Hi everyone,<br>
<br>
Well, today's the day we find out if the ground hog is going to see his
shadow and give us 6 more weeks of winter. Or so the tradition says.
The only thing is, the "official" ground hog is way off in
Pennsylvania, and we're way out here in Oklahoma, where some people say
we ought to go by a prairie dog, or maybe in this part of the state, an
armadillo or maybe a cottontail rabbit or something somewhat local. I
don't really want 6 more weeks of winter, but I'm not looking forward
to the heat of summer either. I've found myself wanting to finish out
the winter in hibernation lately. My daughter and I did go walk down
into our woods yesterday just to look around at the snow. It's neat
because you can tell what's been there before you by the tracks when
it's snowed. Two of our little dogs went with us, and they had so much
fun running and romping in the snow that I wished I'd brought a video
camera or at least a regular camera. Some of our cats went also, and
when we got down the hill to a little stream that runs through down
there, one of them thought they could just saunter across the ice.
Unfortunately it wasn't that thick, and after just a few steps, the cat
got dunked and had to turn and scramble back to shore, shaking each paw
with every step. The indignity! <br>
<br>
Susie was able to get out of the driveway today since they had moved
the pickup to a slightly less risky location yesterday, so the Coffee
Shop is open again for you fast food lovers, or people with scheduling
conflicts. <br>

I bet a good percentage of you will be watching the Super Bowl this
Sunday. Me, I'm one of those people you hear about that really
doesn't even know who's playing, but I'm looking forward to seeing the
new commercials. Due to the hefty price tag on every second of
commercial time during the big game, advertisers really go all out to
come up with the most unique, imaginative and memorable ideas to use
for this time slot. I don't care which one of those overpaid fellows
can kick the ball the farthest or run with it the fastest, I just want
to get a good laugh out of the commercials. (And I hope there are no
more wardrobe malfunctions this year.) <br>
