Wacky Weather

A rare snowstorm blanketed the Las Vegas Valley on Wednesday, delaying flights, causing widespread fender-benders and canceling events. As much as 8 inches of snow fell in parts of the valley. The only thing that could have made this rare event more special would have been for it to fall on Christmas.

Shame on me I’ve been neglecting the blog again

So I've been more than a little absent lately. Happy belated Thanksgiving my friends! I have so much to be thankful for this year. Not only did I have my husband home to celebrate the holiday with me, we also got to spend it with awesome friends (Jenn and Gary) who prepared a very delicious meal and were the most gracious of hosts.

I can't believe that tomorrow is the first of December! Where has the year gone!?! Feels like I just dressed up for a Halloween party and now sleigh bells are ringing. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas around here. We have up our tree, a wreath, and various Christmas decorations. I say every year I am going to start early and have Christmas shopping done by now.

Well, guess what I have bought a total of ONE gift so far. His name is Kody.

Kodiak (Kody) is a full-blooded mini pinscher that I bought my husband Bruce for Christmas. He was missing his dog so much since he had to give him a way to move and I got tired of seeing his sad face looking at the doggies on the animal shelter page. Needless to say, he was very surprised when I brought him home. Kody has fit right in and he and the cats are getting along shockingly well to every one surprise.

So 25 Shopping Days left till Christmas guess I better get busy huh?
