Mamaw was so tired today she stayed in bed till ALMOST NOON! Poppy took me out this morning and of course it snowed so he did the scoopin this morning and cleared “my personal spot” for me. They are soooo good to me.

Poppy did his thing all morning and finally took the gate down so I could go “harass Mamaw.” She didn’t mind—just said, “Scarlett, let’s just hug a little while Mamaw wakes up then I’ll get up.” I was glad to hear that—I think Poppy was too. Gets pretty quiet around our house when she’s sleepin—or mad…that happens sometimes too. Thank God it doesn’t last forever!

She got up and finished cleanin up and putting stuff away—she’s satisfied now. And then she and Poppy had a nice visit about the weekend. And she did a photo project for him too…then she asked him if it was “our turn.” My blog was late getting posted today, but who cares?

It snowed today—the weatherman says we got a couple of inches during the night but it just kept snowin all day so I don’t know how much we got? Anybody know how much snow we got in West Des Moines? Guess it doesn’t matter except it’s hard for me to get used to it. When I go out the “crunch” of the car tires isn’t a good thing and the snow blows off the roof and I definitely do not like that! And then, of course, Mamaw does most of the shoveling and she’s done that two more times…

Other than that, it was a TIRED day…for all of us. We didn’t play, we didn’t leave the house and we didn’t cook. It was a good day none the less. We’re just chalkin this day up to “a mental health day.”
