Wow! That is a lot of snow. Keep safe, Sunny.
Good morning.
We are to get rain Fri through Tues. It is cooling down in preparation for it now. But it is not supposed to be overwhelming for us. Except for those on the coast. It may cause more damage up north. But they got the spillway repaired and people can go home. Just be ready to evacuate again if called on.
I hope everyone has a great day.

Thanks for letting us know the spillway has been repaired.

The news here was quick to let us know that there was a major problem and that evacuations were being conducted, but have they said all was repaired & people were going back home ?? nope--not that I have heard.

Going back to do cleaning..TTYAL Have a great day !!

The temps are going down here. The rains will come tomorrow night, I think. Then rain hard for a couple days and lightly the next couple of days. Then I'm going to send it all off east.
Sweet dreams all.

We were lucky to get a thaw last month...it decayed the snow quite a bit. The Southern part of the province seems to be getting the worst of it this month. They had to rescue 75 stranded cars on the highways there yesterday.

A small storm for tonight for us....I have no plans for travel for a few days. I need to go look for a rangehood Saturday. DH won this battle lol

I am proud on how you deal with your weather, Sunny.

Sorry you lost the battle...but hey, there will be others.

It is going to be in the 60's today--I hope it holds for the weekend.

Today I have more errands to run in the morning hours & then a meeting for my MIL at her Home in the afternoon.

I wish everyone a great & safe day.

Good morning.
I'm going out this morning. Mostly to fill my car and get bread. If I don't get out for a few days, Teddy and I can survive on bananas, toast and eggs for a long time. Along with my other staples and freezer supplies. It's all good.
I hope everyone has a great day.

All that snow would make me claustrophobic. How in the world will it ever all melt? GG is tall. I imagine her a little girl. It's 49° here but so windy it seems like it's freezing outside. My plan was to do some yard work but I can't stand the wind.

ToDeTa is driving me crazy. Might have mentioned she has hurt her neck and she is NOT a good patient. I feel sorry for her because I know she doesn't understand not to turn her neck that way. If this lasts much longer I'm going to discuss the humane thing to do with Johnny. He will not like it and won't do it but it's not fair for her to be in pain although she is eating and drinking normally.

If she's eating and drinking normally, she will eventually learn to baby her neck a little. Give her more time, Sheri.

Back from my errands and my meeting.

Now to wrap my gifts for the girls and then Tomorrow I will be packing for the trip.

It is simply beautiful outside this afternoon. Sunny and warm-ish. It is definitely MY idea of what winter should be !!!

Great--Rod is ill and I am afraid he is sharing....This has got to stop.

It looks like I will NOT be going to the Birthday party. Even if I Can find some relative to go to the party proper, I KNOW I will not be staying the weekend & getting to go to the Church service for the girls.

Thanks for letting me complain......I am soon off to bed. Sweet Dreams

Hi all.

Sheri, GG is only 6..she is tall for her age.

It stormed last night so today there is clean up and a few windows to shovel out.

I am so sorry Junie, this is certainly not the time to get sick. If you are not sick...is there a bus or train that you could take to get there?

Are the rains slowing down Tina?

Good morning. The rains have not yet begun.
The day of nasty storms is here. But the storms are not yet. My news comes out of LA. And they are to get the worst of this, I think. But I will wait and see. They are describing a hurricane.

No bus or train...I would go today if there were...(so as to not make anyone come & get me when they will be so busy on Saturday morning.) I looked back when they first moved there..there is a buss service in Edwardsville (town 20 minutes away) but apparently they do not go there.
I have a ride with my sister...so at least I will get to go to the party on Saturday.

GG certainly is tall for her age.

Sorry for the bad weather, Tina. Hurricane, you say--oh I so hope they are mistaken.

Junie, if you leave really early can you get yourself there? I hate for you to miss it.

Sunny, I guess it's the angle of the picture that she looks so grown. I thought she was around 6 but then I thought I was crazy (no comments please).

Tina, hoping for no hurricane but hoping you get rain - not a storm - just rain.

Darbi didn't end up staying at school today. She rides with a friend and when they got there a lot of police cars were already in the parking lot and she heard that a few students had been arrested for threatening to "shoot up" the school so she text her mother who picked her up. According to Darbi the ring leader student was suspended Wednesday but was supposed to return today. And this is just student hearsay, Darbi said he was suspended for making that threat. I'm pretty sure if that was what the suspension was for that it would have been longer than for 2 days though. So I don't know what's really going on but a friend let Shelley know that by 8:30 there were so many police cars at the school that even the buses couldn't get into the parking lot. Glad Darbi is at home.

I am glad that Darbi is home as well. In this day & age, better to safe.....

Sheri, There is about a 10 mile stretch of 4 or 5 lanes in one direction when going down to see my DD. I do not do that kind of roads....so no I will not be going by myself.
BUT the good news is my DD says that a cold is nothing to worry about and that we should come ahead & stay. I am hoping that Rod agrees.

Good Junie. Hope Rod will agree too.

Been thinking about going out to work in the yard all day. Almost 4:00 and haven't done it yet. Lazy.

I have just spent all afternoon at my MIL's trying to calm her down b/c they need to move her and no one thought to actually explain it to her---just came in & began moving stuff & saying you have an infection, so she was really ticked to say the least. I finally got her calmed down to some point.

I hope that Rodney agrees as well....tomorrow will be another day so I hope he is feeling just that much better.

Off to find something to make for supper now--TTYAL

yes, and I know what she is saying is so as
1) I used to work there and I know how some people were...and
2) I was in a nursing home for my rehab with the last thigh repair & they even treated me like I had no idea what was going on..
and they knew I was just there for rehab..and that my mind was fine.

Sweet Dreams. wavy
