It’s snowing!
Last night we went to T-man’s track meet. It was freezing cold and snowing. Brrrrr. I stayed in the car. I basically went along for the ride, but we managed to park where I could see him throw from the car. By the time he was throwing the sun was shining. He was really happy to see us there… and it wasn’t because we were there for support. He was happy to climb into a warm car with a cup of hot chocolate for the long ride back home.
Well, I secretly hope we get a lot of snow today, but I doubt that is going to happen. It’s definately time for a cozy fire and hot chocolate.

My cousin’s adorable little dog, Webster, died this past week. Webster was such a cute little thing. I don’t know what breed he was, but he was just a cute tiny little thing. In his life he’s faced a challenge or two.
A few years ago, little Webster was out in his back yard, minding his own business. Along comes a coyote, nabs Webster by the nap of his neck and the race was on. My cousin, Kevin, was running and screaming and the coyote was running and shaking Webster as hard as he could. The coyote gave up and let Webster go. Poor little dog was scared half to death, but he was okay.
So a short time later Kevin had the little guy out in the back yard again, but this time he was on a leash. It’s a good thing he was on a leash because down swooped an Eagle…. grabbed Webster in his claws and tried to fly off with the little dog. Kevin was hanging on for all he was worth. You can imagine there was some screaming and major commotion during the whole incident.
I remember the next few times I saw Webster, he was sitting on Kevin’s lap, trembling from head to toe the entire time.
Shortly after I took these photos of Kevin (my cousin - not my hubby) at work, he was in a serious accident. That machine slid down a hill with him inside. He was hurt pretty bad and was bedfast for awhile. Webster was his constant companion… always at his side. That little dog will be missed.

We’ve been having issues with a fruit fly. As you know, there is never just one fruit fly. I’ve cleaned and cleaned and yet, there they are. Buzzing around the kitchen. Dead on the counter around the sink. YUK.
It’s a constant battle of spraying the fruit flies and wiping up every few minutes.
We took the bananas out of the house. The fruit is all in the fridge. Where could they be breeding?
So yesterday, I was sorting some of my FIL’s stuff. I took down some of the empty apple boxes we have stacked in the dining room. As I was taking out the packing, there it was… a dead apple. Home to the fruit flies.

Well, the day before Brandon left, we brought all the stuff home from storage. Apparently it was a bigger storage unit than I thought it was. I had sorted and got rid of much of this stuff the first few days. Then I got sick and we moved mom in, because she’s sick. Now that I’m feeling a bit better, I have this huge task in front of me. Sorting through my FIL’s stuff.
Now I’m thinking, just toss it. I’d love it if someone else would step up to the plate and do it. That didn’t happen when I was too sick to get out of bed. I don’t see it happening now. I’m thinking outloud here… why is this my duty to do this sorting of my FILs stuff? Why do I have to be the one to figure out what to do with all of his things?
We got rid of so much during the initial sort. Where did this stuff all fit into his little apartment? Oh my… One huge task is to be followed by an even bigger task… I’m just trying to get myself mentally prepped for this.
