We've had an atmospheric river come through yesterday and today (formerly known as a pineapple express which I prefer) So I am nicely wet.
Sweet dreams all.

It's going to be 73° here tomorrow. Petunias are blooming in my yard. Speaking of which I need to do some yard work. Junie, can you put grocery shopping off a day? And Sunny you just need to stay home until the ice melts.

Well I would put it off Sheri, but see I was going to grocery shop Tuesday, but it rained in the morning..then same on Wednesday, .then today the same thing. It is tomorrow no matter what the weather.
Good news is I found out my daughter only has a half day of school tomorrow, so I will be free after say 1..
( we usually have to go pick up the kids from school and then I make.sure their homework is done.) That is why no going shopping in the afternoon.
I need the groceries tomorrow as Saturday we are all going to my Nieces house in St. Charles, MO. I am taking a cheeseball, and I need to buy the ingredients. And then a few things so I can maybe make some cookies.

I am jealous of Bestofour's petunias.
It is mild today, over 36*F, the ice is melting already...thankfully since I got a call yesterday to take GG for her first vaccine at 3:30 pm. The pharmacy is right across from her school.
Junie, can you pick me up a turkey while you are out...they are $6 a pound here. I refuse to spend that much money.

Sure I will get you a turkey, Sunny. Is a 20 pounder ok ??? I think we are all jealous of Sheri's flowers. It must be wonderful to live where she does. Coffee is ready. TTY all later.

I am in the process of trying to get a deal on cable, internet and phone as a bundle(as my promotion ends tomorrow)....I'd be better off if I knew anything about technology first. I am at a loss on what they are explaining to me.

Isn't that the truth. I think the companies count on that being the case. Hopefully you can change up in a year if you need to.

I got the same plan that DD has...it is cheaper than my old plan and only has me locked in for a year. They are sending me a new modem and cable box this week to change it myself, that should be fun...not. GG had no reaction at all to her vaccine.  It has been over 24 hrs since.

Good about GG and the vaccine.
I turned off Johnny's cell phone last week and it only saved me $20.00 a month on my bill. I don't understand that at all.

Bestofour, the tech companies do what they please. We have only one service provider here for cable. We all have the same set up yet none of us pay the same amount. We all have different contracts. I hope Junie is having fun at her family gathering.

Wow,.2-1/2 hours in one direction..that is quite the drive, Sheri.
Still I am glad that you got to see her, especially this close to Christmas.
That is just wrong about your cable bill, Sunny. I am so sorry for that.
Junie had a fantabulous time visiting with her family..and her momma..AND I got to go eat lunch an one of my favorite restaurants when I lived in Illinois. It was a glorious 2 days. Thanks for the well wishes, Sunny. I am glad that your GG has had no reaction to her shot.

I am glad that your trip was a wonderful one Junie. Bestofour, how is your mom doing? Driving wears me out as well, although I should be used to it....it takes me an hour one way just to go to Walmart or such. The colder weather is setting in, I can see a snowstorm on its way sooner than later.

Yes, it is our decision what we wear but telling us to wear N95's to prevent infection is not going to work. They are $10 a piece, who is going to wear it and throw it away? People will buy a few and wear them being full of germs all the time. I see it with people out and about as it is, they wear those hospital paper masks and they are filthy. And anything you buy cheaply online is not going to be a real N95. We are getting a major snow storm today...they are calling for at least 16 inches of snow between this afternoon and the morning.

I wouldn't have to worry about a mask in your area Sunny because with your weather I'd never go outside. I can't drive in your kind of weather.
My mother is doing as well as can be expected. I think I'm taking my step dad to see her tomorrow. I dread it because he talks nonstop.
Thank you for the card Junie.

I could rarely drive where Sunny lives either.
I guess if we grew up there could drive in Sunny's weather, though.

Yes girls, if you grew up here...you'd gradually learn to drive in this weather. It just becomes 'second nature'. Mind you, a lot of people here will not drive much in Winter but emergencies do happen and have proved to me that I can drive in anything.
We got about 16 inches of snow in this storm and the winds have started. I have to go out in a bit and clean a path for DH to get home for lunch and a quick rest before going back in for the rest of the day. The kids played themselves out last night, it is 8:30 a.m. and they are still sleeping. I have to get them up, make breakfast then head out to deal with the snow.
They delivered my parcel to the local post office, the roads were so bad that the delivery trucks couldn't deliver the parcels. My cable/internet set up only changes at the end of the month so it can sit there for a week if need be.

Wow, 16 in his a of snow..that is a lot..I am so glad that you can drive in it.
I was hoping that you would get all of your equipment before the snow storms began.
I hope it can be installed sooner rather than later.

Yes,.I agree it is a nice temperature. But like I said, going from warm to cold is not a good thing. Sorry for the horrid weather there. That is just NOT right.
Kids are home now...and I am recovering from going non,-stop all day.
Merry Christmas Eve to you all.

We are having spring weather. I saw 2 bluebirds today. Very unusual for this time of year. It's spring here for at least the next 10 days.

bluebirds are so beautiful, enjoy your nice weather Bestofour. It is cold here but nice enough to bundle the kids for sliding. They were outside for two hours yesterday, those 'crazy carpets' make for some fun rides.

Ah good for your grands, Sunny. Sounds like they had a fun time. Cold and snow shoukd be of some benefit, after all.
Colder, more towards what it should be this time if year, and sorta damp today. There will be a chance of rain all day.

Good Morning please pick up some fruit for me, Sunny. Whatever looks good will work. It all looks good but the $$$ are crazy....I only got a few apples and some bananas. They'd rather the fruit decay in the store than sell it at prices one can afford. Covid is spreading faster than ever before here....it's just a matter of when we catch it not 'if'. I am back to double masking and wiping down groceries. DH is 'rapid' tested every morning with his work crew before they are allowed into the main work building. I am glad of that.

Sorry for the cost of fruit..and other things I bet. Here as an example many foods have doubled in price.
So glad that your DH is tested often. That must make you both rest easier.

Everything fresh is expensive Tina. It is $8 for a 10 pound bag of potatoes, turnip and carrots are $2 a pound. apples are $4 a pound, bananas are the cheapest at $1.29 a pound....and that is the affordable things. It is $8 a pound for fresh berries, oranges are $1 a piece, a small lettuce is $5. We now pay $8 for a gallon of milk and fresh eggs are $5 a dozen. Chickens and pork are $4 a pound(on sale), turkeys are $6, ground beef is $4-5 a pound....I shop so strictly that it is sad to think about. I budget everything right down to the dollar, it is a good thing that I cook all our meals....I don't know how people can afford take out and frozen meals.

My.prices are high, but thankfully not that high....yet. Gas has been down to $2.99 for awhile, but is predicted to go up to $4.00 a gallon by Memorial day.in May. Then of course all else will go up as well. I think we are going to start having 2 meatless meals a week instead of one..but then there will still be eggs & cheese to buy. ( I make salads with them in it)
My DH was.just saying that about people eating out here just yesterday. And I want to know where they eat. There is 3 places in Scott city, ( 2 are fast food and the actual restaurant closes at 3 in the afternoon) none here in Kelso, one small coffee shop in a town 7 miles away and few Fast Food in the larger town to the North. We have/had a lot more mom & pop restaurants back home in IL. But I too cook at home.

Gas is $6 a gallon here already. They just announced school is closed until January 21st at the least....and probably longer due to the high omicron cases. Online school starts next week once again.

Sorry for the cost of gas...but at least Carey is still working. This being retired and on Medicare is for the 🐦.
They raised our Medicare checks by 5% for next year. And yet inflation is well past that amount. But I guess some money is better than no money.

I remember when we went out to McDonalds when I was little. About once a year. The burgers were ten cents each. I got a choice of fries or a shake. We couldn't afford both. I guess fast food has rea;;y jumped in price around here too. I haven't been for a couple of years. I have ordered a couple from Uber eats but $50 is too much to spend on a meal for three. It seems to lose flavor the more expensive it is.
We no longer eat much meat here. Every couple of weeks I'll have T pick up a little something. And then it's the making of several meals.

I could do without eating meat but not DH.

If it were just me, I would make soups for most meals..they would have meat in them, but a smaller amount of meat is needed for soup. But Like in Sunny's house My DH wants his meat..the good thing is He does not eat as much since he retired. I still buy meat by what a meal would cost me. And we eat leftovers.i

I haven't put gas in my car since 2019. I did buy two 5 gal. containers last month when a neighbor was going out. But they are still here. T need to get them into my tank. 2020 was an odd year followed by 2021 anther odd year. I was looking forward to the new year until I realized it was called 2020 too.
Happy New Year my friends!

No matter the weather, there will be foot prints of some kind through our houses. DH just left snowy ones all through the entrance when he came home for his lunch break.
The few inches of snow is turning into many, many inches....it is a mess out there. It is a good day to stay inside and do some baking.

I tried to get on here last night but couldn't...thought I might have blown the forum up again. Just got out of the hospital awhile ago. People are dying of Covid right in the ER. It's a sad place. I made them discharge me, I couldn't handle it there. I don't have Covid. I have pneumonia and severe dehydration. There are others sicker than me who need my bed. There are no beds empty at the hospital.
Sad, sad, sad.

I understand your worry. I don't think I would be able to make myself stay in a hospital either. So glad that you do not have Covid, Cindy.
Also glad to see you here.

Happy New Year to us all!!
Our temps have been so warm that everything is budding again but it has been raining almost nonstop for days and there's a 90% chance of rain tomorrow.

I hope you are better soon Cindy. The hospitals everywhere are in such turmoil...it is scary.
I am going to open a new coffeehouse.
