up the three and their mother (other daughter). Will be nice to have them here for the weekend. Probably have the girls and other daughter spend the night with us and the boys will have their night out tomorrow night (ritual for them, so they can watch movies and channels on tv that are inapropriate for them to watch any other time, this according to our autistic grandson, who is a hoot to watch). And of course, to drink as much pepsi and mountain dew as they can handle.

Hint for everyone: Between now and May, when the USPS raises the cost of first class postage from 42 cents to 44 cents, go to your post office and stock up on Freedom Stamps. These stamps cost you at current postage but will suffice for any postage increase in the future. Myself, I plan to get enough of these stamps to last 4 to 6 months. Yes, they are self stick. Just a way to save a few pennies each time you mail out a letter, card or bill. Or just shake up all your family and friends and mail out your Christmas cards early!
