woke up to snow

February 12th, 2006 at 08:11 pm

It was snowing and sticking to the road this morning. We went out to dinner last night, but we had our usual "visitors" who just show up to eat with us. Very annoying. I ate quickly and left.
DH is working on the bar area today. He has sanded the floor. We decided to fill up the hole where the ice machine was, with a wine cooler. We will never use it, but lots of people love them. (since all we drink is the $3 wine, boone's farm, we never needed a wine cooler.)
The road warmed up, so dh was able to get to his second home, the Home Depot to purchase the cooler and some grout for the new tile he put in.
I am going to make beef strognoff for supper tonight so this would have been a no spend day if he had not bought a $100 wine cooler. He is having to build a base to sit it on so that it will fit in the same space as the old ice maker. I hope we can get the ice maker working and just keep it in the garage, if not, we will sell it cheaply. That thing ran about $900 brand new.
This has been a noisy house today with all of the noisy tools and air compressors going. I am looking forward to dinner ALONE and a nice drink in hand. Maybe we should eat by candlelight in the dining room tonight.

    hey, do you and your husband still sit next to each other while you eat dinner? maybe if you sat across from each other, it would prevent people from plopping down across the table from you. especially if you appeared to be deep in conversation. Wink

    I'm in my early sixties too, and my husband is also seven years younger.

    Now that you have a wine cooler, maybe people will give you gifts of wine to put in it!

    Yes, we have sat next to each other for almost 30 years, we can't change that. These people would sit with us if they had to sit on the table.
    Yes, gifts of wine would be nice.

    ha! I am imagining them crawling up on the table to talk to you! Be flattered, you must be fascinating dinner companions. Smile

    Well thanks, I will try and look on the bright side. If only they would call and tell us they were coming, we wouldn't get so upset.
