A very old stray {The Old Fella Story}
Went camping this weekend at a campground on the lake, had not been there for a few years. Once there I began to walk around looking at the different sites when I noticed a very old dog. He just lay t...

Good morning. Boy it was cold last night, at least for the Deep South. It was twenty degrees this morning when I got up but it has warmed up fast now that the sun has come up. I had a fire in the fireplace all day yesterday, it was nice to settle down in front of a nice warm fire and just take in the day as it came around. Yesterday morning when we walked the girls the wind chill had us at nineteen degrees. You should have seen me with my heavy coat, ear muffs and a scarf on. I looked like the Pillsbury Dough boy walking down the road being towed by two large dogs. It is supposed to be warmer today but there is a chance of some snow tonight. So far we have had a mild winter up until now, but maybe we won’t see the cold hard weather we had last year. It was quiet a welcoming for us with our first winter here with the heavy snow fall. It was nice for a while but it got old after a while.
Hobo and Suzie liked it, but Peaches and Mama didn’t care for it. When they would go outside with us Hobo and Suzie would run and plow into the snow while Mama and Peaches would look for the opportunity to go back inside the house. Right now I am looking forward to spring and camping. I think Sue and I will go to Florida after the 14th of next month for a week. The kids want us to go to West Virginia the third week in February for a snowboarding trip. I don’t think I am going for it remembering the hiking trip to Turtle Back Falls last summer. The kids don’t seem to realize I am getting older and not so agile anymore. It is hard to relate to older folks when you are young and still in your prime. It never crossed my mind when I was young that someday there would be things I would not be able to do later in life. Now that I am there it is hard to remember what it was like to have endless energy and feeling ten feet tall and bullet proof.
Okay, it is time for me to get ready to face the day. There are things to do such as walk the girls, prepare lunch, clean out the ashes from the fireplace and start a new fire, then get ready for the football playoff games that will be on this afternoon. Talk with you later.
