I was all smiles this morning when I got on the computer to see that it was only -7 out.... but of course with this comes the white stuff... thought I would go down and take some pictures of it only be told by the camera that I couldn't because the battery was low...
When I bought this new camera I made sure I had a second battery so that this wouldn't happen... but duh me didn't recharge the other one so now I have battery and no photos for any one to see... will have to get back to it later in the morning.... maybe by then I will have some of Carl working (sure, right) really hard out in the snow getting the yard cleaned up since we do have to go to his parents today to have dinner...
The weekend was filled with cold weather and very little going on.... even the puppies didn't want to go outside for any length of time... it was a perfect time to just let them out without their ropes... a sure thing that Miss Maggie wouldn't be taking off into the woods for a run... she had a hard time to get 5 feet from the door before she did her thing...
So the weekend was filled with movies....Appaloosa... which was an ok movie for a western... but it was too long... well I thought it was any way.... Without a Paddle was almost like the first one that was out but watchable... Ghost Town though I thought was not going to be something I was going to watch turned out to be the best of the three of them... we still have Pineapple Express but just by reading about the movie it is one that Carl will be watching alone...of course with all these movies I did do some knitting... I am trying my hand on a zig zag scarf again... the first one had a few extra zags in it... I was not reading the pattern right I guess... I started on mitts last week and got the first pair done knowing that they would fit Craig's youngest but when the second pair came out fitting me... instead of Kiera I tore it apart and started making another scarf... what can I say I am taking the easier road ....I am actually looking for a pattern for no keel socks... that would be so much easier to do... I was never one to get the keel right.... would be a change from scarves since I have 10 of them on the table...
Saturday was out picking up supplies for meat sauce to make a lasagna...which I am planning on making today for dinner at Carl's parents.... glad I went out then because today would be a bust for picking anything up with the snow falling like it is...
Well I can finally say what is going on here today... well actually it is all over now since I am only get back to my blog this evening.... On Thursday night we got call from Dan who is Susan's husband... and Susan if anyone doesn't know is Carl's sister... ok the family tree thing is done... oh way... Dan is Danny Kenny our cousin who is married to Carl's sister... ohhh had to add that... any way Dan called asked us to get Susan over to Opa and Oma's place tonight since it was her birthday and then Carl go up to the airport because he was coming in for it...
Well we decided that Susan deserved a lot more then just a cake so we made lasagna for dinner... the only thing was we had to put dinner off until 5:30 - 6 so Dan can be there as well... well that was easy to do in a way ... we lied well kind of... we said that Carl had a doctor's appointment at 4:30 this afternoon so dinner would not be the normal time ... 4:30 - 5:00....so 6 comes around no Carl no Dan... 6:30 comes around and still no Carl and Dan... there have been calls in between this... trying to figure out what other lie I can say to keep this now hungry people at bay... there is two more people ahead of him at 6:15 and at 6:45 there was still no one coming in...
The Birthday Girl...I normally don't go out for a smoke when I am there because I get dumped on but I had to have some excuse to get out of the house... so by the time I walked over to the store to get a lighter... I called Carl for the last time to hear that he is on the way... thinking that Dan was actually with him... but when he came in NO DAN... the flight was in but he had to get his luggage .... he finally got in at 7 pm... and boy was Susan surprised.... and I can't believe I didn't blow this one out of the water because I was about to say okay this is what is going on.... I hate secrets because I am terrible when it is this kind of secret.... Any way Susan if you are reading this... Happy Birthday again... I hope you had a wonderful day....
Dan walking in the door you think Susan was happy to see him...Now I am going to relax have a good one all.... Joanne..................
