Hi, Barb! So good to see you up and about in your kitchen! And Good morning to everybody else!

It's 19 degrees here this morning, and snowing! YIPPEE!!!! After almost 50 degree temps yesterday and rain all day, the snow and cold are VERY welcome! I still have a very good base of frozen snow now on the ground...perhaps about 4 or more inches, despite all the rain that fell on it yesterday. Time for me to get dressed, feed the 4-footers, scoop cat litter, start truck to warm it up, and head out.

Thanks for the coffee and goodies, Barb! And especially the recap!

Happy Tuesday to us all.

Oooooohhh,...coffee,. i need coffeeeeeee,.... thanks Zeee, nobody does it better!

Wind blue like blew blazes here last night. I heard some cracking outdoors,... wonder if a tree came down. Nothing is close enough to the house to do damage so i didn't worry. other than that, what will be will be. Geeeee... if i can't get out my driveway because of a fallen tree, i'll just have to take a day off from work! :lol:

I'm out of the shower, Middy's been fed, and i've had my cereal and toast, and o.j. and pills,... can't forget the pills!

keeps me running for another day.

so i'll wander throught he forum here and then head out to ... work? hee hee... maybe only the driveway,.. can you tell i'm hoping there really IS a tree down? :lol:

Well Goooooood Morning Sistahs!!!

I'm late getting on here this morning. By goodness I took a long hot shower. Ohhhh I'm clean! LOL Hairs brushed, teeth are brushed, I'm dressed, swilling on more coffee and I do believe I will get into those blueberry muffins. MmmmmMMmmmMmm I love blueberrt muffins. I have also taken the garbage out and from the sounds of it out there I got it out just in time.

Love the artwork Barbz. Our tree is decorated in blue, white and silver. But the tree is green. I did see a couple of trees at WalMart a couple of weeks ago that I thought were really neat. One was a little short, maybe 4', black and prelit, the other one was a topiary tree that was prelit. I know it sounds funny but they were really sharpe. The topiary one would be super in a small space and the black one was just so different. I was telling the woman at work who sits next to me and she gave me one of those looks like I was either off my rocker or a freak! HA She saw one at the Wally World near her house then told me she thought it was really sharpe.

I'm not so nuts after all. LOL

Went to bed right after my last post last night and slept until 5:15 this morning. Well except for a potty run about 1am. hehehe But I'll tell ya if it wasn't for having to get up for work and all I would have went crawling back under those blankets and back to sleep. I feel better and more awake than I did this morning and for sure I'm more awake than I was yesterday morning. Good grief I was tired. The other women and i were talking about it at work yesterday because they couldn't understand why they have been so tired. But for ? 2 months now we have been putting in extra overtime. Cause we started it the end of October and it has only gotten worse. So yeah between the overtime and trying to keep up with the rest of life ya get freaking tired. Even the younger girls are complaining. Right now the idea of all the overtime and being a single Mom with little ones?? No way, I know that the girls are younger but dang I sure wouldn't want to try and do all that.

Well Kelly is showered and getting dressed. It's 7:10 and in five minutes it's out the door. Dang I haven't had my comic fix yet!!!

Hope everyone has a great day and stays safe.

Love to all

Wow....cute artwork and such details this morning in the re-cap, Zeee...

!!! Can't wait to get over and check it all out.....

Now I know others are having colder temps than us, but 40F at 6AM is cold for the Gulf Coast!!! That's what the temp was when I got up today.....good thing we had the heat on.....Weather Bug states it's not going to get much warmer....High of 45F...according to them...

But the rest of the week looks promising....

Am shopping for Ernie's gifts today.....then I'm really done.....

Finished hats and booties for the new babies to send with the blankets.....now, maybe I can get back to my counted cross-stitch.....

Okay, am out of here for now...You all have a great day...and thanks for the coffee and muffins, Barb..........

Morning all...Great news -- we have water flowing again. A heater in the water bay did the trick, in fact it got too warm in there so we switched back to a drop light as our outdoor temp rose above zero! Today we'll actually come up near freezing but not quite.

It's still cold though and the forecast is for cold (below freezing) temps will remain for at least a week longer. I see the tree branches moving a bit so that means winds are around, will make it colder.

The poor wild turkeys are in the barnyard with thier heads tucked under thier wings and standing on one leg, garsh that's an odd site! So, I guess I'll pause one moment and go toss out some grain for them.

Zee's mention of covered wagons reminds me -- my family actually came here in the late 1800's in wagons. My great-grand father homesteaded this place in 1876, about 8 -10 years after it was a stage station on the old Sidney (NE) to Deadwood (SD) trail. The trail was really only in operation for about 4 years. Once the railroad came in many of the old trails weren't as active.

The weather channel shows snow to the west and south of us but here we have clear skies, at least for now.

More great news...I'm about done with Christmas shopping. We kept things small and simple this year. We all just decided we had too much and aren't going out for luxury goods just consumables! When people asked us what we needed we said -- "Nothing we are full. If we get more stuff we'll have to toss something else out the door!"

Well, I've not had my pills or eaten so I'd better get off here and on to something else.
Have a good day.

Good Morning !
It's cold here today !!! Not sure of the temp, but the water hose froze last night so pretty soon I'll have to go out and deal with that - I left a faucet dripping last night and the hose is all wrapped up but guess that wasn't enough. I have a couple of gallon jugs of water so I can flush and wipes for my hands so no biggie for right now. I think I'll just disconnect the hose tonight and hook it up when I get up in the morning - seems like the easier way to do things.
Not sure what's on the agenda today - I know Molly needs to get out for a long walk - it was too cold for her yesterday, she just didn't want to stay out. The wind isn't blowing as hard today so I think I can talk her into a nice long walk, maybe at the beach

Other then thawing the hose and walking the dog, no real plans for today.
I hope all of you in the horrible cold stay warm and safe !!!
Enjoy your day

Good to see you woke up singing this morning, Barbzeee. It's going to be a beautiful day here in FL. That snow scene looks like it came from Nasoosie's place...I think I can see her cross-country skiing in the background.

I had my annual termite inspection this a.m. (or at least the house did :lol:

), did a little exercise, and hope I can muster up energy for some yardwork today.

We can surely have the FL gtg at Silver River State Park, if everyone is agreeable. I'll post their website in the GTG thread so you can have a look and let us know. Then we'll work on setting a date.

Soisew, I'm glad to hear you got that water thawed out...frozen pipes are no fun, and hauling water is even less fun. Thanks for feeding those poor wild turkeys. They'll love you for it.

So, Cedar, got my fingers crossed about that tree down in your driveway! :lol:

Have a blessed day everybody.

Posted: **Tue Dec 16, 2008 10:56 am**

Well,.... crossing fingers didn't work. No tree across the driveway.

I guess what i was hearing last evening was something deeper in the woods. Oh well, i'm here at work and as always being with these high school kids makes for a great day!
