IT IS SOOOOO COLD!!! I'VE DECIDED I LIKE TO LOOK AT SNOW MUCH MORE THAN I LIKE TO WALK IN IT!!!!
I mean it- this is getting so ridiculous!!! all it does is snow, snow, snow. It is a bit much!!
I cannot even walk in it anymore!! At least the driveway gets plowed, plus the sidewalks, but to find a place to pee anymore-well-that is just out of the question. Now days, Carol sweeps her boot over the top layer and flattens it out and says " pee here" and I have no recourse-I just pee!! Same thing with the poop thing, then wham-we are up the stairs and the outing is all over. If I try to walk in the yard-EVERYTHING below my nose gets frozen-real fast!! So I now stay out of the yard. Things are getting pretty boring for me, since I don't read books, surf the Internet (heck, I am privileged to just be able to get some time to do this!!) or cook!! But Carol keeps my blankets all clean and I don't have to take a bath as much while it is so cold-so that is great!!
Since Carol and Barney are a lot taller than I am they get to go out and play in the snow. Just tonight, they walked over to the hotel and had a meal (they brought me a small tid bit and it was sooooo good). I think they are getting the hang of this "retirement" thing, although Carol would like to get out more-"soon" Barney tells her, "just enjoy this quiet time", so she does-today she made bread and a few cinnamon rolls, while Barney stays on the computer.
Well, it is time for still another nap, so I'll pick out a few pictures for you to gaze upon and I will write to you real soon!!!
love ya and Merry Christmas!!
