Wow.  Another whirlwind week and not sure how they slip by so quickly.  Tuesday we were visited and had dinner with out of town relatives.  Always nice to see and catch up with.

Wednesday, friend from California was here and ended up at Jack Stack Freight House as a favorite BBQ place.  He was amazed how nice it was in the 60's as he brought parka but never needed. Terri starting getting sick again on Thursday and down still today.  One of Terri's cousins passed away on Wednesday from what appears to be an apparent heart attack.  Only 47 years old !

Friday brought us one of our first major snow storms of the winter waking up this morning with 4-6 inches on the ground.  It looks so pretty but I am going to have to get dressed pretty soon go out with the task of snow blowing the walks and drives and also do a couple of my neighbors that can't do it.  Taylor on another note had an accident last night in this weather.  Hit a slick spot and car spun out head on in to a pole.  Fortunately no one was hurt but I am a bit perplexed as the airbags did not deploy!

  I can tell just by the damage it will be totaled.  Now the task of getting a new car.  Well that's another week at a glance and more to come.  Stay warm everyone!

WOW...what a day in Kansas City with 62 degrees.  Yes, got Christmas lights down off the house and all put away.  So nice to wear shorts all day long.  Cleaned out the garage, took the car and washed it myself and polished the wheels and tires.  Even had the roof all the way open and it was great.  Going to be in the 50's almost all week so we can't complain about that.

Weather was so nice as cooked steaks on the grill this evening.  Thought about taking the cover off the fire pit and lighting it but it was so nice, didn't even need to do that.  Hope you had a great day and more tomorrow...

Happy New Year Everyone

Hope everyone's year is off to a great start!  I decided to after several years of being inactive to bring the blog back so let's see how it goes.  Friday was a great day meeting with clients and vendors as the promise of the New Year hopefully looks bright despite what is happening politically.  I am not even going into the political mode as it just frustrates me as well as a lot of other people, but I will say this government shut down has got to end.  The people getting hurt the most are the people not receiving pay checks.  And a couple things I did not realize about the shut down until recently, airplanes are not being inspected during the shut down and the longer this goes on, IRS tax refunds will be delayed and a lot of people and the economy count on this...  Enough already, wall or no wall and that is all I will say.

Had lunch at a GREAT little spot on the map, Price Rite Market & Deli aka: "the little store" on Line Creek.  That place is packed with bargains and everyday needs.  Plus the people that own it cook and make their food daily!  Yesterday's special for National Spaghetti Day was Spaghetti in red sauce with two house made meatballs, salad and bread and butter for only $5.99 !  They have daily specials and carry out a wide variety of Italian entrees all made fresh daily.  Check it out and follow them on Facebook.

Happy Hour'd last evening at Summit Grill in Gladstone.   Drinks very reasonable and small plates at happy hour more than a meal.  Had an order of Street Tacos (3), 2 Sliders ( only .95 cents each) and 6 wings and we were stuffed.  It is kind of confusing as the tall table in the bar are for the "dining room" and you have to be seated by hostess for those, so you must be at bar and sit at bar for Happy Hour.  Parking is alittle crazy as in same building as apartments, so somewhat limited close to building.  Check it out if you haven't as great addition to Northland...and packed on Friday evening.

Weather supposed to be nice tomorrow so maybe take down the Christmas lights outside?
