PRISMS AND POLKA DOTS

This morning we sit back and relive yesterday.  Our dear friends from way way back brought two pizzas, and the four of us sat around our table and talked about the fun times we've shared over the years.  There's really nothing more special than the friends who've walked through life with us.  They were kind and left pizza that we later shared with Cuddy's daddy.  Yup, our little fuzz bucket went home last evening,  and there's a crater in our home since he left.  But, the good news is he's returning on Christmas Day and staying with us until April.  Like I told his daddy, we make sure Cuddy is safe, warm and loved.  Who among us can ask for anything more.

The wind's blowing, the tree branches are wiggling like we used to do when we danced the twist.  One lonely leaf blew onto our deck, and I watched it dance around by itself.  

Satellite images show a massive storm tracking across the country.

This is the current weather radar, and we're right smack dab in the path of the storm that's almost upon us.   Tornado damage is reported in Oklahoma and Texas.  Roads are impassable in western Nebraska due to snow and wind.  The boyfriend planned to go to the pharmacy to pick up my meds, but I convinced him to stay home.  The days of heroic actions are over at our age.  The two of us bird dog each other's safety like mother hens.

I've got a good book started.  Bought it at a thrift store that had everything half price.  All books were 25 cents, so it cost me a whole 12 cents.  The title is Where the Past Begins, a writer's memoir by Amy Tan.  It's a perfect book to read during a winter storm.  

Yup, just that fast and it's starting to rain here.
