Well I am still snowed/iced in, but the mailman managed to slide down our road today to bring me my Strawberry Twist and PureCig, along with some Blueberry Pancake!
I am a happy camper even if I can't drive anywhere.
I did get the hound dog out and take him for a walk this afternoon just to break the shut-in feeling! We live in a rural area where they do not scrape the roads so our area roads are still pretty slick - I was praying the whole time that I didn't slip and fall on my behind and get dragged down the road by Sam! LOL That would have been a $10,000 video!
Anyway, I managed to stay on my feet and we both enjoyed our walk! We are just ready for this stuff to melt away now so we can get back to normal.

Me too samsmom! I don't think that our mail is even running. I am in the middle of wooded 15 acres so have not even made it to the road to check my mail. I don't think that our mail is running though. I went out to feed my wild birds today and when I was walking through the snow each time that I lifted my foot a big block of ice went flying through the air. So the snow is frozen over into ice. I am hoping that our temps get to the mid 30s tomorrow. It will be 19 tonight.
The weather forecast says next Monday it will be 71 degrees here in East Texas.
I guess I'll just go out in the front yard on Monday and take off my shirt and boots and run amuck.

And if you take off the boots everyone else will run amuck.
Hey TT....I'd leave that to the cows....
Anyway...it's 23 degrees and snowy here this morning....another 5-7 inches overnight. At least they did a decent job of getting it cleaned up for rush hour this week. Last week on Friday my hour drive took almost 2...ugh.

No snow or ice here, but another front is moving in. Tonight, it's going to be in the 30s.
Terrible news from here in East Texas.
My neighbor down the road, his wife ran off with a tractor salesman.
He got home and found a John Deere letter laying on the kitchen table.

O.K. now that is bad southen humor right there!
Well, I'm not so sure. The last time I saw this man he was kneeling at a grave at the cemetery and seemed to be praying with profound intensity and kept repeating, Why did
you have to die? Why did you have to die?"
I approached him and said, "Sir, I don't wish to interfere with your grief, but this demonstration of pain is more than I've ever seen before. For whom do you mourn so deeply? A child? A parent?"
The poor guy took a moment to collect himself, then said,
"My wife's first husband."
TT thanks for the laugh..Great way to close a work week. Nothing better than a good Laugh.
Thank you, thank you for your nice comments on my corny sense of humor.
And samsmom, I honestly, truly, really wish they sold boots like that. I would have to own a pair. Couldn't you just see me walking in the Coffee Shop in a pair of those! I'd probably be in the weekly newspaper!

Yes, front page and in color!! Do they have color print in your newspaper, TT? I know they have to use mostly pictures...
Funny you mention the color pictures, but honest, they started putting a few of them in the paper about two months ago! Really! Kinda blurry, but they are in color. And it really is a weekly paper!
Three things in East Texas aren't in real big demand. Reading, spelling and teeth. So yeah, they have to use a lot of pictures in the paper.
Ha Ha Ha. You must seem 'hi-falutin' to the people there. You are very literate, and I assume you have most of your teeth;-}
Ha, ha, yeah, people here think I'm a professor, preacher or car thief because I DO speak English, read, have teeth and usually wear shoes. I'm originally from south-west New Mexico, a cultural gold mine compared to East Texas.
The problem in New Mexico was that there weren't many girls and the ones that were there looked like me so I had to come to Texas to find a gal to marry. That's how I ended up here. And now I'm stuck.
But I like my East Texans and their a constant source of amusement and amazement to me. And me to them.
