    Thankfully, we had no power outage here at my house, but Missouri had some elsewhere. My kids expect to be gone for a few days this week, and I hope to use my wood stove while they are gone if it is not raining. For some reason, the chimney collects water when it rains, and it is capped. I want to try it out while they are gone. These electric heaters use a lot of electricity, and if the power went out, we would be 'up a creek'....

    I did get to talk to my Mother and niece and great niece today. yDS has not called yet, nor my brother.

    It was in the 20s today, and some of the snow has melted, and it is all full of pet and wild animal and human tracks.

    I did slip and fall in the snow Friday. OUCH. I don't think I broke anything, but I am bruised and sore. The dogs get scolded when they go too fast for me. That was Louie and Lisa's doing. It flies right over their heads. They just look at me like "What are you doing down there again Mom?" and "You are no fun." "Mom" is 68 years old and does not need so many falls. I only walk two at once any more. When I had 5 dogs (previous dogs), I walked them all at once, and got knocked down then too. I REFUSE to walk 6 dogs at once!!!! I guess it is time to walk my dogs again. I have to put Buddy at his dog house in the daytime, along with one of the others. He is a gate jumper and it takes hours to catch him. In the evenings, I put him in Louie's crate and bribe him with some extra dog kibbles. Lisa is a gate jumper too... but she has her own crate. Baby gates are a joke.

    @AAnightowl glad that you are ok after your fall. I've had a few accidents when walking my dogs and i only walked one at a time. With the ones that we have now and that we're getting older only walk one at a time, they're too powerful even with dog training.
    Had a good day yesterday, but barley wouldn't go out because his routine had changed, so back to normal today.

    AAnightowl… depending on what type of phone you have ask google or.. to load pics.. can’t wait to see..
    1. Unlock your phone.
    2. With a USB cable, connect your phone to your computer.
    3. On your phone, tap the "Charging this device via USB" notification.
    4. Under "Use USB for," select File Transfer.
    5. A file transfer window will open on your computer.
