Mom and I were supposed to go to her trailer with her therapist yesterday but Mom wasnt feeling well so we rescheduled for tomorrow.
I hope Mom feels better soon and the weather cooperates because I know she would love to go home for a little while.
A&B are saying they are coming home this weekend so we are looking forward to that! And once again, I hope the weather will cooperate because I dont want them traveling if the roads are terrible. But I bet they would anyway.

Busy morning but I have done all I can to insure we will have nice weather. I took Tracey to work in the Blazer, stopping along the way to put air in the tires for maximum traction.
After I dropped her off at work I stopped to get groceries so we would have enough supplies to feed hordes of teenagers expected this weekend and / or survive a blizzard. Also filled the gas tank all up.
So having taken all these precautions I dont expect much snow at all
