One of my *Not* resolutions……
was that I would try to post an entry each day here on my blog.
Phooey! I have no photos today!
The kids and I went out early this morning to deal with the snow so Mark could plow with the ATV. While shoveling, I must have pulled something in my back, or twisted funny, as my back grumbled a great deal the rest of the day.
I was able to find another fun activity, though…..namely, going through what seems like zillions of receipts for items bought this year. I checked them with the statements issued by the credit card company, as well as our bank statements. I worked on these until I thought my eyeballs would spin out of their sockets. I had just leaned back and thought how comforting my bed would be when Ben came to the rescue, offering to further help me. We worked together for a couple more hours, sorting and filing until we both vowed we were going to open the window and just let them sail away in the bitter winds~
I also made some hot dog buns today. I had bought some Kosher hotdogs that I like, but they are incredibly large. No matter what kind of buns I have bought, they always seem to come up short. So, I actually made the buns from scratch, even kneading them by hand! I made up a batch of eight, and when I removed them from the oven, Ben and Michelle were both razzle-bedazzled by their beautiful golden color. I made eight and we each had one. Ben and Michelle said they were good, but Mark didn’t comment….he had spent some time in the garage today, working on a wood project with Michelle. I had made a fire in the little Jotul out there so they were relatively warm, but they both came in and went almost immediately to bed!
The weather is the big news here….seems snow is in the forecast….over and over! Hopefully, my back will straighten back out by tomorrow! As an aside, we only got about 6 inches of the fluff, whereas my parents saw nearly 36 inches! How I miss living in the snowbelt….

Hope your back feels better!!! You should go and visit your parents…36 inches is ALOT of snow!!
Oh hope your back feels better. Mine hasn’t given me a lick of trouble since it got better (knocks on wood) I catch myself though going “oh this will hurt so I better not do that” I guess it’s a good thing. lol
It hasn’t stopped snowing here since it started on New Years eve and this weekend is going to be worse than last from what they are saying so far. Poor Sherm will have arms the size of tanks from cleaning off Dads roof. He did it this past weekend and it needs doing again. At least I’m feeling better so I can run the snowblower and clean driveways while he and Mike tend to roof(s). Ours will need some attention after this coming weekend I’m sure.
Katya, I am so impressed that you manage to take pictures out in the freezing snow (ok…so none today, but still!). You inspired me and I nearly froze to death on a walk with my dog today. Check out my post.
I miss the snow belt too and also mentioned the difference in snow fall amounts on my post. Mom is in Webster and one sister in Williamson. Such a negligible amount here in Cdga compared to their towns!
Funny how you live “the next mountain over” from a major ski resort, yet you aren’t in a snow belt! Too funny. I do kind of miss huge snowfalls. I suppose if we lived in the southern teir we would have appropriate snow removal equipment, so I wouldn’t mind too much. Remember when the Fiesta slid off the driveway and those crazy guys picked it up and put it back on the driveway? Great memories!
