I don&#39;t know what today might bring (and I hope I don&#39;t jinx us by saying this) but our 8 - 12 inches of show turned out to be a mere dusting last night.     Perhaps the storm turned away because they expected a lot of closings and delayed opening by this time today.   <br /><br />Today we will hopefully tackle a problem we have in our garage.   We have &quot;something&quot; living in there.   Not sure what and I certainly am not going out to look.   Last week we found several things knocked off the shelving in the back of the garage but we came home from Dave&#39;s yesterday to a huge mess.   We have a small shelf running the length of the garage and just about everything on that shelf was on the floor including the curtain off the windown.    The fuel for the deck lanters was spilled all over the floor, windwhield washer fluid can turned over, can of oil, etc.   Had to cover the floor with kitty little to try and absorb most of the mess.    Have no idea what got in there and truthfully I don&#39;t want to know.    We have a storage loft over the garage which we never have used so I fear something may be living up there.   I&#39;ll keep you posted on what we find.    <br /><br /> Thanks Kevin for starting off the day yesterday.   I had wondered who would be the first up after me but never even thought of you.   You usually handle the late night duties when I am fast asleep.  Love the new avatar .<br /><br />Jenn - It indeed sounds like you are in a lose-lose situation and I know it is easy for all of us to tell you this but you will be no good to your Mom at all if you let your health suffer.   It sounds like she truly is a danger to herself as well as others around her.  Seems like you don&#39;t need another brick wall to run into - you already had a pretty big one.  Just remember that we are here for you when things get overwelming.   <br /><br />Martha - How dare your work schedule interfere with an important thing like a minor league baseball game.   lol  Of course you can have a rain check.   You and Lee are welcome here anytime - just let us know what dates you are available.   I&#39;m so glad Aubrey had her very best birthday ever.    That was quite a buy you got on the stride-rite shoes.    <br /><br />Jackie - it sounds like your get-away did you a world of good.    It&#39;s great that your new RV held up to your expectations.<br /><br />Cheryl - It&#39;s nice that you and Greg got away even for a short while.    This will be a stressful week for you and I&#39;ll be thinking of you and hoping that all works out, especially for Scotty&#39;s sake.<br /><br />Ed - This is Roe&#39;s next to last trip to Ca.    I&#39;m sure she will not miss that Monday morning commute.<br /><br />Falina - glad the Memorial went well.    Wow those homes are expensive.    How is Dennis doing being back on the road?<br /><br />Andrea - you are a good daughter.    Sounds like a big project you started.   <br /><br />Vickey - I&#39;m so happy to see you becoming a regular member here.    You are a true inspiration with overcoming all those medical set backs.     Isn&#39;t it a shame that it takes something like you went through to make you realize how important it is not to put off things you really want to do and to live life to it&#39;s fullest.    For us it was the sudden death of a very young friend that served as a wake-up call.<br /><br />Jim - how is the deck coming along?  Our deck is once again covered with snow.    Will we ever get to use it? <br /><br />Joey - one week closer to our cruise.   Yeah&#33;&#33;&#33;   Hope you had a good weekend.<br /><br />Robert - Hi to you and Annie.<br /><br />Shari - good morning.     How are you and Marc doing?<br /><br />Carmen - hope things settle down at work and you are able to join us more often.<br /><br />Steve - Hope things quiet down at work for you also<br /><br />Rose - Happy to hear your sister is doing well.   I&#39;m sure it is very hard on her not to be able to do things.<br /><br />No work for Jim this week but we have a lot of things scheduled and the guest room is still a disaster area and we have company coming in 17 days.    I&#39;ll have to light a fire under him and get him moving.  That will be the next thing on his schedule after he goes out to slay the creature in the garage.   lol<br /><br />Make today special and I&#39;ll check back later.
