I took RL to pre-school and came home to have my breakfast and get chores done. While I was outside doing chores Connie and Tommy, IR's other grandparents picked her up to spend the day with them.
After they left hubbie came up and helped me finish so we could get up to #2 son's house as he had just called hubbie and said Tif was off today and said their water was frozen. He needed us to go up and help Tif find where it was frozen and try to get it thawed out as son was at work in another part of the county.
We stopped at the dump and dropped off our trash and recyclables on the way there.
Thankfully the frozen place wasn't hard to find as the pipe insulation that son had wrapped the pipes in had fallen off part of the pipe that was close to an outside wall. We left the lights on and close to the pipe for a few minutes and then when hubbie turned the water back on the pressure thawed the lines and the water worked again.
We had a nice visit with Tif who we don't get to see very often because she usually works on Sundays.
We left there and ran our banking, PO and Sam's Club shopping errands on the way home.
We got things put away just in time for daughter to get here with IR . Daughter had late basketball practice so IR was staying with us until she finished.
She wanted to go outside and play with Rosie as today was the first time we have allowed Rosie to run around off her leash. She loves IR and stayed right with us as we walked and got chores done.
The only thing Rosie did wrong all evening was chase the flying guinea hens across the yard but when I yelled stop she stopped and came to me and sat down.
We got all the chores done and then came inside to have supper. IR was very hungry and ate an entire serving of mac and cheese along with some crackers. And then we had a dance party with the TV songs that she loves.
Her mom picked her up and headed home just out the road but IR didn't make it after all the activity here.
She plays hard and when she sleeps she is out like a light.
Hubbie and I relaxed for the evening. D-in-love called and said RL wasn't feeling well this afternoon so she might not be coming in the morning if she has a rough night. There has been some kids in her class at pre-school with the flu so I sure hope she hasn't picked that up.
We say good-bye to the first month of this new year tonight and January 2019 has been a topsy turvy weather month beginning with warmth and rain and ending with extreme cold with a major ice storm, some snow and lots of rain mixed in plus a few extra nice park play days in the mix and school was only closed for 2 days because of bad weather. My market sales have really been slow and I am curious to see what my month end figures are going to look like. We held our annual stock holders meeting on the last Saturday of the month and I was re-elected to the board with the second highest vote total and then switched from secretary to treasurer on the new board.
G-son finished up his first year of middle school wrestling and enjoyed it very much. We celebrated BB's 4th birthday on the 15th . We welcomed a new member to our family when we picked up a dog that a friend of daughter's couldn't keep any longer and made Rosie the 6th Australian Shepherd we have had here on the farm and after only 3 days with us she has proven how smart and adaptive to change she is as she settles in very nicely.
Thankful for the blessings of this day.
God Bless and Good Night

Let's hope that February has better weather than our January did. I can do without all the brutal cold and snow we had. Blessings and have a great weekend. Blessings
