’Til Next Time | Musings from the snowbound

After being shut in by snow, the thoughts that I’ve jotted down are short and jerky.

Am I the only person that gets frustrated trying to reorder a prescription?

What makes me think that I could just keep jerking Kleenex out of that box and it would never go empty?

Snowpants and coveralls with big heavy-duty zippers make such a racket in the dryer.

I’ve become so stoved up from walking in deep snowthat I can’t get up and down off the sled, so banned my self to the porch swing to watch.

A surprising quote from the scientist Einstein: “God reveals Himself in the harmony of all that exists.” I’ve read so much this week, I forgot where I read it but I copied it down.

As I watched a movie on a satellite station, I began to realize that for every three minutes of movie, I was watching about two minutes of ads. I also found my hidden talent of a quick mute finger.

Another quote from Will Rogers: “Anytime you get big headed, try ordering someone else’s dog around.”

I ran into that this week when I tried to run off a dumped dog.

My newspaper that I couldn’t find in the deepsnow turned up after a melt day. Bare ground looks good!

The Valentine breakfast had to be canceled, but the Brightwater men are going bowling Feb. 26. Church was canceled last week, but was glad to see so many out this time.
