Day 17 - 17th January 2012 - Road Trip

The temperature this morning is much different than the last few days +1.3. Looks like we got  a bit of snow during the night, but the weather reports are giving rain for today. It sounds like it's changed already and has started to rain. Satelitte signal went out for 1/2 hour, and when that came back the internet went out, both are back. Technology is depended on the weather no matter what they may tell you!

I see lots of people enjoyed the Betty White Special last night celebrating her 90th birthday. Wow can you imagine being that smart and looking that good at 90, not to mention still working! That will be my mother, she enjoys working and will probably still be at that age too. All the power to her!

Lexi is going to get her needles this morning, every time I tell her she's going to see Dr. Tom her ears perk up and she looks at me. Apparently she has forgotten that the Vet's is not her most favourite spot to visit. She like him and the girls at the office but not keen on the fact that everytime she goes there they poke and prod at her. It's a road trip and she enjoys those, until we get into the town - she hates the noise, busy streets, etc. She's strictly a country girl. What a trip up, the back road was snow, ice & rain covered til we got to Carleton, and where was DOT - didn't see any salt trucks out and about! Of course we were late but I called from the Hardscratch road and told them we were on our way. Tom was pleased with her neck after it had healed from the abcess in December, she warmed up to him and gave him a kiss and she got a treat after her needle. Now all she needs is her Lyme vaccination in a few months - we have too many ticks not to!

A few photos from the road trip - not terribly exciting but.........



The co-pilot - she watches the road very closely incase she needs to take over the driving and on occassion gives her opinion of how slow the driver is going!
