SNOWMAGEDDON 2010

Well, Lucy and I got to travel with my Mom on one of her business trips back to the east coast and to stay with Mimi and Gator. Boy! Did they have a surprise for us; Snowmageddon of 2010. This is picture of the backyards. Isn't it beautiful. Of course this was just before the electricity went out because one of those large snow laden branches came down on the power lines. With this much snow, it took them a long time to clear the roads and the electricity was off for 36 hours; long enough for the temperature in the house to get down to 53 degrees. Brrrrr!




This is a picture of Mimi and Gus helping to clear the driveway so Lucy and I could get to the house. I guess Gus was not really helping; he was supervising. How do you like Mimi's hat? Doesn't she look as warm as toast?

Fortunately, Lucy and I got to Mimi's and Gator's after the great snowfall and the electricity coming back on. Here are me and Gator taking Gus for a walk. Gus had a hard time finding a place to pee. My advice to you is don't eat any yellow snow.

While Gator and I are outside, Lucy is inside having a grand ole time. Nice and warm.


Of course I got to spend a lot of fun time inside, too. Mimi even let me help with the dishes, although Gator said I was just playing with the water in the sink. What is the matter, Gator? Don't you think this is clean?

While we were at Gator's and Mimi's we celebrated Valentine's Day, and guess who got flowers? No not me. My Mom got flowers from my Dad. Boy is the internet useful. All the way from Afghanistan, Dad sent flowers. They brightened up the whole day for everyone.


While we there, Gator volunteered to keep all the neighbors' dogs. Sometimes we had more dogs in the house then people. Here is Gator sitting with one of his wards. I think everyone was having a good time. Dad, if you are reading this, Lucy and I agreed that this is the type of dog we would like to have.
Well, everyone had a great time at Gator's and Mimi's despite the snow.






Even Mom was having a great time, although I think that was more because she had Mimi and Gator to help entertain us, and the fact that Gator used Mom's expertise to purchase some very fine wines. Until next time, I hope you are having as a great a day as my Mom. She deserves it and so to you. Love, Lucy and Thomas
