My BILLS lost their game. They are out and the Broncos are in to play once again for the championship this coming Sunday. I felt bad for Quarterback Josh Allen as he broke down while talking on the news after the game. He said he let his team down. Josh certainly has nothing to feel bad about. We all know that someone wins and someone loses. Now because the BILLS lost, they fired the coach. Big mistake. I for one, will certainly not give up on my BILLS.
Snow fell on Flat Creek Saturday morning. With about 4” I got out and shoveled the sidewalk then began snow blowing the driveway. No sooner did I get back into the house when my neighbor Pat pulled up with his plow turned around and headed back to his home. Sunday unexpectedly we got snow again. Worship service was cancelled. It was just too nasty and cold to head out anyplace. This time I only shoveled the sidewalk. Around 11:00am my neighbor Pat came on his four-wheeler with his dog and best pal Friday sitting beside him. It did not take very long to plow me out. I was ever so thankful. Even though it was bitter cold we got to visit for a few minutes. Now the wind is starting to blow the snow all over. Here it is Tuesday and biller cold out with the wind blowing a gale once more. I guess it is a good time to just relax and work on a puzzle this afternoon.
Sincere congratulations and welcome to Bridget and Ray here in Flat Creek, Gilboa. They moved into their newly built home a couple of weeks ago. Neighbors and friends wish them the very best for many years to come.
My friends Lou and Rosemary DiRubba in Weeki Wachee, Florida tell me that it is chilly there like it is in upstate New York. Their temperature at night drops to 32 degrees. The next day in the 50’s with sunshine. Rosemary let me know that the Manatees have moved into the river nearby to keep warm. When the river temperature rises to 69 degrees the Manatees pack right in. They were both planning on driving to the river to spot them. Rosemary asked about the Parrot House. They were very excited to learn that it had re-opened. If both their names sound familiar to you then, you might remember when they too ran Parrot House many years ago.
