TALK ABOUT HISTORY!
This is a photo Betty had of my high school
girlfriend's wedding. Me on left. then Doreen and

About 1958

Guess too much hasn't been accomplished (by me) today. Scott came to plow out our garage door this morning about 10:30 this morning. He did a nice job. And said he would come back again every time it snowed about 6" and/or blew. He also shoveled off the steps by the driveway. So we're set for a while I suppose. I will gradually get the snow off the deck, at least so the dogs have an area to sit out there, but not until the wind quits! It was supposed to have been about 20 below last night. It didn't feel too bad when I opened the door in the wee hours to let the dogs out. And wow! I was looking back in the innards of pinedaleonline and see that there have been at least six earthquakes near West Yellowstone today, from 2.5 to 3.5. I didn't feel anything. It probably happens more than we hear about.

So..... I only barely got the car out in time to get down to the clinic and get my picc line flushed before they closed - they are only there until noon on Saturday. I'll do it myself again tomorrow. Joe asked if I wanted to go to lunch, which meant he would like to. So afterwards we went to the brewery, renamed Wind River something, and I had soup and salad and he had a BLT with salad. I brought most of the salad home, it was so huge. Perhaps lunch tomorrow.

I've been shopping on line for an economical tall pull on pair of winter boots. It sure does take a lot of time to do that browsing. I wish it were easier to compare, but I've just been making notes of styles and stores. Makes me think I'll make do with the waterproof warm "boot/shoes" that I have. Shoes and socks are getting real hard to get on anymore, as well as coats and pullover things. I also checked out the http://www.drycorp.com/ waterproof cover for the picc line Bonnie found, and asked Barb at the clinic how it sounded to her. She thought I should try it, so I'm going to order that. It's supposed to keep the site dry in showers and such.

Charm reminded me -there will be a "planned" power outage throughout the area tomorrow (Sunday) from 2:00 until about 4:00 P. M. I guess the power company is replacing some major equipment. I hope it doesn't last longer than that. Wonder why they don't plan those things in the summer?

I finally got the carbon monoxide monitors out of the boxes and batteries in them. They have major instructions to read - I'm about half through that. So far they aren't going off - so I guess we're safe from CO now.

Betty called for our weekly visit. She sent me the photo above - she and her Aunt Ann are looking through her old photos. And she inspired me to do the photo essay below because she wanted to see the plows and plowing etc. - so scroll on down for some new pictures.

I sure was surprised to the wedding picture from Doreen's wedding. It was the summer of 1957. Children, we were
