Cojld Wednesday Morning

[Colliemom]

A chilly good morning from the 45th,

Cold front came blasting through here yesterday afternoon and took care of our nice 40 degree weather we had been having. Dropped the temps pretty fast too. Was 37 at 2:30 when I went over to my cousin's and 22 when I left at 6:30 and kept going down. 9 degrees under a clear sky this morning. So I guess we joined with everybody else who said they had cold fronts coming through. And all we got out of it was just a light dusting of snow, just enough to slick up the roads. Actually started out as light rain first and then changed over, so I had to scrap my truck windows before heading for home.

KD, i know how you feel about being by the water. That's one reason I haven't wanted to visit the desert southwest yet. It's on the bottom of my bucket list. I've lived near or on water all my life and really miss being around it when I'm someplace out of state where there isn't any. Although I do love the mountains too and Colorado and Wyoming are on top of my bucket list right now. All of the state parks I camp at here in Michigan are on lakes.

Kathleen, I hope your friend's dog is going to be okay. It's possible that it might have eaten a turkey bone and some of the bone got lodged in something. Thatnks for posting that article Beth. My vet and I were talking the other day, and he said they see a lot of problems with dogs who get people food all the time. Both of mine are in excellent health cause they don't. Maybe a bit or two of chicken or steak once in a while.

Irmi, so glad that you two are on the road heading south. And despite the lousy wet weather, you seem to be making good time. And also getting to see friends on the way down, is a plus. Before you know it, you will be in Florida. I'm looking forward to hearing about your winter adventures down there.

Well, time to be off and rolling here. Going to do up some dishes on the sink and then eventually head down the road here a bit. Want to check out a Cross Country ski shop and see what kind of prices they have and then go visit some friends down that way. Oh yes, I did stop by the gym yesterday and got some info, prices etc. If I can't find some skis pretty soon, I will be heading off to the gym and truth be told, it's way cheaper too. There is a program out through the Council on Aging along with this gym. and it's called "Young at Heart". Every Monday, Wednesday and Friday you can go and work out. They have a series of excercises set up. Cardio, strength and aerobics.

So have a nice day all. Those who are on the road, be safe.

Well, Sue, it is not that cold down here. But then it is all relative. This morning only got down to 33 and it is already up to 44 on the back porch. Sun is out but a few clouds are slipping around it for a good show.

Sharon missed you for those pancakes. The bananas weren't good so I made blueberry instead. Remembered why I don't like bananas unless they are mostly green. They are okay in bread, but were not tasty in the pancake, notice only one. But the blueberry was so good that added it to the mix and made those for today also. Just finished those up and am working on coffee number 2. So will have to come up with something for tomorrow's breakfast. Lunch today will be the last of the Thanksgiving LOs.

Park is nicely full and I just re-upped for another 2 weeks. Will then re-up until after I get back from New Mexico, then I will be off and playing.

Hope that everyone is out there having fun in what ever way is best for them. Everyone on the road be safe. If you are driving on the road be safe.

Good Morning... Well the little dog is at the vets getting iv's and blood tests... he vomited and bled all night... it is so hard having pets especially when they cannot tell you what is wrong...
It is cool here in Camden TN... will be in Huntsville Friday... maybe it will be warmer there...
Hope everyone has a good day...

Good morning from Sunny Fl., sun may be out, but you need something on your arms if you go outside I AM NOT COMPLAINING, it has been so nice and its not that bad out, but is quite a big lower temp then we have gotten accustomed too LOL.

So sorry to hear about the real sick doggy, Kathleen. Sure hope it gets ok. Lenora, sorry to hear your furbaby has problems too and that he's better real soon. Safe travels I am wishing for you Kathleen, so glad to hear you are on your way. Irmi , too. Maybe the warm weather will come back, I hope.

I'm at my sisters, not 5 miles from where the GTG will be at and will go down for one day, to meet those of you, I have not met yet. I may have told some of you, that this state park, is where I spent my one and only day of playing hooky from school. Used to be a couple of rutted tracks you drove down to springs, no fees and no rangers, just always fun down there. Beautiful place, and still is in spite of all of the development, but a naturally true Florida beauty spot then.

Not much news from me , except I am loving my trip down here and appreciating this weather sooooo much and visiting with family over these holidays is such a treat for me this year. Few short words, I AM A HAPPY CAMPER !!!!!!!

Wishing you all a Great day, stay safe those on the road and hoping your weather is good for the driving, hoping to see all when you get here.

Nice day here, I've been catching up on all the things I've been putting off, what a relief. I hope your baby is better Lenora, did you find out what was wrong. Also Kathleen hope your friends dog gets ok those symptoms sound serious.
Carol so glad you are enjoying your new home and being in FL. You do sound so very happy!
I am really frustrated, we had to change internet providers not that long ago as the small company we were with closed suddenly. So we went with another local small company and guess what, ACK yes they are transferring all their customers in our area to Frontier. Oh what a nightmare it is to change all the accounts and set up new ones on all our 'stuff'. I think I'm going to go with a cable company I've heard so many complaints about Frontier, they took over the internet service from Verizon. And this time I think I'll go with gmail as my email account!

Way behind on the forum.
Hope all the fur babies are doing much better by now.
Kathleen - We are having a couple of cold days in Huntsville but the sun came back out today (after 4 days of rain) and forecast is for about 60 degrees on Friday and Saturday. You may have timed that just right.
