I was out shoveling snow in the storm, which has been blowing and howling all afternoon, and I got to the back door and saw Fate lying on the floor in front of the dining room table.

I was so cold and the house looked so warm, I took this photo to capture the feeling of it. I felt so lucky to have such a warm house with so much color.

I made one of my thin gourmet pizzas tonight (we couldn’t get to the Mansion for Bingo) it was a garlic dough with Marscarpone cheese, peas and a touch of garlic powder.

I tried this pizza once before and it was a disaster, I overcooked it. This time, I cooked it for five minutes and it was perfect. Unfortunately, Maria felt ill and had to go and lie down and I hate to eat it alone in front of a warm good stove.

The dogs got warn out running in the snow (except for Bud) they are all passed out in front of the fire.

I still feel lucky, I hope she feels better soon. We both did a lot of shoveling today.
