Ana Brusso We were talking about Sir Buddy not surviving in that cold weather. Our cold here last week was 48 and he didn’t go more than five inches away from the door to do his business. We laughed and of course cleaned right away . Total coward in the cold, Sir Shadow is very courageous. 👍

Richard Munson He is using his treadmill. The bad news is not with the motor on. The weather outside if frightful, but the snow is so delightful. Maybe not. I had to struggle to open the door at 4:30 a.m. so shadow could do his morning business. Drifting snow and howling winds. He was a party pooper. He managed to eke it out. When you gotta go, you gotta go. He has a bad case of frozen butt. No telling how much snow we are going to get. Glad i started my car saturday.

Richard Munson Yes, i might take a picture once i can open the door enough to squeeze out. Right now its coming down sideways. To all those global warming alarmists the world over i say waaaaaaaaaa. The good news is we did buy a generator a few years back which turns on by itself when we lose power which has occurred a few times already. So will they tell me to conserve water this summer ?

Rose Madura Take care Richard!

Ana Brusso Oh Richard, had a hard time getting the website and couldn’t post. Glad Shadow is using his treadmill which is very handy at this time. I was living in New York in 2017 when we had that almost same weather. I think this one is worse. So sorry for everyone hit by Hernando. You make Shadow doing his business funny. Thank you for the laugh. Will wait for the picture. Take care dear hvs brother. ❤️🙏🤗

Richard Munson No walks since snow fall. I have no desire to be the one that falls. Break your hip, nursing home, kiss of death. I have a treadmill but we have a new purchase. Stay tuned. Picture to follow shortly. Now they are talking more snow for the weekend. Just woke up and its 10 degrees outside. Yuck.

Fidel Martínez Ruiz Actually it's cold, not to walk too much on streets.

Ana Brusso Glad you are staying indoors my dear hvs brother. No need to take any chances.

Ana Brusso My mother spoke fluent Spanish and we would sit and listen to an album someone had given her with poems from Spain recited by a man also from Spain and that is the only poem I remember. I don’t know “La Tempestad” but I imagine is beautiful . I’m not fluent but I try.

Fidel Martínez Ruiz Great Ana!

To my hvs godchild Deena, My little Angel Susan Lynn, my hvs brother Richard, Our Rose, Fidel, Valerie Allen, Kimberly, Susan Ackerman and Pamela. Met with my neurosurgeon and he gave us good news. Aneurysm is not attached to the brain, we will wait 6 months and do a scan to see if it has not changed. If it chances the procedure will be done through the carotíd artery by the neck and put a clamp on it. There will not be a brain surgery. Thank Lord and Praise Jesus and The Holy Spirit. Thank you all for your prayers they were heard. I am so grateful for all of you, God bless you

Richard Munson That is such great news ana. My prayers were answered. As you know, he is always shocked when he gets them from me. I was a little pleased reading my biopsy scores but i am reserving judgement till i get some professional opinions sooner rather than later. The 1st is a lifetime away.
