I asked last night. Really I did. If I were to type at a really early time, like say 3:00 or 4:00 in morning would that be OK with you? We live in a smallish house, 1000 square feet where I type in the dining room, as I am now. She said yes. I had fallen asleep early last night, around 8:00 or so. Moved to our bed at some time and woke up enough to ask her about this typing.
If you are reading this on Monday I woke up early and typed this One Page Daily. But the really odd part is snow. Sorry to Kent and Christina, you missed it. You were visiting Portland on the warmest, nicest day of the year so far. 75° and calm, it made for a nice day of driving around Portland to visit our two typewriter shops. 75°, yes it was really nice. Was. So gone now. Instead, we have weather the Christine likes – snow.
We do not really care for snow. Especially in April.
When I was 13 my family moved from Orland Park, IL to Grangeville, ID. Grangeville is halfway between Boise and Spokane, almost to the mile. As far as one can get from large population centers. That year we had a surprise around Easter, a foot of snow. I woke up at a reasonable # hour. To look outside and see the handrail had grown to a foot high. I was 13, that was great. It continued each year for the four years I lived there in Grangeville. Within a week, before or after Easter it snowed a foot. It was “exciting” when I had my first car I got out in the snow and drove around. My dad went with me, teaching me about driving in the deep snow.
What the snow, this is not reasonable weather. Not what I have become used to in the 5@+ years since then. I can say 1 am very happy our heat pump is fully installed. well the furnace, had failed a few & weeks ago. A heat pump is working well. I am happy that FedEx delivered yesterday a new shower head for the kitchen sink. Sunday delivery? From FedEx? So it seems they do. Putting it on the kitchen sink was a breeze. That was nice, a warranty thing that had snapped off a few weeks ago. That was nice. But snow?
Snow belongs in Superior Wisconsin. It seems that it may arrive on Thursday. Hopefully, because I know the Peterson’s like snow. I hope they get it. (you are welcome)
Hopefully, you will get this letter on Monday. One Typed Page with something to type about.
