And since we've got no pace to go, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

Only got about two to four inches last night but it makes for getting to work to be a nightmare. I mean we live in Colorado people. If you don't have 4x4 you will slide, it will be hard to get up hills and you will cause traffic back ups and maybe even crashes. What are you thinking driving your CRX in four inches of icy snow? Just doesn't make sense to me.. So, i stayed home for a bit, just took my time getting ready and didn't rush and found that it was better a little later, but still heavy on the side roads. I just came back from a lunch time drive to see the condition out there and most of the main streets are black again.. no worries getting home tonight.
Most people will be caucusing.. (weird, didn't think that was a word, but spell check didn't underline it) I am not. I would like to, but i am not registered in this city to vote right now. I just have never gotten around to it since I moved to Denver. So i think i will get my driver's license changed soon to be sure i can vote in November. I never voted before i was 25, and now i will vote every time i can. I just think, no matter what your beliefs are you should voice them and work to make this a growing nation. I have been very embarrassed to be an American for the last 8 years and I really hope i have the opportunity to be proud.

That's about all going on on this side of the keyboard.
I just thought that maybe i didn't put the last of the puzzle up here yet.. I will check on that tonight.. I am very sorry t have kept you waiting.
I have started a new project with my new sewing machine and it is going great. I have 10 strips for my patchwork blanket sew. I only have about 20+ left. I looked ahead at the weekend on the calendar and I am so excited to see NOTHING written on it. We have been going somewhere and doing something every weekend for a while and I am glad that we have one all at home. We need to do some picking up and general cleaning, but above that i want to get my blanket really underway. I am afraid that i am going to run out of pre-cut patches that i have made and then some strips will be completely different, but i guess thats what patchwork blankets are all about. I will post a picture of the strips later this week.
That's all for now. check back for snack updates.
(yesterday we had individually wrapped Rice Krispy Treats).

Birtha never ever talked too much, Had those television eyes

Sorry for the doubling up on the Rebirtha lyrics, but i just got an email from friend and apparently we freaks that can't get enough Widespread Panic aren't the only ones.
So last night the Indians and the Red Sox went at it again for the 6th game to see who will play the HOT ROCKIES in the World Series.
There must have been some major Panic fans working the music at the game because this is what went down at the inning breaks...

Surprise Valley - 1st inning break (this song has been a blog title for me "spirit move in all things")

Disco - 3rd inning break (this is an all instrumental otherwise I would have used anything from this wonderful song!!)

Action Man - end of the 5th inning (one of my favorites to see live and we did get in this past weekend " Fire inside, blaze of glory, space in time.... Hearts of gold, limbs of steel, man-of-war"

Surprise Valley - 6th inning game summary (again, they must really like it)

Thin Air – 7th inning break.(very appropriate seeing someone will be coming to the thin air, i guess after tonight's game...")

So keep your ears out, i am sure there will be more panic played tonight..

Well something else special happened today. I woke up a little early and Watson, my dog, wanted out. I let him out the back only to be greeted by falling snow. When i looked out it was only falling but nothing was sticking, but when i got up about 30 minute later to let him back in the grass was all white.

i don't expect it to stick around like last year as we are going to get back into the 70's next week, it is pretty to see and hopfully enough to scare those sox into loosing to the Indians.

Since it is snowing i got the fixins to make a slow cooker chili this afternoon and i also got a few pumpkins to carve while sipping beers and watching baseball.. LOVE THE POST SEASON!!!!

I also have some plans to put up some great pictures i took from my parent's visit a few weeks ago. There are some great pics i snapped that i would like to share. And one more goal for the day is to figure out the video on this thing so i can share some great stuff i have in that department too. Who knows you might be able to watch Panic playing Surprise Valley as i shot that song in Vegas this time last year...

Off form morning rituals :) and then my day can start..
