Well, it's been an unusual weekend. Just hours before work Saturday, my singer quit. His wife insisted he quit or get thrown out of the house with his 3 dogs. (Musicians call it the Yoko Ono effect.) So he quit, which left us somewhat "holding the bag". So, the work got canceled. Anybody is replaceable, but not in just a few hours. We have 2 weeks to put something new together, but it's already well on the way. A former singer who quit because we worked too much, soon regretted it and is already hired for the next few weeks. Probably not permanent because we still work all the time, but we should only miss the one job last Saturday. We just came out with new calendars which have the old singer in a lot of the pictures, but the dates are still the same. 
After the snow and ice we got weeks ago, the temperatures have been up and down, meaning the snow partially melts and then freezes back into ice. I could have shoveled it off but I didn't realize it would hang around so long. The residual ice is too thick to get off now so for weeks, we've been slipping around on the driveway. I've had 30 pounds of cat litter in the car for a week, because I want to make sure I can stay upright before I carry it in.
Yesterday I was doing dishes and looked out the window to see Taylor sitting next to the neighbor's shed. As I went to feed her, she came slowly walking across the empty lot to get here. Today, she was right here waiting. John
