I've been up and paying bills early over here.
I too, like LEE, saw HUGE SNOW CLUMPS falling for a while. Now it's just a NASTY HARD rain. The weather folks did predict FLOODING on the news last night. Just a good day to have a blanket around me.
Lee: I always feel bad for the fur babies when it's WET and they need to do their business. Hope Ava starts to feel better each day.
Karen: Happy birthday to your sister. I wish I was 58 yrs young now! 
How's your body doing after all the church planting you did? Hope not too sore.
I called the "funeral home" that we will most likely be using when we needed to set up a PRE-PAYMENT arrangement to lock in current prices. I wonder just how much is "added" to this depending on your age when you come in for something like this? The pre-payment goes into a 3rd party trust and depending on how long you live after pre-paying, and you actually make a small amount of Interest. It all gets used or given back to your beneficiary.
Should be a very interesting meeting!
And get this.... you can pay with a credit card and earn points on your card! 
Mike: Hope all is okay over your way. Is Fay sick of soup by now??
Art is at the Dermatologist getting his latest "spot" cut out. They took a sample last week and sent it off to an outside lab and of course it came back Positive. Today he will be there for hours as they keep taking a cutting (don't know the exact terminology) and check to see if it has CLEAR MARGINS. They keep doing that until they find clear margins. It takes forever. He's not the only one in the office that is having that done. He took his crossword puzzle with him, and I think he has a book too. Long day for poor Art.
This is the first time he had a spot on the side of his neck. I'm a tad worried about this one.
Okay with all that HAPPY NEWS I'm off to get a cup of coffee. Make the best of the day folks.
