Jackie, if the Elkcove thing pans out, we just might have to make a trip out west - it looks wonderful and so peaceful.  We took Scotty home around noon - with the winds blowing so hard and the snow coming down at such a fast pace, it was near white out conditions.  Greg is so good at driving in all kinds of adverse conditions, so I don&#39;t worry about him, it is all the other idiots on the road who concern me.  We were less than a mile from home before we had passed 2 accidents and one of them was a head-on collision.  After we got the munchkin safely home, we went to lunch and then furniture shopping.  We have leather furniture in our family room and it needed replacing.  It was very expensive but only lasted 5 yrs.  That room is done in a Texas style so we really wanted something that would fit in with the decor.  We looked at leather again but the only 2 that we thought were &quot;westerny&quot; looking did not come with recliners and that is a must in both the sofa and the loveseat.  We ended up going with suede this time, so will have to see how we like it once it arrives in a few weeks.  It sure seemed comfy in the store.  Greg&#39;s rocker/recliner is only about a year old but I have never thought it was comfortable and won&#39;t even sit in it because it makes my shoulders hurt.  He stumbled upon a suede Lazy Boy in the store and sat in it and he decided that I was right about his old one being uncomfortable.  The Lazy Boy was also ordered.  Well, think I will go get some things done around here before Big Brother comes on, so I will chat with you guys tomorrow.  Guess Steve is on his way to Caribbean as I sit here and look out at very deep snow - that rat&#33;&#33;&#33;
