I have learned this year to make a winter list of things I realy don't want to run out of if a storm hits. I will tape it to my pantry door. Not being able to get out and get things we need can pose an interesting delema. We survived this winter fury. Making it easier for the next one is a must do.I am so glad that the snow and ice have been washed away. Never thought that I would be so glad to see the rain.We can now get down our ramp. Thank - goodness. I had to get Gary to his pre - op appointment yesterday. It went well but we did get exhausted. Next thursday I have both Gary and Mom in the hospital. Both in different hospitals at about the same time. My wonderful brother is taking time off from work to be with Mom. My granddaughter is comming and spending the night to help me get Gary in his wheel chair. So I think that I have everything coverd. I hope that I haven't missed anything. It will be a long week with both of them home and recovering. How is everybody doing? God Bless and have a great day.
