Still winter

I really should call this a critter blog.  This is how she sleeps in my chair....bottom end up!

Of course we are always having pretty sunrises and sunsets, but we had another horrible winter storm yesterday! Most of the highways and byways were closed due to multiple accidents and luckily we did not have anywhere we needed to go. It is 2 degrees as I type this morning. Everything is white and with a late Easter this year, it may very well be Winter still!  On Saturday evening we drove south about 10 miles to a neighboring little berg. There is no post office, no grocery stores, but a couple of bars which both serve food. There is wildlife of course, more than the entire population, so it is fitting that these two joints are named "The Bear Trap", and the "Mangy Moose". We had gone with friends here and I can definitely recommend the Chicken Fried Steak at the Moose.  However really for us girls the real destination was the Red Wagon, which is a consignment shop in an old farm supply building.  It previously was another shop run by a woman named Martha and appropriately called"Aunt Martha's".  Although the Wagon is new and just getting up and running, we frequent it as often as we can.  And by the way it is a few blocks away from the bars, and actually in another town.  Still with no grocery store it does have a post office. ANYWAY, as Ellen would say, my friend spotted a winged-back pink chair and promptly sat in it, declaring it very "comfy".  The problem was the PINK.  She is not fond of pink apparently. After some deliberation and encouragement from me and argument from her mister, she purchased said chair for a nice bargain price.  The problem was that this chair was not petite and we were in a Jeep..4 of us, so the seats could not be down.  After some grumbling and wrangling, I ended up in the middle "kiddie seat", with my head under the top back of the chair as it extended over the top between the head rests.  Can't picture that?  Well our "Marvelous Adventures" are always good for treasured memories and lots of laughs.  And after getting her chair home in her sewing room, she realized that she actually has quite a bit of Pink in her room.
