I have a way of yelling QUIET that makes the whole world shut down :0) It is a water free method. ;0) Terry who has been on the road all day headed back to AZ The snow was interesting. If the weather report calls for Rain or Snow showers with a high of 47 who you think that it might mean 6 to 7 inches of snow? Global warming my back side!!!

The last time when this really strange looking person came over to offer to help putting my mailbox back on it knocked-off perch a few months ago. The First and Only Other Time was when one of my favorite obed. judges was holding obed. classes at the local Y. Almost 9 years ago now. Dreamer was doing his usual "Hello, I'm here, hear me?" when she decided to teach me about vinegar water and sprayed him in the face when he said "Hello" to her. He ignored her then. A little later, as we were doing a nice sit, she walked by and DREAMER GROWLED!!!!! I was totally taken aback... didn't even attempt to make excuses for Dreamer. Sometimes it's right, and sometimes, it's not... depends on who's doing what and when.
