Moose on the way home Tuesday.Zero degrees and foggy this morning, but the sun is shining above - at the moment. We got about 4 inches of new snow in the night, no wind so far to blow it around. The sagebrush is pretty well covered up now. That's how I measure that it's getting deep. Joe went to town again today for his blood test and to go to the funeral. He offered to get the few groceries we need, mostly some fresh vegetables and fruit. Hopefully he can see o.k. in the fog to drive. It's already a lot better than when he left - and soon cleared off. Frosty came in with his plow again this morning. He's taking pretty good care of us. More purging and simplifying ....... Last night I connected to a website - http://www.catalogend.com/ and listed all the catalogs I want to get rid of, actually nearly all of them that we receive. I saw this on a TV talk show. Some school kids started it to save trees, and it grew from there. It did cost $17 and took about an hour (I get so many - can you believe 65? ) and if there were any I missed or new ones show up I can keep listing them for a year. I used to be a big catalog shopping person, since its almost the only way there is to shop here. But all they are is a nuisance now, since shopping online I can buy anything we need. So hopefully the post office ladies won't have to sort them any more, the mail lady won't have to deliver them, we won't have to haul them all in here and then back to recycling. Taking those heavy bags to recycling has gotten to be a big chore. It already feels like a huge relief. If you want to check it out, its fairly easy, there is an alphabetized list, although you do have to do them one at a time. I thought it would be something that would have to be typed in but its not. Cleaned out the file drawer where I kept the current issues too. First thing I did today was try on the new tops that came last night. They are all wonderful and I love them all. One is too small so will have to return it. Promised myself to get rid of an equal number of old things, why is that the hardest part? So far the computer seems to be doing o.k. My goal for today is to do some painting and make a few phone calls which I've been procrastinating.

Good morning! Sounds like a nice day there. Were you able to see the sky this morning to see Venus and Jupiter? It is to be warmer here today. The sun is out but soft and the temperature is 32° so some melting will occur again today.
I'm delighted that your computer seems to be fit as a fiddle. I'm sure you enjoyed the roominess of the desk top model. I love my laptop, but not sure I would want that to be my only computer.
Still working on the illustrations. Hamster and Chinchilla done and now for the rat. Haven't been all that enthusiastic about that one. His name is Reggie. But getting there. I'll have to send you the pics.
Went to the Casinos in Blackhawk last Sunday. Had a ball. Came home with the same money I took to play with. Doubt if I go back any time soon, but was certainly a distraction of a different kind.
The moose picture is neat. Must make all your trips so much better. While I have seen moose in the wild, they are pretty rare to see, and you seem to have all the luck.
I bookmarked your cataloge site. I don't get enough of them to worry about, but I know a friend or two who do.
Have a wonderful day.
Love,
Judy
I think I was right behind you when you took the moose photo. I saw him on my way to town too.
