My early return
Due the the unpredictable weather in Iowa, I was forced to cut my vacation short by 24 hours. I felt like a deserter, driving away from my friend's house on Saturday morning, but the forecast for 6-10 inches of snow to arrive on Saturday night and Sunday, was my motivation. I needed to be home on Monday to take care of business. As it turned out, they got only a dusting and I feel really terrible now!! I do feel good about what we accomplished, she and I have the same "saver" gene, we understand each others dilemma about parting with our stuff!! We made a small dent in the basement, but she will be able to continue now, with just that little help from me. When I arrived home on Saturday afternoon Dwight was actually outside moving some snow and icey piles around the buildings--I guess he was showing off for me because most of the days prior, he was watching TV, reading and napping. He was able to make breakfast for himself in my abscence, but as soon as I returned he relinquished that duty and resumed the reading, napping routine he has developed these past few months. I hope I will be able to return to my friend's house to help her, as the listing gets closer. It was fun just to see her and enjoy her company for a couple days. I have missed her. Until next time, think spring :)

Hello from SW Iowa...I just clicked over from a comment you posted on my daughter's blog a few days ago - Diane of Loess is (No) More. I hope to see more of Iowa when the weather warms up...I love the snow, but never expected 3 months of white ground cover and giant mounds of frozen snow. I moved here in August from Atlanta, and my neighbors tell me they haven't seen a winter this bad. Things are melting, though!
ReplyDeleteI'll check back with you.
