All on my own....

Hey guys! Mr. Skellie here. While Debra is off gallivanting with her son, I have been left here on my own. So I decided to take matters into my own bony hands and update all of you on all the latest adventures around here. I'll tell you about my morning first...I woke up at 4:30 this morning frozen to the bone and saw the Big Guy walking around the house with a flashlight. Now I know they keep it kinda cool at night around here, but this is ridiculous. I hollered out to him to turn up the heat while he was wandering around and he told me to get back in bed. I put on a hat and scarf
and then wrapped myself up in my rug
and got up to have a look around. First of all, it was down to 56 degrees in here...that's cold for even these crazy people. I found out the electricity was off and started to go snuggle with Debra. Well, the Big Guy didn't like that much and shooed me back to my shop...I mean, Debra's shop. ( I use it more than she does by the way). After another hour, the power came back on and I proceeded to thaw myself out. Outside was only 3 degrees, so we were fortunate that the power company was on the ball. Thanks guys! A bunch of junk happened before this, most of which I wasn't included in...I get no respect around here. First off, there was a fun trip up to get Debra's mom for Christmas...I didn't get to go. Then, they all rode out to the airport to pick up some guy named Ben...

I didn't get to go then either! I bet they had ice cream too. I saw the pictures, so I will share them here...even though I'm not in them...

We did have a good time at Christmas; this guy Ben, who turned out to be Debra and the Big Guy's son, seemed like a pretty game guy. I mean, look at this outfit! LOL! I later found out that Debra bought this shirt for him...I think he was trying to make points.
Debra and her mom and son drove the mom back home and the next day they all took off to see Debra's other son and his family. Again, no skellies were included...it was a good thing too as they were all in a 5 car crash! The truck was banged up a little,
but no one was hurt. All I can say is that if I had been driving with my mad skills, it never would have happened..but no one listens to me. So Debra and her son have been riding around in a race car called a Ford Fusion and I have been left at home. She did finally get all the Christmas stuff down,
but her shop was crammed full.
Then a guy named Ed came for a visit and he snored like a train! I'm glad he doesn't sleep in my shop all the time, I'd be taking drastic measures. He did bring me a cool present though, so I guess he's an okay guy.
I wonder if this will fit the bottle of tequila I have hidden away...It wasn't too long after that that Ed went home and the shop started to get back to normal just in time to have a snow storm!
Marlene was worried about me that I didn't have a coat on for the picture, but I was pretending I was in the polar bear club. Her quilt shop needs work and what needs to be done next requires clamps and they are just too big for me to handle. I will light a fire under Debra...(when she is not looking, LOL!) and see if we can make some progress. Besides, I would love to snuggle up to Marlene again...sigh. So as Debra always says, have a great day!
