Sparkle Plenty and The Raven This morning Joe left me sound asleep and went to town to get his blood work done and a haircut. He got a few groceries, some fresh things we were running out of. It was a very cloudy morning and seeing to drive was hard. He has trouble with that, but decided to go on in. I got showered, and about 10 a.m. or so, Judi came over. This is the day we picked for her to come out and give me a foot massage. And actually we gave each other one with the great products she brought along. We had such a nice visit, as we usually do and I appreciated her thoughtfulness in coming out on a less than perfect day. She also brought Joe and I each a dinner from Rendezvous Pointe. They had beef brisket so that's what we'll have tonight. I warmed up Judi and I some leftovers for lunch, it certainly wasn't anything as yummy as I would have liked, but that's what we did. Soon she felt like she should go on home before the weather got too much worse as she was driving her car and had drug bottom in the snow coming down our lane.
Joe got back an hour or so later. He brought me my Christmas gift of a dozen red roses. They are so perfect and gorgeous. I got them into a vase, and then put the groceries away. Gina had gotten Prilosec, which I have to take twice a day, at the Rock Springs Walmart for me at $10 a box less than it costs at Falers. She tracked Joe down and he brought that home to me. Thank you Gina!
Joe said the radio said we were supposed to get 12 to 18 inches of snow. I'm pretty sure that's in the mountains. But it was no time until the snow really started coming down and had near blizzard conditions for several hours. As I'm writing this, the amount that has fallen still isn't a lot and the clouds have lifted just a little bit. Still can only see the base of the hills. The temp is not as cold as it was a week or so ago, though cold if the wind blows. So hugging the wood stove with Raven is a good idea.
If you want to check it out, weather updates are on http://www.pinedaleonline.com/ and keep clicking around the webcams to get on the WYDOT pages where there are good views of the roads. Also there is a good weather report at http://www.wyoming.com/ and go down on the right and click on the city "Pinedale". In there is also a hazardous weather report. Reading that makes you not want to go anywhere right now.
I got the dishes put away and a load of laundry folded. Am still dealing with the upset stomach. Will it be that way from now on I wonder. Other than that, I'm feeling fairly good today.
