Day 314, November 11, 2012

The Berenstain Bears come to Westport!

Megan Watt stars as Momma Bear!!!

Such a treat to see her on stage

at the Westport Country Playhouse!!!

Al, David, Diane and I joined

Doug, Marjorie, Daniel and Kevin

at the Playhouse.

Later, Al, David, Diane and I met with

Hal and had a nice dinner at Rizzuto's.

Probably, our last visit while they

live in Westport.  We will miss them!

Momma Bear, Megan!!!

Day 313, November 10, 201

I love Dancing with the Stars!

I have seen every show from every season.

Sometimes I have used the DVR, but have

not missed a show.  With the storm "Sandy"

my DVR could not record.  So, I watched

the missed shows on the computer!

Now, I am all caught up and ready for

Monday night!  Loving the

All Star Season!!!

Day 312, November 9, 2012

What a difference a day makes,

sunny day, snow melts, fast!

I love quilting and love learning something new.

My friend Sharon has jumped into quilting and

is now teaching me!  She taught me paper piecing

today and I see a lot of birdhouses in our futures.

I have a quilt I have been wanting to make,

"Feathered Star" and it uses paper piecing.  It

is an advanced quilt, so I am going to make

bird houses and then move on to the

Feathered Star.  Thanks Sharon!

Day 311, November 8, 2012

Love waking up to a fresh snow!

It is so quiet and peaceful.

Views from our bedroom window.

 

Nothing like opening the door to the first snow

of the season.  It is quiet, beautiful and very white.

Hank likes it!

Looks like a snow globe.

The backyard view.

I think I will just sit a while, crazy!

The not so fun part of the snow, going to work.

David is off to work, computer and shoes in hand.

Plus the shovel and ice/snow scraper.

Oh, and Hank to help.

 

Day 310, November 7, 2012

My, oh my!  First Sandy, now snow!

Hank loves a snow day.

I am busy recovering from Sandy,

laundry, cleaning house, etc.

So a snow day isn't so bad since we

now have heat!

Hank likes to go out and eat snow and

then run like a wild man!

How I wish I had his energy!

David decides to go out and clear the car

for tomorrow morning.  About 5-6 inches

so far.  Steady snow all day...

Day 309, November 6, 2012

Coming home from dinner the night before, we saw that

CL and P was setting up lighting on North Avenue

and then five large trucks came up the street, we are feeling lucky!

We heard lots of noise and as time went on, we could

hear the workers getting closer to our house.

The lights come on in the early morning, eight and half

days with no power, not fun!

It was a new day,

I played Mah Jongg and we voted.

 

Day 308, November 5, 2012

Still no power, Al and I decide to go to Home Depot,

get fireplace items and order wood!

We can't count on CL and P, but we can build

a fire and keep warm.

Called Izzo's and they had a cord of wood

delivered in 20 minutes, now that is service!!!

Hank is thinking "that is some stick pile"!!!

We may not be as young as we used to be.

But, Al and I stacked a cord of wood and

did a pretty good job of it.  Nice and dry in the garage.

Fire built,

fire set,

fire going!!!

Al and I enjoyed our fire.

It was warm, cozy and we both

loved the popping and cracking of the fire.

Brought back lots of memories of our first house

and all the fires we had in our family room

fireplace on Maryland in La Crescenta.
