Our weather missed several good chances for snow throughout the day and here at 5pm, we are sitting in the clouds and it is snowing. We just got back from a late afternoon walk, exercising the pooch.
Michael worked on Steve’s truck all day and I quilted. Once I decided to use the same color thread top and bottom, my tension problems went away.
And I discovered today that here is some customer service left in this country. A while back I purchased a 5-pack of Colgate toothpaste at Costco. When I started using this toothpaste my first thought was, “yuk!” It was thin, runny and every piece of clothing I own had toothpaste dribbled down the front. Nasty stuff. I’ve always used Colgate toothpaste and thought I would just return the un-used tubes to Costco—they are great about returns. But then I thought, why should Costco have to deal with Colgate’s problem. So, I did something I have never done before—I emailed the customer service department listed on the back of the toothpaste box. In two days I received a reply and in less than a week from that reply—today, I got a check in the mail for the entire amount I paid for the toothpaste plus a coupon for a free tube of Colgate toothpaste!
And that is about it for our day—nothing much going on around here!
A photo I took a couple years ago—The East Boulder river in winter.

I had a Mountain Bar once that had moths fly out when I unwrapped it. I wrote a letter to them, and they send me a whole box of Mountain Bars. It was a while, though, before I wanted to unwrap one. Still love Mountain Bars! I also use Colgate - love the flavor.
ReplyDeleteStill jealous of your snow. :) I remember the complete silence when it snows. I'm definitely going to need an RV in which I can be warm and comfortable on freezing, snowy days.
Your snow photos are sooooo beautiful!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe snow looks nice - almost like Colgate toothpaste!!
ReplyDeleteThe picture of the winter scene is terrific. And that is just how I like to see it-in a picture.
ReplyDeletethe squeaky wheel gets the grease..I once returned a half eaten chicken pot pie to Costco..tasted weird!..full refund!..
ReplyDeleteNice how the creek meanders into the photo from lower right & then wanders out behind the shrub on the left. It is the classic 'S' shape photographers look for in composing photos whether it be a creek, road, fence line, etc. Ya did good Grasshopper:))
