The barn

Our house

The Van, Crown Vic and barn yard
Robert is feeling much, much better and seems
to have lots of energy!
It's a good thing because we have about 20 inches
of snow. Robert has spent the morning dealing
with that. The snow blower kept freezing up on
him so it didn't go very smoothly, but he did
get it done in time for the snow plow to fill
in the opening to the barn yard. Fortunately
Dan Walker came along with a plow on his old
Bronco and finished the cleaning up the yard.
Connie and I continue to try and get together
once a week. I'm afraid she'll get tired of
this because she does most of the driving.
Yesterday Martha, Gabby, Connie and I had
lunch at Jill's at the Julien Hotel. It
was fun. They have a new "Maitre d'."
Phillipe sports a very waxed and pointy
moustache and a thick French accent. He
is also pompous, but he scared Gabby so
that she would long around to make sure
he wasn't nearby before she would go to
the buffet. He, as we were shown to our
table, whipped her napkin off the table
and as soon as she sat town placed it
with a whosh on her lap. She looked
horrified! Later, she pointed out that
the folks at the large table nearby were
getting the same treatment. As each
newcomer arrived Phillipe was on the scene
to "napkin" them. But, all in all, we
had a good time and a good laugh at
Phillipe's expense.
