Today is a Good Day the Box says

“Always take pics of furniture but ever furniture boxes?” Granddaughter Maura wrote in a text with this photo

I responded “why not?”

Guest blogger today is Maura. Oh she managed to send an abandoned chair too

And the white and blue box says “today is a good day.”

Look What’s Happening in Niceville Florida! Guest Blog

6:57 am update from Niceville adding to

Original post

“All done I think. Currently, 22° and 5 inches of snow that stopped about 11 PM last night. Most major roads are currently closed.

We had a snow sled that we bought at a yard sale about 30 years ago. At 22° outside, I am not planning on getting it out! 😁”

Unexpected text from a friend with this scene in Niceville, Florida!

Earlier it was 28 degrees and temp lower now

“Almost 5 inches of snow and still accumulating. So glad we moved to Florida. A good day for soup and. . . . Homemade pumpkin bread! Your mom’s recipe. First time we’ve tried it and it is good!” Shuey

**“Magnolia leaves are fairly large and collected quite a bit of snow until they shed it due to the weight. The end result is the driveway looks like the end of a snowball fight.” Shuey**

It was almost 13 years ago that our family friend Shuey sent this wonderful photo of the Barred Owl and was guest blogger. It was the most viewed post that year!

A few photos of parts of the estate we were allowed to snap photos.” **Marianne M**

Bank Parking Lot Shot -Guest Blog

Blog follower and friend Andrew Wagner and I took some photography classes at Manchester Craftsmen’s Guild years ago. Gigapan is the one I remember the best. He has a terrific sense of humor. Andy is the guy who told me I’ve that my “blog was like a Kodak Carousel slide show- you never know what’s going to be next.” I felt complimented by his statement.

He sent me this photo from the bank parking lot. “freeze my account” he wrote.

Then he turned it and asked, “Does it look better if it looks like they are crawling uphill?”

I like both views.

How about you?

Thanks Andy for contributing a photo for today’s post.
