Week Past 01/15-01/21/07
Mon 01/15 was my first time to shovel snow for 2007. Snowfall started Sun 01/14 afternoon and it did not let up until late evening. I haven't prep up my snowblower yet so I psyched myself in the morning for a workout shoveling snow. Accumulation was about 3"-4" and wet. But my good neighbor Jim came to the rescue. He was already done with his driveway when he came out with his snowblower and offered the much needed help. I thanked him profusely. And I promised myself to have my snowblower ready next time.
This week was uneventful except I had to work six days. Since sales and customer numbers were down and store we had to cut hours for our part time associates. So Thu 01/18 I had to cover some of those hours when it was supposed to be my day off. With temps in the teens and single digits majority would rather stay or go straight home from work. I would. The only consolation is that gas prices are still below $2.00. It even went down to $1.85.
Sun 01/21 after mass, W and I decided to "tour" the "town proper" of Prior Lake. Compared to Farmington where we used to reside it only has one eating place and it turned out to be a bar. The place smelled or should I say reeked of tobacco smoke. The place was empty except for two other customers. Two mid age women playing pool, downing Miller and smoking. But they did not cause the smell. Because of the years the establishment has been operating that the smell of tobacco is now clinging to every nook and cranny. All tables has it's own ashtray. I can imagine this place packed at night. It also has a dancefloor. Just the same we tried their menu. It wasn't that bad. The bakery though, (Edelweiss), across the street had some good pastries.
When we got home I spent the rest of the afternoon and part of the evening assemble the last and third cabinet for the pantry.

it's colder than usual this year in the country, too. The downside is that it's harder getting up in the morning. How I wish it would be like this all year round from now on. I can't stand the heat of summer, especially at night.
Hello Tito R, salamat sa pagdalaw. We are currently experiencing the "real" MN winter. Forecast for this coming weekend is -1 to -2 air temperature with a windchill of -7 to -10. I'll take our Jan-Feb cool months anytime :)
