Whew

It is SO cold.    Got all the way up to +6 actually.   It was -5 when I left the house this morning. 

This is SO hard on Nicky.   The pads of his little feet get cold and he can't stay out long.    He finally peed this afternoon.   I was afraid that he might burst.

There were only three of us there today.   Some gone, some avoiding the cold.  We always go ahead anyway as long as there are two or more.

Then I went to see Mom, via PetSmart.   I bought a training pad thing to put in the garage.   If this cold lasts too long, I am hoping that I can get the mutt to pee in that.  I have it in the garage at the foot of the ramp.  I don't think it will work actually.   And he eventually HAS to go.  He is the master of holding it.    I am sure we will get used to each other and have a schedule eventually.    He is the sweetest little thing and very affectionate.

Mom and I had a nice visit.   She says she is weak and is, but her spirit is not weak and she is still full of curiosity and the desire to remember and visit.   

On the way home I stopped at SVA (Sheboygan Visual Artists) to pick up the two items that I won in the silent auction.   I have two original framed paintings.   I can't describe them because at least one of them will be a gift.   I already know to whom.

I got home and took a nap.   Then I caught up on mail and bills before it was time to join my neighbors, Roger and Pat Cook to a preview of John Mc Givern's Around the Town that is about Plymouth.   It will be shown the first time on Thursday.   The preview was super fun and they said the biggest they had ever had.   It was in the High School auditorium.   The students provided food.   Road America provided cupcakes.   There were other vendors.   The preshow was the Plymouth High School German Band.  Then we got to see the show and after the preview heard from John and other members of the crew with a time to ask questions too.   So great.   I am so glad that Pat asked me if I wanted to go.   I bought a DVD of the show too.

So it is bed time for this lady.  I am tired and HAVE to get up tomorrow because I have to be up and out before 8AM tomorrow.   Hair cut day and I am joining my hairdresser, Terri for coffee at the Exchange Bank before the cut.

Good night and God Bless   _Red Skelton
