Kill the Groundhog, utilities, failing passing, passing of a loved one

Does that lady really have a gun?

I really want to kill the ground hog!! He saw his shadow in February which means that winter weather should have ended by the end of March. Wrong! It is still Freezing cold and we have had more days of snow/rain/hail/sleet than we had the entire winter months! So, when he sees his shadow we have more winter than when he doesn't!! Now, I ask you, is that fair?

Since we are still freezing, that means the furnace is still coming on. Usually by this time of year, we can open the windows and enjoy fresh air. That means that the furnace isn't running and neither is the air conditioner. That in turn, means that my gas bill gets lower and my electric and gas bills level off at about the same amount of money for a couple of months! Guess not this year. Winter will stop and it will go right in to summer! Bet ya any money...............

on another note......Why is it that people are afraid to pass trucks and busses when they get the chance. You are on a 4 lane highway. If you are in the left lane and the truck is in the right, it means you can pass them! The road didn't get any narrower just because there is a big vehicle in the other lane. Just like the road doesn't get any narrower when it takes you through a tunnel. (Tunnel. My nephew's first word. Tunnel. But that was 37 years ago......) Anyway, The road stays the same width. They fit in there lane and you have room to pass them in yours. If that were part of the drivers' test.................you'd fail.

My sister in law's Mom died last week. The funeral was yesterday. Having lost both my parents, I know exactly how hard it is on my sister in law and her siblings. The funeral was very nice, and Babs read the eulogy. Very touching. All the kids and grand kids wore something yellow in tribute to Annie. It was her favorite color. She was a very nice lady who raised 4 children in a small 2 story house in Large, PA. She was hip and stylish, but sorrowfully, she looked nothing like the Annie I knew when I went to the funeral home for visitation. She will be missed.
