Long Days

I have been spending all of my time at the hospital or the re-hab center. Very tiring. As soon as things improve enough that I can be home for an extended time, that is , anytime longer than three or four hours, I have already composed a few blog entries in my head and I will print them.

Doc is doing well. Today he walked without his walker and walked better than I've seen him walk in a year or so. He had to be talked into walking with a rolling walker and I think he may stick to that. He has all kinds of therapy and the one's I've sat in on are very good. I particularly enjoyed the speech therapist. I guess he still has a lot more that they want to teach him so he will probably be there for another week or so. As long as it is doing him some good I am all for it.

MOre in a few weeks. I'm pleased that Carrie joined the bloggies, I really like reading Pat's (better known as Dolberry) and the Sparky etc. Sometime I should identify who the Owl'sPineTree is. I never have time. Ciao

Same theme

Guess what? We are going to have snow tomorrow! Could this be the real thing this time? Predictions call for 1 to 2 inches on the grass!! Double Wow! We shall see.
I'm on my winter break and it would be so lovely to have snow on Saturday and maybe it would linger into Sunday and then warm up to 60. Ohio has had so many snow days that they have used up all of the days allotted to them by the state. So any that come from now till May have to be made up in June. Bummer.

More Snow Reports

Every day since my last blog the tireless meteorologists have continued to talk snow. They have crawlers across the bottom of the screen saying "snow watch' they show pictures of the area map with white patches, green patches and blue patches and inform us of which patches represent 1 inch, 2inches, etc. and warn us repeatedly that we must be very cautious when driving, walking , sleeping and any other activity that one might engage in in the course of a day. "It will start to snow Mon on into Tues. and then maybe a light dusting on Wed. Guess what! Nada, nothing, just a few flakes. Maybe a light dusting but only those of us that get up at 6 AM get to see it, and it is just on the grass. Two feet of snow to the north of us 6 feet to the far west of us, So new forecasts come out. There will really be snow on Thurs. Friday and on into the week-end. UH, No snow. They are so persistant, they come on again when those days have gone by and still no measureable snow and start predicting again! They never giveup. Here we are at Friday of this week and despite all the predictions, we still have not had snow but we did get to see the pictures of Owesda, N.Y. shoveling out from under 88 inches of Lake Effect snow. I must admit, I don't want 88 inches or maybe not even a foot but I would like to make some snow Ice Cream and would like to look out the window at the snow piling up and put a pot of white chili on to bubble and boil, and huddle up with my book and read! I haven't given up yet. Tonight John Belski said we may have snow next Wed. on into Thurs.!!Ya' think?
