Thank you, Chewy, and Snowpocalypse 2017

I got the nicest surprise this past Thursday!  I came home to a Chewy box sitting on my front steps.  It seemed odd since I hadn't ordered anything recently, so I didn't know what to expect.  

Opening the box, I fully anticipated either a toy or a bag of treats for the boys.  I was delighted to discover two bottles of champagne and glasses to go with them!  I love the glasses -- they're nice and thick, with the Chewy logo printed on them.  I toasted Chewy as I drank the first bottle.  The second bottle will be saved for a special occasion.

Thank you, Chewy!  This was a wonderful surprise!

Snowpocalype 2017 is upon us and I'm absolutely hating it.  This was a record-breaking year for snow.  We haven't had this much in 35 years.  

My neighbor and I shared a driveway and he always took care of it, plus the sidewalk in front of our houses.  I didn't even have a shovel!  My neighbor passed away a few months ago and no one lives there now.  I've tried to keep on top of it and it's just been miserable.  The snow is endless and just keeps coming.  A friend has more than one shovel and has been kind enough to lend me one of hers until I can get one.  This is the view from my front steps.

The snow is taller than my chi's.  I've gotten my car stuck in it more times than I care to admit.  Fortunately, someone has always been kind enough to stop and help shovel me out.  The picture below is of my neighbor's house.  Look at those icicles!
