Well, PHYLLIS, at least when you cook on the stove, it'll put some "warm" in your house.  And I didn't send you the cold weather.  It's still in the low 20s here!  And as soon as I finish my lunch, Cooper will be ready to take me for a walk in that cold!

Good morning from the Interior at 13 degrees thankfully not a minus. We're at only 63% of our "normal" snowpack with mainly icy roads.

Surprising as it might seem, our warmer weather comes from Siberia and our coldest from Cansda but that has to do with the oceans between Siberia and the distance between them and us. In 2022 and 2021, we had record-breaking snow, breaking new records practically daily.

In 2021, Anchorage snow plows drove north into the Interior with fleets of dump trucks driving the snow before them. That was an epic over 400-mile mountain journey. This year they've had the snowiest winter in seventy years as of November 15th. This year they have a shortage of snow plows while we have ice.

Really got that sense of humor going, Phylliss

Hello! And Good Night!  It's been a long day and I'm tired way down past my toenails!

I made meat loaf and scalloped potatoes and baked beans for supper today and there's lots of leftovers!  If you're hungry, help yourself!  I'm going to bed early and sleeping in tomorrow.  Frankie is off so I won't have Cooper.  Maybe I'll finish my decorations.....and maybe I won't!

I wish you all a peaceful night and a happy tomorrow!  Make your day a good one!

I'll try some of that meat loaf.

Goodnight to all who may pass by.]

Good morning...

Don't think we shall see sun today , it may peek out but clouds are beating it back.
No long drives for me today    Yesterday went well. I swear the Dr's of today hardly seem out of diapers but oh my are they nice. Nothing "stuffy" about them .

Need to get moving ..

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Ok , Miss Jane, where are you?

Good morning, another late day after an even later night. I've done all I'm going to today and it's onto the computer to see how others are faring.

I'm sure it won't last long and some needed reason or chore will pop up, but until it does...

It's a beautiful day in London Ontario: cold but beautiful. I am fortunate enough to live in green  belt area and I get to see a lot of wildlife. A while ago I saw three deer outside my window. Usually there are only two of them, but I guess mama deer decided to treat her children to an exciting outing and brought her whole family along.  I just love watching them cavort and wonder why hunters take such pleasure in killing them.

Hello Everyfriend!  This day turned out to be something I never expected.  I got up a bit later than usual and almost my first text was daughter Cathy (my personal accountant) telling me that she'd had some answers and needed to get on my computer and check out some stuff.  She said she'd be here around 10:30 and when she was finished, we could go do some shopping.  Well, she showed up about 9:15 just as I was coming out of the bedroom after showering and dressin and straightening up the bedroom.  She started asking questions and then sat down in front of my computer and worked on my stuff for about an hour plus.  Then we took off to do some errands. 

On the way to the Amish Store, we stopped and had lunch and after the Amish Store we came home and she did a few accounting things that she hadn't thought of earlier.  When she left, I put away the groceries, read the paper, did the crossword puzzle and then made a batch of "Jim's Egg Thingys" for the next couple weeks breakfasts!  Whew!  They're in the oven finishing up now and then they'll have to be packed and put away and I'll collapse!

RICK, did you like the meat loaf?  AMY, here I am....finally!  PATRICIA, keep on keeping on!  Radioman, I often see deer walking free in the country and I've always wondered why people want to shoot them.  But I must admit, they are good eating and if some didn't get shot, Pennsylvania would be overrun!

I just remembered something else I have to do before the sitting time takes over.  I made a note  Also took the egg thingys out of the oven.  I'll have to pack them up when they're cool!  There's always something!

Something Cathy was doing today, she was asking me questions about changing it and I said how long will it stay changed?  She said "about 15 years".  I just stared at her.  She said "What"?  And I said, "Do you think I'll still be around when I'm 103?"  You'll never guess her answer....she said,
The way you're going, you'll still be around when you're 120 or more!"

I guess I better get the garbage out heat up the meat loaf and scalloped taters for supper.  Then I'm going to QUIT for the day!  Finish off your day well and make tomorrow special!

Someone got to the meatloaf before I did and ate it all.

a\AWWWWWW!!!!

Good evening to ALL.

NOT a lot to tell from here other than I had my pre-op with my surgeon and I have been cleared for my ACDF, anterior cervical discectomy and fusion... surgery on 12/6/2023.

I made a very tasty Turkey Noodle soup from the carcass  of our delicious TG Turkey.  I shared some with one of our neighbors and she was so complimentary .  Sure made me feel good. 

Today is my Birthday and I have received so many nice wishes  from friends and family.  Bob took me to one of my favorite places for dinner.  Pappadeaux.  We had a delightful waiter and it was extra nice. 

Saturday we will go to our #3 sons for our Jonah's 5th Birthday Party.  After the kiddos all leave we will celebrate my birthday.  On Sunday we are going to The Nutcracker Ballet and out for another Birthday celebration with Dr. Dave and his new bride and their children.  Looking forward to that.

Miss keeping up with EVERYFRIEND but I will try to do better soon.   Sitting and trying  on this iPad is very uncomfortable for my neck, and it will remain to be seen how I will be able to do it after my surgery and the HARD neck brace I will have to wear for four weeks before I transition into a soft one for 4 more weeks.

Trying to get our home decorated before my surgery.  Seems it is going rather slowly....but we will finish tomorrow.

Good night and HAPPY DECEMBER to ALL‼️ Good evening to ALL.

    Let's make a new start HERE
