We had basically rain here all day, however we are having a "snow event" not that I have any but the Interstate and many other access highways are closed either for snow or for accidents. I live at milepost 127 Highway is closed from MP66-81 which is south of me but there are the 4 passes that I have to go over every dang time I go to Medford. I-5 over the Siskiyous is closed from Ashland to Redding. I believe I now live in the Banana belt ha ha.

Shirl, I do not usually make my Mochas from scratch. Sometimes I make coffee and add flavored creamer. Like Peppermint, Caramel or Chocolate, or Creme Brulee. Other times I just add my sugarfree Torani syrup to coffee,(Hazelnut, Raspberry, Chocolate, Caramel) then add some heavy whipping creme, use my milk frother to whip it up a bit....stick it in the micro (cause I like mine hot) for a few seconds. Add a squirt of whipping cream to the top and bam....I have a Mocha When I get ambitious I drizzle a little sugar free caramel sauce on top, or some chocolate sauce.

BUT, when I feel really lazy I stick this in my k-cup machine............instant Caramel cappuccino

Thanks Karen, I did find a scratch recipe which doesn’t sound too difficult. Ingredients are things I have on hand. Will try it tomorrow. Sounds like a nice afternoon treat.

remembered I had mail so went to pick it up I get a mailing out on I think the 15 th so that was sent but of course I forgot to call and get tags ordered till after it went out so thought I might as well wait till that one comes in which it did on Monday so went and picked up mail then to Blythe went to Ace's and then Smart and Final... keep looking for Clorox bleach wipes or anything of that nature not finding them... although at Family Dollar did find alcohol wipes in the same type of dispenser so I got one... like the smell of it hopefully it is worth using... got a cooked chicken they are so good but resisted now I need to decide what to do with it my dd says eat it... well yes that is the plan but in what types of meals... so ideas????
survived the winds.... the cold not so much need to go turn up the heater got it pretty hot so turned it down to lowest setting now I am cold well not cold cold but want it warmer...
Barbie what have you been doing for your indigestion? hope you feel better soon before you know it Sat will be here and you will need to go to work...
Tina hopefully you are starting to feel better
yielded to temptation today and got those expensive pickles... need to go open the jar and see if they are worth it... didn't think about it when I got out creme cheese for so mini bagels that I got...
so perhaps I will do something on this house tomorrow or perhaps I won't need to soon though as I'm with Martha if I don't do something soon will need a shovel
you all have a good day
be safe

Wind began to pick up around 5 pm. Rain not until about 8. Gusts here to 28 but elsewhere in valley, Sac airport had gusts to 62. Rain steady at 01:40. Yes I'm up listening for trouble outside. So far from what I see with flashlight, no trees or big branches down and our power stays on with our underground utilities.
Stay safe all.
