Deer Outside the Windows

Joe's Bedroom

The Comforter Cover I Bought Him

is Too Warm for Sleeping.

First thing this morning Susan at Home Depot called and said they would bring up the new washer on Monday and take the broken one away. And they will also bring the fence parts that were back ordered when Curtis was here working on the fence. We will need the parts when Curtis finishes installing the gates next spring.

Joe went to the ranch to feed the cats. He had a burger for lunch at Boulder. He said there isn't much snow out there yet. Do you suppose we could have stayed there this winter?? I read on pinedaleonline that there was only 6 inches of snow at Big Sandy Openings.

Kay stopped by this afternoon to bring boxes for her artwork which we will pick up for her when we take the Mixed Media show down in Big Piney on Monday. We got to visit for a while. Her brother has been really sick with cancer.

I worked on getting every one's email addresses that I have received into my address book so that's updated now. And paid the bills online that have arrived lately. Yes.... the credit card one is pretty scary.

With the washer exploding and everything else that's been going on I forgot to mention that the car doesn't want to start on the first turn of the key as it always has since I got it. It will run o.k. after I drive it a little bit and then start up again after I've driven it a ways. Joe said it sounded like it needs a tune-up or something and to get an appointment to get it fixed. So I called yesterday and got a time for next Thursday morning - tried to get one sooner but no luck.

James and Kathy sent us some Omaha meat, so I decided we better have some company over to dinner to help us eat some of the meat. There isn't room in the freezer for any more. Maybe will do that tomorrow if people can come then. After tomorrow there is something happening every day and then I get chemo and won't feel like doing it.

This afternoon George, an old friend of Joe's came by to see him. They reminisced for an hour or so. He and Jim had been out snowmaching over in the Wyoming Range. It was nice of him to stop by. He's going back to Laramie tomorrow. I worked on the studio room for several hours again. It's a bigger job than I though to sort it all out.

I checked for that special full moon tonight, but it's too cloudy to see it. I did see it about midnight last night and it was close enough I suppose. Early there was a small rainbow halo around the moon, and later there was a huge ring around the moon. Pretty spectacular. I said "WOW!!" and showed it to the dogs.
