Good morning !

I hope everyone had a good Christmas. The boys were in heavan, gift-wise. I never seem to be able to get my gifts right when it comes to my daughter, but oh well.

DD may be sick. I am soon on my way upstairs to check.

Happy Day After Christmas everyone !

Yep Em is not feeling well..good thing we are here to help out.

Good morning. I am so sorry you are sick, Sunny. I hope for a quick recovery for you and yours.
I am glad you are there to help out too, Carol. Careful that you don;t fall ill as well.
Happy Boxing day. I think of this as the day to rid yourself of what you don't need (or love) and sending it on to others. And leftovers to eat. Which means I don't move much.
I hope everyone has a lovely Tuesday.

OMG ! Yes it is Tuesday ! I forgot all about Ceramics !

We will be leaving here tomorrow heading towards home.

Sweet Dreams to you all.

I'm back !..Facebook messed up when I was trying to tell James &Tina who the people were in the memory/photo that popped up in my news feed......big fiasco..I'll explain it when I get home to my laptop !

Sweet dreams and safe travels, Carol.

Back once again. Well F/B straightened out the issue they had. So I posted who the photo was of....bless the 2 of you for commenting.

Hi all. I gave in and spent the day at the hospital yesterday waiting to see a doctor. Who told me that it is just a virus with sinusitis and gave me nasal spray. I guess the sore throat/ears, body aches, fevers, cough and phlegm didn't need treatment....then to top it all of, when I was leaving he said that if I got worse to go back in two days to see a doctor again.

I better get better soon...my roof needs to be shoveled.

Sorry to be such a complainer but I am so sick that is it discouraging.

I am sorry, Sunny. We all need someone to listen with sympathy sometimes. And you have mine. Get well soon.
Good morning. I am up. It is so hard to think of it as the middle of the week. I am stuck somewhere in last week and running my son to the bathroom. I'll catch up. Happy Wednesday all.

O H my it sounds as if things are bad in Canada as well as in California. I am so sorry for you both. And yes, we all need someone to complain to from time to time. I am here to use as a sounding board well. I hope everyone is better soon !

We are half the way home. The motel Rod found online is simple but nice and clean....BUT what I am not going to be able to handle is the noise from the 4 lane highway just outside.

Sweet dreams all. I am heading to bed in a bit.
Safe travels tomorrow, Carol.

I hope Teddy is better this a.m. How are you feeling Tina?

I still feel like cr@p but the days must go on. We are in an extreme cold snap. DH was at work yesterday and came across people in vehicles stranded. Cars can only take so much cold then they shut down from fuel lines freezing. People really need to heed the 'emergency travel only' warnings. We usually get hit with this arctic air in February not December.

Safe travels from me as well Junie...I hope all were able to get sleep.

I've seen your extreme cold on my local news, Sunny. Stay safe!
Good morning. I have no specific plans for my day. But enjoying the warmth of the day will be high on my list. Am feeling sorry for so many across for country with the cold they are having.
I hope everyone has a nice Thursday.

Yes Tina...today is a day to be grateful for my wood heat. Even with it, it is hard to keep the house warm.

I got the house cleaned and mopped. I feel done in...I'll be glad when these fevers break.

golly yes the cold...and it was only 19 on the interstate coming home--I cannot imagine what you are going thru, Sunny. and speaking of you..STOP working..the mopping can be done when you are well !!!~Wood heat---it is surely wonderful...I too am glad that you have it. I stil miss mine, 13 years later.

Tina: how is everyone in your house doing..I am wondering also.

I am off to help my DH with a project...really can that man not rest for 1 day ????

Seems like everyone feels bad. Sorry about that. Hope everyone heals up quickly. We had a nice Christmas and now we have a cold snap too. Nothing like what a few of you have but cold to us. :) Think I'll take down the tree tomorrow.

Teddy and I are much better now. I still have cleaning to do.
Stay warm Sheri.
Sweet dreams all.

Good morning ! "Someone woke me this morning. I do hope that does not become a habit.

I see I did not come in and say goodnight last night. I apologize for that. I guess I was more tired than I realzed.

Sheri, sorry for your cold snap. I do hope for your sake that is all it is. The tree. We leave ours up until after epiphany. But I seem to have trouble plugging In the lights after Christmas.

Tina, I am happy to hear that you and Teddy are on the mend.

I am headed off to get a cup of coffee. I wish everyone a wonderful day.

I had to check my C to F converter...the coldest day we had was minus -34* F so far. I have not been out in days. It is slowly getting better as am I...I have to head out tomorrow to the local grocer to pick up a few things whether I like it or not.

Does anyone have any plans for New Years?

Be safe, Sunny. Wow ! That is cold !

Our New Year plans. We never get to go anywhere. So I have learned to get snacks for myself & celebrate by myself. DH will go to bed very early as is usual.

I don't do anything special on New Year's Eve.
Good morning. I slept very badly last night. I will be napping today. Lots of napping.
I hope everyone has a fantastic last Friday of 2017

Thanks Tina. As soon as my battery for the laptop charges I have to make a Run to the grocery store. We are supposed to have ice tonight.

Keep warm everyone !

We don't do anything for New Year's either.

GG was complaining she felt yucky, so I went for the few groceries today since the pharmacy is closed for the next four days.(They close every Sat. and Sun. plus two days for holidays). I picked up extra Advil and cold meds for her just in case. We just got home and she is now running a fever at the moment....and it begins again.

Our local grocery store just put in a rotisserie for chickens. I picked up one to try for our supper. It is going to be a great convenience to be able to buy a pre-cooked chicken.

ah yes, I LOVE rotisserie chicken !! It is a great convenience plus it is very yummy. AND IF there are left overs you can cook with it.
The bones could even be the base for a SMALL pot of soup..well with a few random pieces of uncooked chicken
Good thinking about the groceries & drugs for GG. sounds like you will be glad you did.

WE will have chef salads tonight. Eggs are becoming hard boiled as i type. :)

Oh, I am sorry your GG is getting sick again. Hold your breathe and wash your hands a lot!

what Tina said.......

I have an attack of the nerves, but I guess I will soon go to bed. sweet dreams to you all.

Sweet dreams

I can't even imagine -34° F. How can a person get warm in that weather?

I'd probably curl up as close to my wood burner stove as I could get and dream of summer.

Sweet dreams all. I hope tomorrow finds you better, Carol.

Tina, I bought a spray can of Lysol....I am going to spray everything I can.

Sheri, I think the coldest we have ever seen here is minus -45*F. That is deadly cold....people had their septic tanks and water lines from their wells freeze that time. Thankfully we only get a day or two of that.

Junie, the chicken was delicious. I am using the leftovers to throw in a cold pasta salad. GG has declared that all shopping trips have to include a 'chicken run'

GG just has a mild fever with a little cough...I hope that it doesn't progress anymore. My grandson called yesterday because he needed to talk to Grammie. My voice is so raspy that he argued that I wasn't Grammie and to put his 'Gammie' on the phone

Oh, that's funny and sad. I hope you convinced him and he was good with that, Sunny.
Good morning. Temps have fallen off today. That's ok. I can't expect it to be warm every day. But I can wish.
I hope all have a good Saturday.

Good late morning. It is like 16*F outside here today. and sadly that is a lot warmer than it was last evening & night.

Glad the chicken was good--(I knew it would be) Poor GB. I too hope you were able to make him understand it was really you.

How is everyone at your house, Tina ??

Sheri: has it warmed up any for your area yet ???

I often wonder what the birds do for warmth. I am making sure that there is plenty of seed & such out for them but still, I wonder where they go for to roost.

(time here is 5:19 pm central) it is 11*F now----and wind chill is between -2 to -11. they will go lower tonight.

Brrr...

Why yes, Tina it is cold. The outside temp is now 6*F. And yes, I know it is not -34...But I am still cold...

When I think of how cold your temps are, I realize how drafty my house is. And that I should do something about it.

Yes but you are lucky that you do not have to worry about such cold ! And I seem to remember that you have lived in such cold, so I am happy for you that you are now in a warned climate.u

Note at 10:54 pm

I will now say goodnight. I am soon on my way to sleep. Sweet Dreams to you all.

Yes, I spent about 6 winters in the northeast. Saw lots of weather. But I choose not to put up with it any more.
Sweet dreams all.

Good morning. Another cold, windy day ahead....and I get to stay inside

I have to make a Walmart/errand run this week though, I hope the weather cooperates.

Good morning everyone. My DH just informed me that it is 4*F outside. Sad part is, I guess we are going to go to Church anyway. I hope I can find some warm clothes.

Keep warm everyone.

Good morning. I am up and ready for my day. It is going to be cooler than it has been the last couple of days. Today I am gathering more trash for the dumpster. And cleaning out a fridge or two.
I hope everyone enjoys the last day of 2017.
