Lots and lots of snow

We got buried in snow the past 2 days. A total of over 15 inches has fallen over the past 48 hours. That is way too much snow, and it is still fall! I hate snow. Especially since I have to walk through it all day, delivering the mail. It has been a rough couple of days. My legs were very sore yesterday when I got home. Trudging through the snow really wore me out. My darling wife fixed me a hot bath when I got home, and I soaked my tired old legs in the tub. It felt really good. I haven't taken a bath in years. I usually take a shower. I miss our hot tub, but, this was not bad. We are thinking of putting in a wood burner in our basement. A friend of ours is going to come over and see if it can be done, and if it can he will install it. It should save us a lot of money on our gas bill.
My mom and dad are going to Florida on Monday to see my sister Chris and her family. They are staying for 10 days. Lucky them! wish I was going with them. Maybe Dawna and I will take another vacation next spring, and head back to Florida. I think we will drive this time, and take a longer sight seeing tour. Maybe head to New Jersey first and see Steve and Michelle, then head down to North Carolina and see Daryl. From there, head down to Florida and visit with Chris and Tom. If Dawna's dad is still there, we will go see him too. Should be fun.
Not much else going on here. Getting ready to watch the Pitt Panther play Cincinnati in College football. Have a great day.

A new day

Okay, I have to admit, I have been slacking off from writing on my blog. I have no excuses. It has been 10 days since I have attempted to write anything. I was upset for awhile about my cousin Kathy passing away. Maybe that's why I didn't write. I don't know. I have been working a lot. But, I also had last Tuesday off for Veteran's day. So, no more excuses.
I finally finished moving all my steeler stuff into the basement. My new steeler room is ready to be used again! I will have to post pictures of it on here. It is actually pretty neat. Joey and I watched some football down there yesterday. Dawna needed some quiet to work on her concert, so we went to the man cave. Even Teddy came down for a little bit, while Dawna took a nap. He doesn't like walking down the stairs to the basement, so I had to carry him down.
Dawna sang at our church last night. She had a special concert after our thanksgiving dinner at the church. It was very nice. She always does a nice job when she sings. I could listen to her sing all the time. She sang to me at our wedding. A song called "Valentine." It was the first song she ever sang to me. Then she sang it again at our wedding. It was very special to me.
I am watching Monday night football as I am writing this. The Cleveland browns are playing the Buffalo bills. I hope the bills win. I hate the browns. Of course, the browns are ahead 13-0 now. Not looking good for the bills. The steelers won yesterday. 11-10. First time ever in professional football that a game ended with a 11-10 score. Pretty crazy.
My mom and dad stopped by for a few minutes this afternoon. They were on their way home from my dad's doctor appointment in Pittsburgh. It was nice to see them. They only live 10 minutes away, and I don't get up to see them as often as I would like.
Well, almost bedtime for me. I better let the dog out to pee, and then hit the hay. I will try and be better at wring on here again. No more excuses!
