This has been an interesting and busy weekend.

It sleeted all day yesterday and shut down life as we know it here in the South. Some of the interstates were still closed today, but most of the more local roads were open. It is supposed to be back in the 70s by next week, that will be awesome!!

The H has been on an extended holiday and has spent most of it kicked back in his recliner watching a continuous stream of Gunsmoke, Bonanza and Andy Griffith! [emoji51] He seriously needs to go back to work. That's coming Tuesday. Thank goodness!!!

Two years ago, on this weekend, I did something that I never dreamed I would be able to do. I ran in the Mississippi Blues Marathon. I only ran the half but I never dreamed that would be something I would be able to do. I didn't sign up last year and this year it was kind of bothering me that I had not had the confidence to do it again. I had not been a runner and started training for it a few months before I ran it, and I guess it's me asking myself, "How did I do that?" that keeps me feeling incapable of doing it again.

It did make me feel a little relieved when they cancelled it this year because of the icy weather. My heart is sad for the ones who trained for it this year and didn't get to run it. Maybe I'll sign up for next year.

Everyone's pet pictures are beautiful.

Junk - I've never eaten plantain, but they do look like bananas.

Art - I'm glad your time went well. I've not thought about the "equal" thing. It is a thought to think on.

Hope everyone is warm and snuggled in.
