A Normal Day?

It's my last day of being snowbound, our driveway is cleared!!

I'm not really sure if it's just my state of mind, but today there were a few things that happened that gave me a little bit of a grin....

It started first thing this morning when we opened the garage door to let the dogs out. Left by the door were 2 packages that had been delivered by Federal Express yesterday. The delivery person had to walk through our snow-filled-drive way to get to our house--Kudos to him for doing that!! However, the packages that were delivered belong to our neighbors...

I must've been on a roll with the mail--This came from my Aunt today--It's a cat toy, that's for cats...What if the dogs want to play with it, I wonder if they would want too?

I've been resisting making brownies--It ended up probably being a good thing, because when I opened the brownie mix to make them today, this was on the inside...I think it's a cake mix...
Since the snow started, I've been missing a house-shoe--Today Sheba came to me with it in her mouth. I wish she could tell me where she found it.

Having a bit of cabin fever, we spent a little bit of time outside with the dogs. I noticed our rain-gauge has become a snow gauge; I think it's pretty accurate.
The drama for the day came when we came back in, I couldn't find our cat, CC. I was pretty sure she'd been outside with us. We looked, and looked for her, and called her as well. Carl had been clearing the snow off the roof, and being a worrier of course I imagined that maybe some snow fell on top of her, or maybe the hawk we've been seeing carried her off...It could happen, right??!!

Well, maybe not. Eventually I noticed that CC was napping in a spot that she's not used in quite sometime on top of our kitchen cabinets. Do you think that she heard us calling her and promising her a meal if she came? Of course she did....

I think all this is a sign that life is returning back to normal; whatever that is!
