Happy Wife, Happy…

February 27, 2016 by Alan Leave a Comment

…life. πŸ™‚

I don’t know if the gentleman involved is just proclaiming his love, or if flowers weren’t enough to make up for something… πŸ™‚

But I gotta admit this put a big smile on my face:

I love my wife sign

The Snow Strikes Back

February 2, 2016 by Alan 1 Comment

Shoveled houseI don’t know about the rest of you, but when I shoveled before dinner last night I thought, “Wimpy snow.” I knew I would have to shovel a bit again this morning, but slept confident it wouldn’t be much of a task.

I will never mentally insult the snow again. πŸ™‚

Snowy street, looking southOkay, it wasn’t horrendous…but I will feel what I just did all day. I’m not sure how much there was because of the way it drifts…and after an hour I still have the sidewalks to do. Okay, I’ll admit that I’m hoping the nice guy with the snowblower will do it while I’m working today. πŸ™‚

Snowy street, looking northWith the wind and the snow, everyone stay safe. Last I knew I-70 and 36 were both closed…so no reason to even attempt something dangerous right now. Wait a bit for crews to clear things up…

P.S. Is our complex the only one where they just plow down the middle of the road?

Happy New Year!

January 1, 2016 by Alan Leave a Comment

2016 Happy New Year!Strasburg Rocks! wishes you and yours a Happy New Year!

2015 had its ups and its downs…but, for us, one of its ups was this awesome town and its great people. If you are reading this and do not live in Strasburg, come by for a visit. Although there are probably a couple grumps within our population you could run into :-), it’s far more likely you’ll leave happier than you arrived.

Alan with New Year 2016 "hat"And, if you are going to be in the area and want to say hi, please contact us.

Whether you live in Strasburg or not, may 2016 be your best year ever! It’ll be our first complete year here…and we are looking forward to it!
