The wife is gone

You know it is interesting.  As an independent individual who rarely lets anyone know what he is doing or where he is going I have realized that I like to have Doreen keeping track of me.  When I slip out, do something maybe I shouldn't do or just be me it is not near as fun when no one is keeping track of me. I have all of these illusions of what I can do but when it comes to doing iut I lose interest.   I hate to admit it but I must be domesticated,  The only one that is truly happy is Maggie who gets to lay in the living room when I am around.  She still sleeps outside at night.  I miss you Doreen,

Left in the cold

I am sort of depressed today.  I thought that I would have plenty of time to take the mower off the tractor and put the snow blower on.  Well that did not happen.  Saturady came with snow and wind.  Mike and I had a great weekend planned with hunting and fishing that all went up in smake with the weather.  We still had a great weekend.  My place is a 1000 feet above Bear Lake we we got the 18 inches of snow and the lake got a skiff,  The blower is finally on and the deck is clear.  What a bummer.  I have lived here long enough to know that this snow is here for the duration.  La Nina is positioned in the Pacific so batten down the hatches, a long winter is coming.  It would be a little easier if Doreen was here to be depressed with me but she and Audrey and Ashley are in Aruba soaking up the sun.  Good for them, bad for me.
