We had a snowfall last weekend. It left us with about 8 inches before you take into account the drifting. Out our front door looked like we were burying a dead body. It was heavy snow with ice afterward.
The next morning it looked like TWO dead bodies were buried out front.
But some young people who always follow their dad when he plows out the driveways in our development - he has the contract - once again did a great job shoveling our walk entrance.
Stockings still up? No. Cat toys moved? Nope? It's the TV. As in it's off. After about 18 years and 3 moves, it has finally given up the ghost. Usually, it is on constantly; if not watching something, it's playing music from Stingray. Yesterday morning it broke before I had my morning coffee.
So I listened to old records and the PBS radio station. But I also had quite a bit of quiet. It was distinctly different. But in a way, nice.
We now have to schedule a trip to Best Buy. When we first bought this flat screen, it was a Magnavox 42". But now we will be buying a REAL flat-screen - same size - but with the smart capabilities for Internet channels. The Magnavox is about 2 and 1/2 inches thick. The new ones look like they are half that size. Excited.
But in a way, I like the ability to listen to old LPs, talk radio, and silence. We have over 1,000 music CDs and over 500 DVD movies ( But to watch them I need a TV!).
But we'll have to wait for a couple of days to go shopping. Freezing rain and the possibility of snow are forecasted. In fact, the weather canceled our trip north to PA for our grandaughter Serenity's baptism.
Maybe next month.
