A Shut-in no more

Today the temperature has hit 43 degrees and the sun is shining!  It feels so warm!  I went out and shoveled off some of the snow on my driveway.  I thought if I could get the snow out of the way, then maybe the ice would melt off.  Aside from me essentially doing the splits, the plan worked pretty well.

After a few hours, I was able to get out and go to Walmart.  It was nuts.  There were people packed in there, and unfortunately, the groceries were not equally packed in there...

This was the egg case.  No eggs, just a sign saying "no eggs".  Way to state the obvious Walmart.

While Walmart is not normally my idea of an exciting outing, I was excited to get out today.  I did slide a little getting back up my driveway, but I made it into the garage.

Lola and I have just spent the day watching more tv.  I've cleaned out my DVR and have moved on to watching Pillars of the Earth on Starz on demand.  I thought the book was great, so I thought to give the mini-series a go.
    This photo really has nothing to do with anything, I just think Lola is adorable the way she carries her Ellie around.  She normally drops Ellie the second I try to take a photo of her doing this, but she didn't today.

I'm shocked at your Walmart pic. I went to Kroger and it was FULL of food! I was expecting it to look like your Walmart but was happily surprised. How fun to actually spend a day out of the house!

Europe 2024 {Day 10 ~ Munich, Germany}

On December 22nd, I departed Salzburg train station at 8:00 and arrived in Munich at 9:40.  The station is under construction and a real mess!  I finally made my way out and found it was really raining.  I made my way to a taxi and took it to my hotel.  My hotel room wasn't ready but they kept my bags for me and I headed out.   I have been to Munich a couple of times and wanted to see a couple of things I haven't had a chance to do before.  I planned to to go to the Nazi Documentation Center first since it was raining, but when I looked it up on my phone to double check the hours, I learned they had just closed for renovations.  So rain or not, I was going to have to head out to Nymphemburg Palace.  I took the tram out and then walked to the palace. I don't know why, but I didn't take many pictures on the inside. I also bought a ticket to the Royal Stables Museum which houses lots of coaches. I really found all the sleighs to be a sight to see, bu...
