The weather is FRIGHTFUL!  It's all over the news about the streets getting slick and all of the accidents.  And Mamaw had made plans to go out.  She needs Poppy to look at her "eyes" again cause she still isn't seein very good.  Well, at noon there was no way she was goin to go out so she called Poppy to cancel her eye appointment.  We're in like flynn...

I hate to even go out to do my "chores"--it is rainy, slushy and WINDY!  It's hard to poop when you think your ears might fly off so I'm stayin in as much as I can too.  I'll rest and Mamaw will work on her novel.

And we washed towels--and picked up all the plants she's got on the floor--TESS IS COMING TOMORROW FOR THANKSGIVING.  Yep, and Deb too.  Well they are gonna stay overnight for that crazy Black Friday or whatever it is so she wants the basement to be "dog proofed."  But Mamaw says they are doin something even more different than that this year--some of the stores are gonna open up on turkey day so Deb just may shop all night.  Hayleigh is with her dad right now but she's comin tommorow evening too.  I think we might have a girls slumber party--been a long time huh Mamaw?

Mamaw is really concerned about Cully and his wife Becky.  Her "gut" tells her somethin isn't right.  She wishes they would call cause she doesn't want to be a busy body so we wait...get well soon Cully.  He's supposed to have a special procedure done on Friday so they said he could go home today and come back on Friday.  Mamaw wonders if he will make it that long...scared us to death when he had to go to ER in the ambulance with the lights goin and all that.  I respected all of that and didn't bark--not once.  I just knew this wasn't the time to be a watch dog.

I just can't get to Poppy fast enough when he comes in the door after work.  I nearly knock him over tryin to love that guy~  He's real special don't ya know?  Works hard for us and this morning when he left for work he said, "Gotta go to work so we can afford to buy your food, Miss Scarlett."  I felt bad...gonna love him forever.

We tired...so much death around us it is exhausting.  Ronnie Lester's funeral memorial was today in Hartley, IA.  We said our prayers...
