Got Snow?


Yes, it is Sunday and yes, it is still snowing...what else would you like to know?


Hey, don't complain to loudly it was 35 below zero in Warroad, Minnesota yesterday and folks, that be damn cold. Yes, this is where my son and his family live and when the temps hit numbers like this, we all tend to wonder; "why would anyone chose to live there?" However, in all fairness, Warroad is a nice little town and has great programs for young people and hey, they ain't to shabby with adult programs either.


Our son is doing quite nicely, thanks for asking and for your prayers. He will head to the Mayo Clinic January 28th for tests, scans, etc, and then we expect to hear; "you are in complete remission." He'll also see his heart surgeon and see if he can now lift something over 5 pounds and how much more cardio rehab he is facing. All in all, 2010 is gonna be an awesome year and he's doing great! That's "MY boy."


Oh I gotta share this, just to help you realize you are not the only one to do stupid things. Remember my story about the electric can opener, 11+ years of faithful service and how rudely it stopped working? And how we went and bought another that frustrated the hell out of us and it's going in a yard sale this summer? Plus, the hunt was on for a decent electric can opener? Okay, you're all up to speed.
Now here's the stupidity part...ready? The can opener was fine, it was the damn electrical outlet -- it needed to be reset and once that was done, the can opener worked nicely (ya, we rushed to get it out of the recycle bin, scrubbed it up and plugged it in and well, cry me a river, whirled with new life).

Okay, go ahead and laugh, it is funny but it just shows ya, stupidity can and does happen to anyone, ain't that a hoot?

Keep smiling folks, life is good!! Hey, its football Sunday and I got my crock pot full of chili and I'm set for the day...good times.
