Let it Snow! Let it Snow! Let it Snow!

The temps here are absolutely FREEZING! 6 degree below zero in Chester! What the...? Chico is hovering around 22 degrees at night and up the hill in Paradise just 14 miles from my front door... SNOW! I worked at the antique shop today and kept my finger crossed if it did snow it wouldn't stick... I don't have chains and don't know how to put them on if I did. When I drove up this morning there was left over snow on the ground from 2 days ago and by 3 o'clock the rain tried it's best to turn to snow but could only pull off slush... whew! I must admit though I secretly was hoping to see some good sized flakes... I rarely get to see it... infact last February

(when I moved in my booth) was the first time I drove in snow in over 20 years.

The picture of Cooper and Olive are from the Christmas party we went to at John's work. He works as a chef at a retirement home and management thought it would be fun for the residents and staff to include pets. We had a blast... as you can see they dressed for the occasion... Cooper decided on an elf costume and Olive wore her pink party dress and leopard coat... I have a matching coat but I didn't get into the picture this time. Charlie got one of his Christmas presents early... a comfy bed. Doesn't he look content?

Have a fun day tomorrow and don't forget to laugh out loud!

Fun at the Chico Canine Carnival

John and I took the kids to the first annual Canine Carnival at one of the local parks in Chico. We weren't sure how they would react even though they have been to the dog park several times. Cooper, Olive and Charlie had a doggie blast! I was so impressed how well behaved they were even though they were obviously excited about being there. Olive kept entering the area where they were judging doggie Halloween costumes and trying to get in on the fun. She didn't care if she was supposed to be wearing a costume... I think she was amused seeing all those doggies wearing clothes! And she thought she was the only one!

The weather was and still is great today and this is the first family outing we were able to take since the summer heat. Olive cannot take anything over 85 degrees before she starts feeling uncomfortable. Judging by todays event we will take the kids for lots more outings this fall. I hope you are enjoying your day. Cheers! Inge
