SHIRLEY, I'll be talking to you! 

Good morning..

Well, my dance partner wants to continue today..there is snow falling on top of the 3 inches that fell during the night. So much for a day of rest..
I guess I should be thankful that I can deal with it and it is not freezing rain.

Supper will be a bbq chicken from Costco ,caulifower with cheese sauce and salad. That much is thought of but not the dessert? Maybe a pineapple upside down cake with a scoop of ice cream...will see how it goes with the dance if the dessert is made.

Shirley, dig your heels in  and get a Dr that will listen to you! Giving in or up is not an option. I am told Jane gives good hugs......just ask my son!!

Jane, now you have me really wanting to try the crasins, I am going to tell Bri and my friend about using them instead of raisins.

Better get my dance duds on..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

While our Ballerina is performing I will sit here with my cup of coffee and offer some mental support for the performance.

Good morning to all. Hope today is as nice as yesterday was. So calm and sunny in the morning that I could sit on my small front porch and soak up some sun - but cloudy later in the day.

Rick, thank you for the chuckle..grinning here. I got your mental support that said wait till later....do it once not twice! Works for me and the snow is still coning down a little heavier than before.

I give up... have typed 3 different posts & before I click to post they disappear. Most important was I JUST SAW A ROBIN AND LOOKED AGAIN AND SEE MORE THAN HALF A DOZEN OF THEM. No way to tell if they lost their way going south or if crazy enough to believe winter is over.  Gotta get the camera out, nobody will believe me!  Chill index is below zero so they will be awful cold and no bugs for sure!  Poor babies..........

From December through January, we've managed with icy surroundings and little to no snow. Several times we've been promised snow, and each time it was a no-show, and the ice and cold continued. Last night was supposed to be three to five inches, and it went somewhere but not here, so the slips and slides continue.

The dance is done, easy to move and all trails are cleaned for the dogs also!!

Patricia....no-show, you mean no-snow I really dislike the slippery conditions. Be careful out there!

Jane, now you have started something. Told Bri about your crasin bread and she told me you can get blueberry and cherry craisins! What a mixture that would be to throw all three into the bread.

Shirley, this is too early for the robins. What will they eat? Do you have mountain ash with berries or crab apple trees around that they will eat?

My feet are going to be put up...

Amy, the snow was a no show!

Now they're telling us this afternoon through Tuesday. The forecast keeps getting pushed back!

It's one of the reasons I've been housebound with my poor balance!

Amy, all the bushes that had berries are gone so I've been Googling to see what else I can put out. Could eat the holly berries but haven't checked to see if any still on it.  I will put out some raisins next time I see it, so it knows I am offering.  I forgot that Rick mentioned playing catch with his robin... with raisins. Hope it/they have a warm spot for tonight, with our wind it is brutal. Had a whole flock of starlings for a while & think the robin may have come with them. Only got ONE photo of the robin in the tree, the starlings were checking out the food on the ground I put out for other critters but robin didn't even come down to check. They all enjoyed the bird bath warmer so will need to fill that big clam shell on the ground again tomorrow.

I plan to go to bed early in hopes of more deep sleep. SO, sweet dreams & God Bless all.

Shirley, here is some information  about feeding the robins.

https://www.thespruce.com/what-do-robins-eat-4176021

Shirley,  there was a big flock of robins around my yard about a week ago. Maybe they've flown to your area.
 I didn't put anything out for them but they were busy pecking around in my yard for several days. I have no idea where they spent the nights.

The past several weeks have been "one thing after another" - mostly pleasant but time consuming. 

Car wouldn't start one afternoon and AAA had to replace the battery. The repairman had the correct battery when he arrived because of the dispatcher asking me details about the make/model/etc. of the car. He was also here within 40 minutes of when I called.

#2 son had his 3rd back surgery to remove all the hardware that had been put in with the previous one because the bones had knit together like they were supposed to. Doctor said a screw on one side of the old set was a bit far out and probably causing the terrific pain down his right leg.  He is now pain free and his recuperation is mainly not lifting, stooping, reaching, etc. because of the incision.
I made three casseroles and two desserts for them.  Discovered that the cartons for the Bob Evans mashed potatoes are a perfect size for that sort of thing.  Plus -- they're microwave safe and can go in the top rack of the dishwasher.  I'll begin saving them for such occasions.

My church furnishes two apartments at a home for abused women/children and, when they are able to be on their own they get to take everything with them.  The January mission project was to furnish supplies for these apartments.  I notified sons and the parents of The Grands brought over three big boxes of household items from the Grands having moved into their own places.  I had a complete set of bedding for twin beds I no longer have - so we made quite a haul to the church one afternoon.

Miss Emily invited me to go with her/her mother to shop for bridal gowns. I didn't realize there were so many styles! 3+ hours in two shops about wore me out but it was fun.

Also had a nice visit from Sir Carson and his girlfriend.  I had met her at family gatherings but this was the first time I'd had a chance to visit with her individually. She's a neat gal and we all hope this leads into something permanent.  She has moved to Texas with him and is working at a branch of the company she worked for here.  Guess I made a good impression because shortly after they left she "invited" me to become her friend on Facebook.  Of course, I accepted. 

And that's what's going on in my world. Stay warm, stay safe and Enjoy your Days, Everyfriend.



 

I loved all the postings!  CALLIE, lots going on in your neck of the woods!  You do have an active family.  And it was so nice of them to take you wedding dress shopping!  What fun that must have been!

AMY, thank you for keeping the snow on your side of the border.  And thank you for the idea for my next bread baking.  I gave Cathy one of the small loaves when she picked me up this morning and she texted me around 2:30 that it was very good but it was all gone! 

PATRICIA, than you for keeping all that ice in Alaska!  I'd find it hard to walk my Great Granddoggie if it decided to come here!

Today wasn't a particularly busy one.  I was doing stuff all day but if you asked me what, I'd be hard-pressed to say exactly what!

Now I'm heading for the haystack!  My eyes are beginning to enter the "clunk shut" stage.  I had to keep them open to watch a movie on TV tonight so they're ready!  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one!

Good morning..

A tad chilly here with the temp at -8° F.  We are off to the city this morning Kyle has a Dr. appointment but we are going to go to Costco for a few things first.

Callie ,although you were busy it sure sounds like a fun time for all!! Happy to read your son is now pain free and may his recuperation go well.

Jane, if I get time today I am going to look for the blueberry,cherry craisins. No more hanging laundry out here till the snow goes down some

Better get my city duds on...

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

I'm up but I'm not sure if I'm ATTEM yet!  I didn't sleep well last night.  I must have been awake 5 or 6 times during the night.  I can't remember when the last time was that I slept all night!

AMY, have a safe trip to the city and back and a good report from the dr.

I'm having my breakfast in front of the computer (Jim's Egg Thingy and coffee)  Cooper was supposed to be here by 7 this morning but they changed Frankie's shift to a later one so she said that she might spend the night here since tomorrow is still an early one!  Sometimes, when she spends the night, I get a bedfellow!  We'll see about that.

It's 39º already this morning an heading for a high of 51.  I think I can take that!  And it means that Cooper will spend a lot of time in the yard!

I wonder what's on my agenda for today!  Have a good day, Everyfriend...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

Hey, Rick, I was trying to remember how to "dump the cache". using duck-duck Google Chrome, what else do I need to tell you?  Can't remember when I did it so not sure if necessary these days, is it?

Been meaning to ask why is says "Show IP address" below Location: Kansas.  How/why is that there?

Hello Everyfriend!  I've been busy again and I don't know what I did all day.  Some stuff got done because I have a basket of clothes to go to the used clothing collection and there's stuff for the recycling and food in the fridge...  I guess I did that stuff.  I don't think Cooper did it and he's the only other one who was here all day!

Frankie is here overnight and will be off to work tomorrow to be there at 7 a.m.  Cathy is picking me up sometime for a trip to Davy's and I have my list ready to go.  So tomorrow will be another day!

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one!

Good morning

Another chilly day -16° out there now. Working around home today but first need to nip into town to pick up sheer pins at the Cub Cadet dealer.

Yesterday was a long day but all went well. I had to really work at staying awake so I could watch Beyond Oak Island and then Oak Island. Both are so intersting and I enjoy watching.

Janie, thank you for safe travels, we had reasonably clear roads, noticed on the way home the highway worked were high winging the snow banks(taking the tops off) so more snow to follow would have a place to go when plowed.

Time to get going.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Oak Island shows here on Tuesdays. So tonight is our turn. My son and I will be on it at 8:00 and 9:00.

Good morning everyone!

We've had no real snow but lots of ice for most of January. This is despite numerous doomsday snow forecasts and warnings of violent clashing storms of highs and low pressures. Through all of this, we had frigid temperatures, clear skies, and perhaps 0.1 inches of snow.

Yesterday was the latest doomsday forecast of a two-day snow of five to seven inches. It did warm up into the plus twenties and gave us cloudy skies to hold the warmth in, but only 0.4 inches of snow.

And February, normally our coldest month is now forecast to remain in the teens and twenties and to snow almost every day. I'm going to be digging out my most arctic gear.

Patricia, we are to get -39 ° on Fri......doesn't that just warm the cockles of your heart! One good thing about it may not get more snow

Rick , I enjoy both shows, another one I watched was about the Bermuda Triangle and what went down in that area. Haven't watch that one in a while, they may have taken it off the air???

Jane, did you have a good time at Davy's?

Amy, it would be about all it warmed!

I spent the day roaming around the internet as it's too icy to roam around town.

Alan and Dora were moved into a recovering patients' house that is attached to the hospital near the patients' family building that Dora was at initially. They probably will not be able to go home so his son is looking into in-town housing while his nephews are making plans along with a local friend to pack, clean, store items, and renovate the property prior to listing it for sale. The animals remain for now at the neighbors and the cats with his son.

Hello!  While Cooper and I were out on our morning walk a large V of geese flew over.  They were going in a Northwest direction.  I wonder if they know something we don't know about the coming weather.?

We have a new baby!  He's healthy and strong and Allison is doing fine!  I think he looks a lot like his brother Mikey when he was born!

The trip to Davy's was good.  I filled in the gaps in the cupboard and fridge and Cathy says she's planning a trip to the Amish grocer on Thursday.  I think I'll go along.  There are some things I need that Davy's doesn't carry...like klenex, paper towels, ice cream ( REALLY NEED that).

Tomorrow is a day off.  Frankie doesn't work so I won't have Cooper.  I think I'll work on the kitchen cupboards.  YUK!  I don't think I'm going to like that job! 

And now, I'm going to head for the haystack!  My eyes have already entered the "clunk shut" stage!  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow and may God bless us, every one.

But before I go to bed I'm going to look up Oak Island.  I don't think I've ever seen it.

On Thursday the groundhog will fill us in.
