SUB-ZERO SUNDAY
Posted: Sun Dec 13, 2009 8:05 amGOOD MORNING!
It's our first below-zero day since last winter here, and Molly's feet said it was COLD out there! Right now it's about 5 below zero F. It looks as if the sun might show today, however, which should warm it up enough to ski by about noon, or so. I got a quick ski run yesterday before the hefty winds returned, and it felt good, if not a bit unsteady, to be gliding over the white stuff again!
A friend of mine came over for supper and we played some Rummikube, so I am sorry I missed the chatroom last night. Other than that, my Saturday was quiet and spent cleaning and washing bedding for the kids when they get here.
It was so good to hear from Kathleen, and know that she was greeted by Liz, helped to get set up, and was at last at her destination for the winter. That picture Liz took was the first time I have seen Kath's rig up close----it's HUGE!!!!! No wonder it took you a few days to get there, as it must be like being back at your bus-driving job! Holy Cow----I had no clue that thing is so big! Beautiful, but HUGE! CONGRATULATIONS on your first long solo voyage! Can't wait for some more pics!
I hope everybody else is having decent weather---although I see that southern CA is having nasty snow and ice storms mingled with mudslides and rockslides. THAT is NOT nice at all. I hope those of you in that area will hole up and wait for better weather.
Guess I'll sort through sweaters and warm clothing today, trying to eliminate some winter togs that haven't been worn in years----like snomobile suits and worn-out boots, etc. I will also add some holiday decorations to the inside of the house. And, of course, bring in the firewood----I didn't do that yesterday, so today I have double duty with that lifting, lugging, and placing in the log rack in here. That is my gym date for the day----cheap tuition, and I can spend as much time at it as I want to!
I think it just got darker as I am typing---where is that sun? Maybe I should ski right now before the winds come up. Molly might have to put on her hiking boots, which she HATES! Or, I could take a loop by myself and she will howl and screech all the while I am out there, especially if she sees my skis, hat, and mittens!
Happy Sunday to us all.
