Winter Whopper in NYS

We interrupt our usual Trekkie stuff to bring you some Weather news…

Well, as some of you know, I live in New York State, not too far from Binghamton, NY. As you may have heard we had quite a whopper of a snow storm (technically a “Nor’Easter”) tear through my area on Wednesday night! Binghamton NY had a record 40″ in a 24 hour period, at times falling 5″ and hour!! We even made the national news! It started lightly on Tuesday afternoon, but by Wednesday morning, we woke up to this:

Backyard

Front stoop

About 36″
There’s two cars under here on the driveway (hedge in foreground)
My brave husband! For reference he’s 6″2″.
This was after I dug out 2/3rds of the front walk – note the height of the snow on the roof!
Here’s my husband about to turn into the front walk to get the rest of what I dug out plowed!
I got a bit spattered by the snow spray!!
Our sons — we plowed so much we had to refill the snow blower!
The snow atop the cars was almost as high as the cars themselves!
Like digging out the Materhorn!

We were all pretty knocked out after all this snow work — it took about four hours!!

Wishing you a relatively safe and cozy winter season, and I hope we won’t see another one like this for a long time! But yeah…2020.

Elf on a Shelf-Trek Style #5 and #6

Two for one today! (So be sure to go to the post!) I dedicate these to my friend, actor David Frankham, who played Larry Marvick in the TOS episode “Is There in Truth, No Beauty?” Merry Christmas David! ❤

Elf on a Shelf-Trek Style Number 4

Sometimes I miss the analog age, but not this much! Be sure to use his nickname…

Elf on a Shelf-Trek Style! – Number 3

Sorry I’m a little late with this — I got busy decorating for Christmas yesterday (Sunday). More to come in the next couple of weeks!

Elf on a Shelf- Trek Style! Number 2

Who said there’s no rhyme for Uhura? (look it up!) *

Elf on a Shelf- Trek Style! Number 1

Hey Everyone,

It’s that time of year again, when every other friend on FB is posting a variation of ‘Elf on the Shelf’. So I figured I’d jump into the ever-growing fray of Holiday Dad Jokes and add my Trek spin to it. It may not be original, but it’s silly fun! Here’s Number One (of 12) I think I chose the most obvious… 😉

I’ll have one a day for the next 11 days! (or more if I think of any others!)

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Hi Everyone,

Before the day ends, I wanted to wish all my American followers here a very happy Thanksgiving and I hope you had a lovely day! Stay Well and stay safe, and there will be many more lovely Thanksgivings to come!

Caturday with Spock #9

Even Spock can’t get away with sleeping late with a cat!

Happy Halloween!

Well, 2020 has been so scary, I’m thinking Halloween won’t be too bad. Alas, we’re not even handing out candy this year 😦 But I hope you’re enjoying the holiday in your own special way, and I wouldn’t mind joining THIS little party!

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

The past few days have been hard with the passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I keep her spirit in my prayers, and although I am saddened, I still see a glimmer of hope on the horizon. I made this tribute collage for Ruth, and I dedicate it to all who pursue justice for ALL. Rest in Peace and Power, Ruth. Thousands of little girls will know you, and follow in your footsteps. ❤ Here’s to you, here’s to them. (If you share this, please do not remove my name from it, thank you.)
