Moving Wall headed to Wellsville (in May)

"The American Legion Post 702 will bring the “Moving Wall” to Wellsville on May 7 for three days. They are looking for help now for volunteers for planning, set up and also for help in funding the $4,000 initial cost. Anyone interested in helping out or donating should contact Nate Scott at the Legion, (585) 593-5345.
The Daily Reporter is interested in any county names which appear on The Wall and is attempting to establish a comprehensive list. Please contact the Reporter (585) 593-5300, if you have further information."

If you remember, it was here in Fayetteville not long ago. I highly recommend you go see it.

Get me out of here before I become a true Southerner! I have been told I have acquired a bit of an accent (Thanks Naomi!), although it’s nowhere near a drawl! But what really has me worried…..I can no longer tolerate the cold. We have had a very warm winter so far but that has started changing (as evidenced by my last post). This morning it was only in the high teens, low twenties! The past 3 workdays I have had my space heater running right beside me. Twice I have snapped at co-workers (service guys that work outside all day) who walked into the office and left the front door open. Anything below 40-50 degrees is COLD to me. I actually spent 30 mins driving home on lunch the other day to curl up in my bed for 15 mins! I also needed to grab something I had left there so it wasn’t my only reason for going but that’s all I wanted to do that day…..be toasty in bed. Well my fingers have finally unthawed this morning (typing this probably helped). Stay warm all you Northerners!!!

Edited: Forgot to say I've also been wearing leggings under my jeans.

A rare sight

SNOW! I keep peeking out the window every few minutes to see if it's sticking yet.

Loch Ness?

In our pond! I am not kidding.



This video is not that great. (I need a new camera.) But you should be able to see the crane and apparently it was stalking this "Loch Ness" creature. I would see this dark blob surface and go back under and keep moving away from the crane and the ripples it created were quite large. At one point when it surfaced, as it went back under I saw a long thin tail! It was so weird. I wish I had been able to get a good video/pictures. But I had so many pictures on my camera and was trying to delete them to make room and the thing was so far away by then. I don't know what the thing was. At first I thought maybe one of the turtles but it looked different and was not "floating" near the surface and then the whole tail thing!

Christmas pictures

Disown your hometown

Can that be done? I am going to have to seriously look into it. The whole Wal-Mart debate that Wellsville is going through is ridiculous and bringing out the worst in everyone. One particular comment on the most recent Wal-Mart article had me laughing so hard. You would think that the person is being sarcastic but then again they are from Wellsville. Here's the entire comment. "Just tell us when Wal mart comes so I can send my wife down to fill out an application. I can't stand having her sit on the couch next to me all day long hogging up the television. If I don't get her back to work soon I'm fixing to leave her for her sister."

Life

2008 to date

-I'm taking a night class through the community college

-Henry hasn't called in 10 days

-When he does finally call I have to tell him his family had to put their dog down

-I'm having a little bit of friend drama plus having to listen to my co-worker's MAJOR drama

-I'm going to have to make at least 3 trips home between March and June

-I only have 92-98 more days to accomplish what I had hoped to while Henry is gone

I think those are decent reasons for my lack of posts. But I do have Christmas pictures to share at some point.
