Hello everyone,

The weather outside is frightful!!! It is about 10 degrees here in North Idaho - a lot warmer than a few days ago, when it was -15 wind chills! We have snow thickly falling and blowing about, quite the snow flurries!

Also - OH MY - our pipes froze so we are without water! Luckily, it is getting warmer, but we are frightened that the pipes will bust! Pray that they don't! That would be horrid! And in this weather, too! Thank God, the water works in the kitchen and laundry room, so we have  a sink, toilet, laundry,  and dishwasher. But no showers! We have been washing our hair in the sink - which works fine. I know, I know, we're a bunch of ol' west hicks! lol

Another horror : Tala, our Lab dog, is expecting puppies any day now! If not today! How horrid if they arrive in this blizzard! We shall surely have to keep them inside until it reaches above freezing! I will show pictures when they arrive. =)
