Home alone in a blizzard. That is my plight. Lesley is somewhere in transit to New Zealand. The last I heard from her she was heading for Denver, Co, then to California for a day, then on to New Zealand. Meanwhile, the dogs and I sit here in a real blizzard. 50 MPH winds, and several inches of snow so far,and more coming all day. The driveway is impassable and will remain so. It is supposed to warm up next week, hopefully enough to melt this stuff. It is a good day to read a book and watch the Masters golf on TV. That is if the power doesn't go off, it frequently does in these high winds.

Well, just heard from Lesley. She is in Denver, on standby for an earlier than previously scheduled flight to Calif.

If I don't hear from her within the next 1 1/2 hours that means she is on the plane. Whether it is in the air or not I won't know for awhile. Such are the vagaries of air travel these days. I guess I can try to figure out how to track the flight on the internet. Sigh. Sometimes not having a cell phone is inconvenient.

The dogs made very short work of their morning outside business today. It was less than pleasant weather for them. Hopefully attached are pics of them dressed for action. They were disappointed this morning when Lesley never drove up the driveway. Alas, we won't see that for a month.

Lesley put over 30 meals in the freezer for me and has all her girlfriends calling to see if I am allright. So far, so good. I will not be working on the basement finishing today. As you all know by now, I can be quite lazy when it suits me. Today is such a day. About 3/4 of the basement is done, hope to have the rest by the time she returns.

My coffee cup is empty, you all know what that means.
