Good Morning Everyfriend!  I'm up but definitely not "attem"!  Cooper came again at 5:30 a.m. and I had my alarm st for 5.  I woke up at least 5 times.  Twice was because my phone sounded like an incoming text and nothing was there.  It's been doing that every night for about a week now and none of my phone "specialists" have been around to fix it for me.  When Cooper isn't coming, I don't even take it in the bedroom and I sleep better. 

I think I could manage to take a nap right now but I have to get dressed and take two doggies for walks.  They expect it and it's good for them....me too!

I have no real plans for today but I'm thinking of a quick trip to Davy's.  I was thinking of doing that yesterday too and I didn't.  I just think my "get-up-and-go" got up and went!

We're supposed to have snow 3 days in a row next week.  If it anounts to anything, we're in for IT! 

I guess I better "put an egg in my boot and beat it" or the doggies might not get their walk!  I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

It's a white world outside my window.  We had between 1 and 2 inches of snow.  It is the wet kind that clings to every little branch and twig.  The temp. is supposed to go up to 42 this afternoon so it won't last long.  No "dancing" here....we'll let Mother Nature clean it up.  She put it there!

Maybe a nice big pot of Potato Soup would be just the thing for dinner tonight....and a pan of hot corn bread.  Sounds good to me.

Take care, All.

Good morning from the Interior with no news, each day both newsworthy or weatherwise sounds like the day before. We are still sliding around zero, which is noteworthy because January is normally in the deep freeze.

On the plus side, I'm warm, fed, showered, and healthy, and I hope the rest of you are as well!

phyllis

Lloyd, we melt Cheddar in the Potato Soup, too, and sometimes sprinkle on some pieces of cooked bacon.  Yum!

We got a call from our doctor tonight inviting us to go to a hospital tomorrow to get our Covid Vaccine.  We feel like we won a lottery.  So blessed to be able to go together and get this done.

I love potato soup, PHYLLIS.  Hope you enjoyed yours.

I hope everyone had a good day.

Sleep well.

Good chilly morning.

Beautiful full wolf moon shining out there this morning.
Need to pick up some groceries at 7 am, the senior time to shop. Will bundle up warm as it is -6 ° at the moment.

Phyllis, we also love potato soup and have just finished the last of it here. Made your custard recipe in the instant pot and oh my that is so good!!

Jenny, happy to read you are getting your vaccine.

Better get ready for town.

Enjoy your day and stay safe!

good Morning everyone. AMY we are at better temp. than you are but nothing to  brag about. we are at 30º and calling for high Of 47º clear now but saying Partly sunny later today. as you said wrap warm.

Lloyd

JaneS

Good Morning Everyfriend!  It's also cold here but not as cold as it is where AMY is.  Our overnight low was 17º and that's LOW for this area.  We've had temps in the single digits and below 0 but that's not usual. 

JENNY, around here we have to do the calling for an appt to get the vaccine and I feel good to have got through the jammed phone lines to get an appt for 2/11. 

The boinger went off and I had to go give Mickie her breakfast and then hurry back to post this before I end up losing it.

LLOYD, I hope things are working out for you with the legal stuff and that you will soon be able to relax and enjoy your family and your home!

I have an eye dr appointment later this morning and I'm going to have to get some stuff done before I go there.  I wish you all a good day....better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow.

WHERE'S SHIRLEY?

Good morning EVERYFRIEND 💐

I forgot to mention that I left a message on Shirley's home answering machine telling her we are missing her and we hope she is doing OK.  I have to admit that I am truly worried about her as she normally would never be gone over a week without checking in.  I hope and pray she is OK. 

JANE, we have to call around here too to get on a site and register so that we might be contacted for the vaccine.  I waited on hold for nearly one hour on Wednesday to talk to someone only to be told that there were no appointments available this week.  We contacted our doctor early on when the vaccine came out and they told us they would not be having any of the vaccine in the office, we had to register on other sites.  That is why we were blown away when our doctor called last night.  Happy you are scheduled for yours. 

I wish EVERYFRIEND a good day.....stay safe and warm.

gOOD AFTERNOON I really am late.I had a case of sitting on the thrown and not sleeping. I slept 2 hours finally this morning. Yvette just went to the store for me. Coldest mornig so far 0 and wind chill -13. I keep turning the heat up and wrapped in a down throw. When I PULLED UP THE SHADES THIS morning I SAW THE BIG BEAUTIFUL MOON ABOUT READY TO SET.

Jenny,  I remembered that Shirley had given me her phone number when Emily was driving back and forth to KC and had planned to try and call.  Seeing that you got the answering machine worries me.  Hope one of the kids will hear your message and reply.

Beautiful day in central Oklahoma but too cold to sit on the patio.  I'll be glad when it's warm enough to do so and I can spend my afternoons reading out there.

Have just posted a recipe for Steak Crumbe that I made for Scott's/my "dinner date" this week.  It's in the "What's For Dinner" folder but I don't know how to do a link.

Looks as if some 1099's came in today's mail.  They surely are slow arriving.  Off to make a note of which ones arrived today and do some other desk work.

Hope Everyfriend has found something to Enjoy today.

they dilated my pupils at eye dr. this afternoon and I can barely see what I'm typing so please forgive the errors.  The good news is that there has been no pressure change in the past 6 months and that means no change in a year.  Hooray!  When he finished telling me what he needed to say, he asked if I had any questions.  I said, "just one.  Is it still safe for me to drive?"  He said "No problem, there!"  Just be careful"  I always am!

I might not make it back in tonight but don't worry.  I'll see you all tomorrow!

The day flew by and didn't really warm up much. Shopping was quick and we scurried on home . They had eye of round on sale and two came home with us, one has already been cooked and chopped up for the dogs to have in their food.

Jane, that is good news!! Now you are good to go for another 6 months.

Going to relax tonight :)

Shirley

I'm here, just trying to get my head organized to talk. I tried to call Jenny back but she flew the coop.

I come in every day, check on everyone and the mind sputters and I back away. I just don't feel like playing nice yet, and since half the population voted opposite from me. I do NOT want to hurt feelings of those 50%.

I feel like I've had a death in my family and can't come out of the sadness. It is the death of democracy, of this country as I've known it. I never ever thought in my life time that we would face socialism but it is a fact that a country can't be both socialist and a democracy at the same time.

So there it is. I don't want to be on a soapbox and don't want to talk about politics and politicians. Somehow I think it's wrong to put a poor man into office and in 4-8 years he/she comes out a millionaire/billionaire. How does that happen?

And that's my story, I'm not a nice person these days.I do thank y'all for worrying about my health.... I am fighting a battle to see but can't get to even TALK to the surgeon for cataracts until March 30 & getting both eyes done & glasses made comes later & the summer is shot. Not helping my attitude.

My CDs had to roll over this month and the rates are beyond acceptable so dumped them in a money market account & will look for better interest.... one thing satisfying, if I don't make money the gov can't tax it so kind of a highlight in this mood. (That's what I'm fighting, I really don't like MY attitude-ME). 

Ah, Amy, now I don't feel so bad seeing you fed that eye of round to the fur babies.
 I had two slices of one that I ran through the tenderizer for minute steaks, didn't have any hamburger thawed for the cats supper so cut up a minute steak to give them. They love raw meat.

Jane, your statement about driving home with dilated eyes came at the right moment. My instructions from the eye clinic was to "have a driver because they would dilate my eyes" and I was sure I always drove myself home before this. I hated to have someone wait 2 hours (what instructions said it would take to see if I needed cataract surgery).. so thanks for the tip. I am NOT liking having to depend on someone to drive me...

Sandy


Good Evening Everyone! 

Jenny and Jane  ... congratulations on
getting your appointment for the Covid Virus. 

So far, I am still waiting... and
wearing a mask and keeping my distance
when I have to go out. 

Glad to see Shirley that you are
ok but sorry to see  you unhappy .

Peace be with all of you .
Love Sandy

Good morning everyone, Finally slept good last night, feel be tter. Yvette went and got me a bottle of. Pepto Bismol and it worked great. It  is 5 but with windchill feels like -8. No even thinking of going ou t for me.

AMY  I can see you rushing t hrough the s tore and hurrying home  to warm up near your wonderful s tove.

SHIRLEY  we have all wondered wha t happened  to you. I feel like you with the new pres. I  think  the reason some go in to polo tics is  to get rich.
Cheer up we only have  more years of this jerk. First time I had my eyes dial ted the eye doc. said nothing about having a driver. I drove home into the sun and was so thankful when I made it home safe wi th no accident, or even a near miss. Now I do need a driver every time and he dilates my eyes every visit.

JANE  hope you go t enough ZZZZZZZZs las t night

Have a good day and s tay safe from the covid.

Good morning....

Mercy tis cold out -20° this morning. Not hanging laundry out this morning. Not much else on the agenda other than delivering some bread to friends.

Lloyd, I will take your 43°...sweater weather :)

Gloria, I got in and out of the store in jig time. I avoided the crowds and picked up all that I needed. Dogs sure licked up the eye of round that was cut up and put in their food.


Good to see both Sandy and Shirley  here, now if Joy would pop in and say hello. I wonder how her son is doing??

Patricia, thank you for a site. Callies recipe sure sounds good.

Better get a move on.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good Morning Everyfriend!  First and foremost....SHIRLEY, I DID NOT DRIVE MYSELF HOME AND I HOPE YOU DON'T TRY THAT!  I could not have seen anything but white blobs in front of my face and I would have been a menace on the road.  My good neighbor across the street was on call and he and his wife came to get me when I was finished.  He drove me home and she drove my car home.  I live lest than 10 minutes from the drs office so they were happy to do it. 

I already hav Cooper this morning and I have to take him to the groomer at 11 this morning and then pick him up after!  Right now, Cathy is at the grocery store with my list and her own and I have orders to be on the other end of the phone for questions. 

Both doggies are due for a walk but I'm hoping they'll be happy with an outing in the yard.  It's really COLD here again this morning and I really don't want to face the winter wind!

I hope you all have a good day....better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow. 

Nice to "see" SHIRLEY and SANDY!  Now where's JOY and PHYLLIS!

Good morning.  It is bright and sunny but cold.  Most of the snow is gone but we will be getting ice tonight.  I'm really not happy about that.  If we have to have anything winterish I would rather have snow.  Oh, well, the fridge, freezer, and pantry are full and the heat pump is working just fine.  I got a new ebook from the library and I have lots of warm blankets so all is well here.

The one thing I'm sad about and even though I have hesitated to say anything I've decided to risk it and say it anyway.  I know that we all have differing opinions about everything.  That's what makes us so interesting.  But, it can also cause hurt feelings amongst good friends so I would hope we would all of us have the discipline to post our remarks on "sensitive" issues, especially on current politics and political figures, in the Political Forum, please.

Take care, All.

Phyllis,  thought you would enjoy my husbands humor. We were eating the baked custard (my gosh it is good!) and he asked if this was the last? Yes, I replied. So he said this is custards last stand?  Till the next one it is. :2funny:

This is so quick and easy in the instant pot. /color]

Hello Everyfriend!  AMY, I liked "Custard's Last Stand", too!

We're supposed to have snow beginning sometime tonight and lasting into Monday.  The forecast is for 12 to 24 inches!  I really hope we're in the 12 inch area.  I'm supposed to have Cooper tomorrow but if it snows much and is snowing in the morning, Frankie might not be able to go to work. 

Now I think I'll just go to bed and worry about all that in the morning!  I hear the zzzzzs hollering for me from the haystack so I'm off!

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy, healthy, germ-free tomorrow.  And may God bless us, every one!

A late HELLO to EVERYFRIEND 💐

JANE, I watched the National news tonight and they were telling about all the snow you are possibly get and I said a prayer that I sure hope it is not as bad as it looks like. 

Welcome back, SHIRLEY. After reading your post I went to look for your call and sure enough, found your message.  I was getting my Covid Vaccine when you called and I had turned the ringer off on my phone and forgot to turn it back on.  I will try to call you soon, or feel free to call back when ever you have time.

Everything went perfect regarding us getting our vaccine. 
When we got there Bob scoped out where we were to go and ended up having me park right out side of the door....entered, got our temp taken, walked two steps and checked in....had paperwork all filled out so it was a two minute time, walked a little way and immediately sat down for the shot...both of us at the same time, went into the room and schedule our next shot, waited our 15 minutes and we were done.  VERY WELL SET UP, everyone there was so nice, of course we are thanking them profusely.....great experience.  We really were so lucky to be able to do it this way😘. Bob has the very slightest soreness at the injection site other than that nothing.  I did not feel a thing when given the shot.  It was bleeding a bit and she push firmly on the site before putting the bandaid on.....as we were waiting I started to feel the very slightest tingling around the injection site....then it started moving down my arm ...very light tingle.....did that for a couple of hours.....and, about the same time my nose started running.  It did that off and on for the rest of the evening....when I was in my chair watching TV and after I was laying down in bed it did not do it.  Only when I was up moving around.  Now do either of these things have anything to do with it??  Who knows? 

I hope EVERYFRIEND had a good day....pleasant dreams to all.
