There is one Pizza Hut in town that has an actual dining room inside the restaurant where you can go inside and sit down and eat the pizza and wings. All the other Pizza Huts are just for delivery now.
The bst part about this Pizza Hut is that they have a buffet at lunch for only $5.99. So you can get all the pizza and salad you can eat for under six bucks. Love that!

Maybe I should make that stronger. Must LOVE dogs. Because I am a dog person. I have dogs and they are like part of my family. They are like my kids. So if you are interested in having a relationship with me, then you must be a dog person and you must love dogs and you must love my dogs. That is plain and simple, and there’s no wiggle room.

I love March and the first signs of Spring. The weather get a little rainy, but it gets warmer. I can’t wait to bring out the flip flops again. Spring is coming!

Evidently, in my family, “normal” is just a setting on the washing machine.

Mt Granny’s best friend for almost her whole life passed away in her sleep last night. It was a very sad phone call this morning from my mom to let me know. The people in my granny’s generation would always make close friends a type of family member. We called granny’s friend, Cousin Margie. Even though she wasn’t really a cousin by marriage, they wanted to make her feel like part of the family and they wanted the family to respect and love her like one of our own. So we grew up with Cousin Margie at a lot of holiday dinners and summer vacation trips.
She was a good woman and very special to my granny. I can’t help but think that if she died in her sleep that she had a peaceful death and probably did not suffer. And she is in a better place now. We will all miss her very much, especially granny.

It has already snowed for two straight days and we have at least four inches of snow on the ground. Usually the snow melts as it falls, or might last overnight while it is colder and no sun to melt it. But this time it is very cold and the snow isn’t melting. It is still supposed to snow tonight and again later this week. I wonder if I will be able to get to work in the morning? They have closed school and I’m thinking about calling in to work and taking a personal day off so I don’t take unnecessary chances with getting in a wreck on the way to or from work.

Don’t want to go out on New Year’s Eve, so I declined the party invitations and will be staying home. Today I stopped by the nursing home again and spent a couple hours with my granny. She wanted to play cards with a couple of her friends. It is a version of rummy and it takes about 2 hours to play if everyone is paying attention and don’t get sidetracked with too many stories and jokes. It was fun, even though neither of us won the game.
I guess I will fix a nice dinner, maybe a nice salmon steak and rice pilaf, and watch the ball drop in Times Square tonight, then get some sleep so I start the new year off on a good note.

Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
I am exhausted and still have a handful of presents to wrap before I can go to bed. Tomorrow will be a busy day. Looking forward to a few hours with fmy sister’s amily and then a visit to the nursing home to share a nice dinner with my granny and my mom. The food is actually very good – and I don’t have to cook it or clean up afterward.
Then I will go to my brother’s house and hang out for a while. I always enjoy watching his kids play with their toys and games. They are so competitive but have learned to be good sports and are very generous with sharing their toys as well as their expertise on the different video games.
