U.P. Monday
Posted: Mon Dec 10, 2012 8:30 amGood Morning everyone,
Where's everybody this morning? Al sleeping in probably. Getting worn out from those pre Christmas doings and shopping and so forth, or maybe some of you are digging out from under a pile of snow. I know Barbie really got clobbered over in MN. Here we als got some, but not that much, judging from what I can see out my winder, I would say maybe an inch. Haven't been out for our morning walk yet so don't really know.
But it is cold here. Not so much temp wise as it's in the mid 20's, but it's a differnt type cold. Deep, sharp and dry. This area is in the Huron Mt. range area, high elevation for this part of MI and also under the influence of Lake Superior. The cold is born of the expanse of the big lake, plus the fact of the elevation, highest point in MI at over 1,400 feet is just about 25-30 miles by way the crow flies from here and miles and miles of cliffs, rock and rugged terrain. All holding in that cold. Invigorating though.
Hard to believe this is day 3 already . Been busy the past couple of days with getting up here, unpacking, organizing, doing some shopping, out walking etc. Haven't decorated as yet but do have my LED candles in the window of hte kitchen. Will probably do some today. Dogs are bugging me to get out and go for a walk. Sheesh, it's just gettig daylight and they have been out about 3 times already this morning
Wish you coud have seen Ms. Tessa yesterday. She was trotting along the road out here and barking just for the pure joy of barking I guess. So enjoying it here.
So nice to have internet access this time. Right now I have a good 4 bars but it will die down a little later. Owner told me that it usually goes down a bit by later morning and will come back up again in the later afternoon and sometimes around mid day. Small cable company so big demand I guess. Fine by me. And thanks for the suggestions about setting up another email account. I don't have a problem with emails other than being here right now. Problem is cause my email address goes through cable system and that's not accessible unless I am in an area where Charter Communications is. Out here they are not. But emails for me are not a big deal as I don't get that many. I can receive them here, I just can't sent them out. So I will do that next time I go to town Right now i will leave my email address as is since I am not out anyplace else with my computer except here. But later if I venture down the road, then I will. All of my bills are on ebilling and I am not in the mood for changing all that. Although I have often thought about setting up a gmail or hotmail account to use just for emails and even then, just to send them out rather than receive them.
I see Dawn is still moving along. Hopefully no bad weather from this latest storm front moving across the country. Everybody else seems to be into day to day routines. Need to spend some time catching up on here.
Am going to end this and head on out. Get cleaned up, dressed in some warm duds and out the door we go for an inviorating morning walk. Going to make some beef stew in the crockpot and put some biscutis in the oven later this afternoon for tonights dinner. Good warm soul food for a cold winter's day. Have a wonderful day all.

DH had a cord of firewood delivered...so time to start using it. 
I ride motorcycles, quads and the RZR, she rides horses. I've never hurt myself on the bike and she's had, so far, a broken jaw, broken fingers, broken foot, broken arm and I couldn't tell you how many pulled muscles, bruises and contusions. And she thinks what I do is dangerous??? 
.....but I do read it. I will miss getting to know some folks if they wander off but everyone uses their time and resources individually. I don't spend much time on FB and didn't realize that some folks had shifted their morning routines.
