Ups and downs

DOWN
1) Got up early on a Saturday (instead of sleeping in) so I could get my studded tires off before the big rush next week because of the deadline imposed to get them removed by April 1st.
2) Planned to have to get 2 new tires but they said I needed 4!!! Apparently, if the tread between the old and new tires are too much apart it will ruin something in a 4-wheel drive.
3) They didn't have any tires I needed in stock and would have to order them.
4) I have to go back later next week.
5) Totally frustrated that I have to pay double what I planned.

 UP
1) We have the money we need to get the tires we need. With as much as I drive good tires are important. 2) Terry will be home next week and said he would make the trip to get the tires put on.
3) Having a WONDERFUL husband who can cheer me up and encourage me when I am down.

 DOWN
1) We have had cold weather, rain and snow the first 2 days of spring. Highs in mid-40's and lows in low 20's.

 UP
1) Tiny signs of spring
                     

2) Our grand daughter's birthday

Happy Birthday Christy!!

Getting 'Cabin Fever'

I was looking through some of my old pictures and started getting 'cabin fever'.  Terry and I had so much fun on our trip to Utah and Mesa Verde (the cliff dwellers) in 2005.  Hard to believe that was almost 8 years ago.  Here are some of my favorite pictures from that trip in our RV with 2 cats but they hid under the RV couch most of the time!!
