Time Flies

Hello most humans and many others,

Well, it is true. Time flies when Missy Linda is driving everyone crazy. No, nothing new around here- - -just the usual.

We were expecting Missy Elise and her family to come from Fayetteville, AR, to finally celebrate Christmas. We also have had three birthdays in the family since the Christmas that was on the calendar (you know, on December 25).

It sounds as if we will be experiencing the same type of weather this weekend that we had on "real Christmas," and they will not be able to come here. This time, they will be getting the bad weather where they live, too. Previously, the storm turned north and mostly missed Fayetteville. This time it appears that it will hit us all fairly equally.

Missy Linda bought batteries yesterday in case the power goes out. Tio Kane had turned the gas off from the stove in the utility room this summer so they are going to get it ready to go. The people have groceries, and Mr. Nelson and Mr. Mushu are stocked up on food.

The only thing Missy Linda dreads is driving home from work on Thursday at 5:00 p.m. She is not too afraid of driving herself, but she hates to drive in the ice when other people are driving, too. She does have four wheel drive which helped a lot in the last storm. She doesn't mind driving ten miles an hour if that is what it takes. But, other drivers don't seem to share her ice and snow philosophy of "slow and steady wins the race."
