A little snow and some ice coupled with 50 mile per hour wind and it feels like home on the prairie. Who knows what the rest of the season will be like? Some predictions are for huge amounts of snow but we have had it pretty easy time so far. If your crystal ball is working better than mine let us know. We might make it to the actual start of winter. Some thoughts are we have had lots of rain this past summer and fall that it continue with lots of snow this winter. My bunions don’t work well and I have lost track of the last foggy day predictions which will tell us when we will have a major snowstorm. Squirrel nests will indicate how cold it will be. The bigger the nest the colder the winter. I have a squirrel that’s helping himself to the foam in the dog’s cushion when it being aired out I’m not sure what means. The dog doesn’t like it and the wife doesn’t like it because it makes a mess of foam crumbs in the house. I’m not capable of knowing what it means but I know it’s my fault.

Minnesota is the best-run state in the nation, according to a new study from USA Today that cites Minnesota’s strong fiscal management, low unemployment and poverty rates, above-average median household income, and the state’s nearly perfect credit rating. Just a few of the reasons we chose to live in Minnesota, despite the snow and cold in the winter and the heat and humidity in the summer.

A heart surgeon came to a mechanic to repair his car. The mechanic had a look at the car’s engine, opened a valve and fixed it.
The mechanic said, “I repaired the engine which is the heart of the car. You also operate on the hearts of humans, so our jobs are quite similar. So why is it you earn more than me?”
The doctor replied, “Can you repair the car when the ignition is on? We can!”

Wife: “I have blisters on my hands from the broom.”
Husband: (trying to be playful) “Next time take the car, silly.”

Have a good week!
