Digging the Jeep out...



We had to go over to Dawn's house this morning. So before we left, I went out and brushed all the snow off the jeep and the truck. The sun was shining bright and I was hoping the ice underneath would melt. When they left last night Dawn's car locked into 3rd gear and she could not get it out. So I watched Rylee while Beth followed Dawn to the garage to have it looked at. They were only gone about 20 minutes and Rylee never even knew they were gone. She was sleeping in her swing, which she loves, so I never even got to hold her. We came home and had lunch. Beth was able to get the jeep out of the snow and into the driveway. I had a doctor''s appointment at 2pm and she was going to see Jojo in gymnastic class. So off we went. Of course the parking lot at the doctor's office was full. I did find one spot but it was a tight fit. There were several people ahead of me and they were running about 30 minutes behind. Just Great. I was finally called back. After explaining to the nurse what was wrong, she left and then the wait for the doctor began. To my surprise I only waited 5 minutes. We talked awhile and she pushed and pulled on my knee. After all that, she said it was probably arthritis, but the stability of it had her concerned. So I now see a specialist on Friday, which is quicker than I thought. So we will see what he says. We are bracing for another snow storm. We will get snow it is just a matter of how much. Some say a foot maybe 2. Kyle is coming over tomorrow after school and will stay the night. Depending on how much snow we have, he will either be on a 2 hour delay or be helping Beth use the snow blower and clean off driveways and sidewalks. He wants to earn money so he can buy a new phone and it will help us out. If we have a lot of snow he could be here a couple of days. Good thing we have the guest room done. I just have to find the sheets and blankets for it or just have him sleep in the sleeping bag on the mattress, He doesn't care either way. Today's picture is of a redtail hawk that landed in a tree behind our house. I am sure he was looking for lunch.
