Well it was a 8 degrees this morning and that was at 9:00 when I looked outside down here in the bottom. I hate this weather. The sun was so nice but so unfair. It looked beautiful outside but I did not even go out but to church and home and to friends house to get some Christmas stuff took care of and that was it. My sister came down today to take some pictures of the kids on our stair case. By the way notice the brand new railing Jon put up for me. I am so proud of it. We had a great weekend we cleaned house and worked outside all day yesterday. Jon's folks are coming Christmas Eve down here so we are trying to get ready. Which is good it seems like to really get my house clean I have to invite people over. Casey even pledged the base boards in the living room. I am a terrible house cleaner. I never did get to the windows in the spring so I did all the downstairs windows yesterday. Today was nice though I got new curtain rods I had been saving $$$ for these for the last several months. Jon put those up today it was so cold out he worked in the house doing this and that until about 3:30 and started doing chores. He gave Col the day off today and he did all the feeding and checking cows and busting ice by himself. Col helped him all day yesterday hauling wood and unloading and cleaning up outside and stuff. I think he enjoyed it but he just said he had not done nothing when Neil came to visit us tonight and I think he is about to get tired of being inside I know I already have cabin fever and it has been one day stuck in this house. I think we need to put some heaters in out at the barn so we aren't stuck in the house all day.
This is Neil he loves to pick on Bob, Dutches, and Chief. Neil came tonight he brought me back my bowl that I sent some left over chili in about 3-4 weeks ago, and guess what I fixed today. You got it Chili and sent some more home with him in the same bowl he brought back. I did re wash it you know college kids and boys for that matter. I feel sorry for him I tried to get him to stay the night these next couple of nights. Him and another guy live in this old old house no insulation, matter of fact a month ago he had the space heater on in the bathroom and he went to take a shower and there was a snake in the shower he said the bathroom was warm. I hate snakes and mice but this tells you how their house is I won't go over there he comes here. They do have a wood stove but it was 8-9 degrees this morning!!! I can't believe him some times. He did say he was looking for an apartment in Springdale which I hope he will get but I don't see him living in town very long the kid has never lived in town. But I do think it maybe good for him I will miss him though I doubt he stops by as much as he does now even if he does for food it does not matter he is family and Jon and I treat him like our own.
Until next time hope you all stay warm it is times like today I wish we had a heat pump to go along with our wood stove.
