Chilly and overcast here - realize I have a nice lamp I really have no place for and hate just giving it to Goodwill - it is big and difficult to store - I wonder if one of the grandboys in Lubbock would like to have it and if so problem solved Paul and Sally can bring it up with them when they drive up for Christmas -

Looked at the Calendar and Dec 1 is this Sunday - Christmas season is upon us. Well need to get back at it - determined to get this room organized before tomorrow and still have not tackled the closet...

Another day on the way out. Managed to finally get 4 gumdrop  cakes and a double batch of date squares done. Shortbread cookies and Nanaimo bars maybe done  tomorrow. Weather man is calling for snow Thur, Fri and Sat ,doesn't that just warm the cockles of ones heart!
Tomorrow Jesse turns 6, he is still very much a pup at heart.

:pumpkinpie:, Everyfriend.

Son who isn't in Cancun just texted me that he's bringing a plate over "later". Yum!

Hope he does so before original movie of "Mary Poppins" (with Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke) begins tonight. It's the 60th anniversary of the movie and I've forgotten the details - although I read several of the MP books and remember her as being very stern - not like the musical.

Good Morning Everyfriend!!  I hope you all had a HAPPY THANKSGIVING yesterday.  I spent it with my Daughter Cathy and my SIL Craig!  She sure is a great cook!  When I got home I decided to rest a bit and I went to sleep.  When I woke up, I decided that I might as well hit the haystack!  You don't suppose I'm getting OLD, do you?

Today is going to be a "catch up" day!  Cathy and I both decided that we do NOT want to fight the crowds in the stores so I'm going to work around the house.  I wish you all a great day.  Make it your own in every way!

Good morning..

It is a winter wonderland outside ..when I went to bed it was lightly snowing. Now there is about 1 1/2 inches and the snow is still falling.
Not enough to dance with  Mr Snownblower but enough to waltz with Mr Shovel.

Better get the day started.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Happy Day After Thanksgiving! The sun is shining, but the temp is only 35o. It looks like the temps are only going to be barely above 40o for quite a few days now, with temps into the 20s at night on a few days. It also looks like, for now, we are staying below the snow line.

We had a nice Thanksgiving dinner at a local restaurant, nothing special, just the basics. What mostly struck me at the diner is the number of people who were in wheel chairs or using walkers. I have never seen so many in one place. Also, there was a large family gathering in the back room. At least four of the boys/men were wearing red/black buffalo plaid including the tiniest of the group. That little fella is an explorer for sure. He kept crawling out the door of the room into the main area. So cheerful, so tiny. Absolutely delightful.

I am not going to complain  about the snow, it did turn out to be closer to 3 inches. Son called and said Watertown NY is to get 5 to 6 FEET of snow!

Good morning everyone, I spent yesterday rearranging and tidying my living room. I'm hoping to finish that today, as well as a few incidental household duties I've put off. Minus 26 presently, but we're warmer than the overnight low of minus 30 and heading back into the pluses by next week.

I decided to wait on my turkey and only snacked throughout my day as I was busy with the living room. I needed to move shelves out of the way, so maintenance would be able to get to the nonworking GFI plugins, and, of course, ended up doing more.

Meet and greets went well, everyone stayed home and unsurprisingly, no one cooked a fancy meal. We may get together later next month for a pre-Christmas gathering, if the weather and roads are better, less icy.

Amy, we had a 2020 mid-October snow that deep and ended up having Anchorage snowplows work their way north through some lower mountain passes to dig the Interior out. It must have been quite a sight, that 400 hundred-mile journey north!

Now, we have giant snowplows with accompanying snow dump trucks that look like huge metal outrigger canoes following those plows. Since we aren't getting and staying as cold as years past, we've had more snow due to more humidity and this year's freezing rain has been another concern. Our world is changing faster than anticipated.

Patricia, when you get snowed in you don't fool about it!! Our east coast will get a snack of snow like that. I don't mind a foot at a time but please make it light and fluffy to move. :thumbup:

Amy that October snow was a record, when normally the arctic winter's dry cold weather inhibits more than two to four inches of snow, now we're getting the same amount as usual but the new to us freezing rain melts it down to rutted ice. We're not used to winter humidity.

Oh lordy our pittance in the 50s can't hold a candle to the winter weather y'all are talking about however, it offers us a challenge in that hardly anyone has winter coats and the young men were here to cut my lawn today wearing 3 hoodies over each other to stay warm. They hustled and had it all done to the last leaf blown in a tad over a half hour

Took down all my hanging plants and sat them close to each other on the porch as if helping each other stay warm - I think they will be OK - it is going down to 39 tonight but that is not freezing and then a bit warmer tomorrow.

Sally packed leftovers for me from yesterday's meal and so today I warmed it up and enjoyed again a full meal including a piece of her pumpkin pie.

Spent hours on Amazon finding appropriate gifts - the delivery on some things is spotty but more, a few items would come directly from China and they give a delivery window into January - I ordered one thing last year from China and never again... the delivery was weeks beyond what they said it would be and then not all the parts were included - ended up sending it back and since I purposely look for things made in the USA. However, I notice some of these Chinese manufacturers now have addresses in California - I've order things and where the delivery is within the usual window of an Amazon delivery time-table again, often there are missing screws or other bits are missing. I understand Walmart delivers now - I need to look into their website and see if they would be a reasonable substitute. Not driving is a pain however, even if I could manage I would be a danger to others on the road and would not be able to live with myself if I ended up causing a traffic mishap all because of a shopping trip.

Tip - on these cold nights a hot drink is nice but coffee is a no no if I want to do any sleeping and so usually it is a cup of tea - well I found the most unusual tea and it tastes grand while adding to my immune system - love that concept - ordered it on Amazon - Traditional Medicinals Tea, Organic Echinacea Plus Elderberry, Boosts the Immune System, 16 Tea Bags price $4.49 - if you are in the mood to try something new it is worth a try.

Good snowy morning...

Seems we were gifted with more snow last night. Now the question is ,is it a dance with Mr SB or a waltz with the shovel again??? I don't think we got it as bad as other areas but it does need to be dealt with.

June Drabek would have celebrated her 100th birhday today. Happy birthday June.

After the snow removal it is household chores if energy is still with me!

Barb, I enjoy different teas and will look for that one. Just finished up pumpkin spice and many others to chose from.

Better get my dancing duds on.

Enjoy your day and stay safe

Barb,
Be careful ordering from Walmart. I ordered an item from them but received a cheaper package and they charged the higher price. They are hard to contact in regard to mistakes. They put the "error" off on their Vendor. The Vendor (not possible to talk to directly) stated they sent what was ordered. No resolution was made. I will no longer order from Walmart.
It's the WINDMILLS
