Beverly called last night and we talked for a long time. I had said two or three days ago I'd call her back in an hour or so when she last called because I couldn't talk very long. I'd been meaning to call ever since. Bad Mom! Joslyn called from Nebraska this morning and we both talked to her. They had been having a blizzard for two days with a foot of snow and terrible wind.

Woke up early to about five or six inches of fluffy snow that had fallen in the night. It was beginning to clear up and there was a weak sun pillar and a sun dog rainbow in the east. We did have a sunrise, but it clouded up quickly. Got up, had tea and a sticky bun from the bakery. Watched some of the BYU channel for a while, a lecture and the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. No Church today because it's conference.

I got bundled up and took the dogs for a walk up the street since the wind wasn't blowing. It was cloudy and about 14 degrees. The snow had already settled down som. They ran and ran, especially Raven. Waved at Pat as she drove by going to church? with her little dog in the car. Joe shoveled the front walk and the deck. That new scoop snow shovel he got sure works slick. Looked at backed up email, didn't do much with it yet except get it read.

Bonnie and Craig invited us out to lunch so we got ready and drove out there a little before noon. They have a "new" dog, it was her son's - they live "next door" - but guess it liked being at Bonnie's better so moved in with them. She is a lab and maybe Australian shepherd, still a puppy. She looks a whole lot like Clinker. So we gave the three dogs a little getting acquainted time. Bonnie fixed us a wonderful fried shrimp dinner, with green bean casserole, crescent rolls and fruit salad to die for. We had a nice visit and came on back home - maybe about 3:30. Saw some deer. The snow went off surprisingly quickly and the roads were clear both ways - wet going and dry coming home. Most of the day it never got over 28 degrees, but late afternoon I saw 34. It cleared off and we had blue skies. Hope it stays that way for a while.

Betty called and we talked for about an hour before dinner. Neither of us can believe how the time goes by. Lucky she has free minutes. I read the new emails and downloaded the photos I took today and got them sized for the blog. Sorry if I put too many on, but guess that's what I do.
