I haven't fully decided to do this trip this summer but you all are giving me good reasons to lean in that direction!

Okay, Jane, we'll figure this out when you decide. I have not looked at the US map for the best route from east to west, my cousin that lives in the general area of where Jack lives, used to drive every year back to central MO to visit her siblings. I think they went back east & all met "along the Outer Banks" this year. Their route is sort of north, not too far from Baltimore, but you will be checking out all main routes before leaving, I'm sure!

I'm heading to bed early, the mind keeps busy even if the body refuses to keep up! Fitbit said I had about 2 hours awake last night. I knew I did some thinking & thought I did good. Guess Fitbit did not approve. My alarm is set for 5:00am to feed cats & have a bite for me before going to church. Sweet dreams and God Bless. Think HAPPY! We are cold here!   

I'm ready to hit the haystack, too.  I slept through most of a Perry Mason show and I'm tired.  Got most of my shopping done this morning and now I have to plan the veggie soup for canning.

I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow.  And may God bless us, every one!

Good morning..

We are back in the double geemogotchee weather....temp is -28° F at the moment.

I think it is a great day to sew...friend gave me a new mask pattern to try out.. sew I will.


Tomorrow is Valentines day!! We will be half way through Feb and onto Spring!! Can't come soon enough for me and a lot of others that are itching to play in the dirt.

Better scoot.

Enjoy your day and stay safe.

Good morning everyone. Hope I get this post better than yesterday. I talked for more than hour with Yvette Friday. Was so good to laugh like we did. The muscles in her thigh are not strong enough for her to comeback to work, latest date will be around March 11. she is getting tired of all the PT she is going to every week. Her son who lives about  10 miles from her has been taking her grocery every 2 weeks and brings every thing into the house and puts things away where she tells him thing go.
Yesterday it went up to 66° and this morning everything is white again, yep everything is covered in snow again and coming down pretty big flakes and fast. Beautiful!

LLOYD  life is miserable when one does not get a good night's sleep. I really found that out since Yvette has been out for her knee surgery.

PATRICIA  I was AND STILL AM a computer traveler, but not as much lately. Cannot sit long here these days. Maybe a good thing I am unable to do and PSP. Would take forever to do a simple tutorial.

Have a good day and be safe.

Patricia. looked at your video's and at the moment Hawaii is still sleeping  but Africa is now coming awake with a multitude of birds singing and the sound of a river running. Enjoyed this ,thank you.

Good Morning everyone. well we are @ 25ºF Now the sun is bright and not any breaze even,trees are standing perfictly still. I finley got to sleep the second try about midnight. Nancy went to church and left me a note as to where she is. I am going to get our churches preaching on Line and here what they Have to say. Have a good day just as you like it. I am setting here in the office watching the birds. I have seen some small black birds severial sparrows and even a pair of robbins.

Lloyd

Good Morning Everyfriend!  I tweaked a few wires and wiggled a couple others and gave my keyboard a good shake and it seems to be working better now than it was before.  Lets hope that was what it needed.

PATRICIA, I love travelling with your videos!  Thanks for the time you put into sharing!

I have to go get cleaned up and dressed and ready to "attend" church.  I've been going on line every Sunday and I learned that they can see me so I have to appear in something besides PJs.  And I have to comb my hair!

AMY and GLORIA, please keep all that white stuff up where you are!  I've had enough.  We were supposed to get snow overnight but I think we only got a few flakes and they didn't last.  Thank you!

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow! 

White stuff --- What are you talking about?

Ehhh - It's been snowing since late last night and looks like about two inches.  It's Sunday so an overtime day for the City plowers. So the roads are pretty clear. But the snow that is on the ground is wet and heavy.
Our Robin came right to the back porch window for a handout this morning, and then just stayed there against the window keeping warm (smart bird).
Need coffee.
Happy Day to all.

Jane ,no snow here too cold to snow but this  coming week weather is to warm up and rain!!The snow banks do need to be taken down some as they are dangerously high in some places. Highway sent backhoes out to daylight some corners, that way we don't have to poke our nose out too far to see oncoming traffic.

Rick, whoever termed the saying "birdbrain" didn't know birds. They are smart and trainable. If I whistle, after throwing food out,  all too soon crow and his buddies are here.

Gloria, both you and Yvette are counting the days when she can come back to work for you.

Amy -
What is too cold to snow? At what temperature does that happen. Our prior snow here was when it was about 20°F.

Rick....we were at minus 27°F this morning and if and that is a big IF we do get any snow it would be very fine snow.....not really the accumulating snow. As it warms up we are more apt to get snow . Leave that heavy wet snow for  someone else to move. That is nasty stuff to move even the snowblower doesn't like it as it comes out of the chute it is like a slushy!

"Snowfalls when the temperature drops below the freezing point of water, but when it's really cold you may hear people say, "It's too cold to snow!" Can this be true? The answer is a qualified "yes" because snowfall becomes unlikely once the temperature of the air at ground level drops below -10 degrees Fahrenheit (-20 degrees Celsius)."

Time to think about the haystack!  I hope Everyfriend had a good day.  I had a lonely one.  Nobody stopped by and I didn't have a doggie visitor either!  I did get all the meat cooked and I have some good broth for the veggie soup.   Now I have to assemble all the rest of the stuff, get it made and canned (and eat some along the way).  I'm really late with it this season.  I usually have it done by the end of October but I was a little busy with my jaw back then and for the rest of the year.

Now, I'm off to check the haystack for zzzzs.  I sure hope it loaded down with the.  I wish you all a peaceful night's sleep and a happy tomorrow.  And may God bless us, every one!

Good morning...

Happy Valentine's Day to you.
Mercy it is cold minus 36° no swattin skeeters today!

Some laundry to deal with and sewing later on. One thing I do know is I am not staying outside very long![


Jane, will this be the first time you have used your new canner?

Lloyd, hope you got a good nights sleep..

Patricia, come Wed we will get rain or so they say..can't imagine what walking will be like if we do.

Better get ready for the day..

Enjoy your day and stay safe../color]

Good Morning Everyfriend!  It's cold here, too, today!  Thank goodness it's not as cold as it is where AMY is but 12º(10 overnight) is pretty cold for this area!

AMY, I'll never be using my new canner because I sent it back!  It was really heavy and I decided that if it got heavier with full jars in it, I wouldn't be able to handle it.  And I'm of the age (and living in a place) where I can't really depend on someone being around to help me lift things.  I just decided that it would not be a good idea to keep it.  So I'm back to praying that the old one cotinues to serve me!

I have to go get dressed and venture out in the cold to take Cooper for a walk.  I think he'll be ready but the time I am....if that ever happens!  Of course it will!

I wish you all a good day...better than yesterday but not as good as tomorrow!

good morning everyone. well it is24º here and sunny, Not a cloud in sight,now. JaneS it looke like you and AMY are the first here today againn , seams like JaneS puts us to bed and wakes us up first lately. well I went to bed late again but slept untill 7:oo am feel prety good except still have my usual headace.

Lloyd

Have a good day.

Lloyd

Lloyd, just scroll down on the first post you made this morning...it is there.

Good morning on a Brrrrrrr morning of 17°.We did get Valentine day snow. Looks like 5 or 6 inches, not the 14 to 18" we used to get every year.

AMY  when I got out of bed -too early with the sound of the plow the first thing I did was grab a pair of geemagotchees and then turn the heat up. On my second cup of coffee and still cold.

SHIRLEY  did you happen to see little old Rhode Island on your map? Maybe you will need a magnifying glass to see it, remember we are the smallest one but full or early American history from fighting the British and then Indian wars.

PATRICIA  better not be PC trouble my grandson set this up the beginning of December and I would get rid of every thing to do with computers.

JANE at times snow comes here from Canada and a freak snow comes up the coast from the south. From the northeast it is a blizzard but most snow comes here from the west so sorry I can not stop it from going in your direction. Since I still love snow I will not tell you or Amy to stop sending it here.

Have a good day and stay safe.

well I am checking things out before I take Nancy out for Lunch. she is frofeing at the bit so to speak.we Have warmed up to 42º and full sun and clear skys see you all Later.

Lloud

Good morning and happy Valentine's Day! It's minus 32 this morning, but we're told we're on the cusp of an extensive warm-up. At this rate, I'll believe it when I see it. Nothing this winter has been usual but judging by the past three years, that's our new normal.

Amy, we had been primed to expect zero, so now they're saying, starting today. We'll see as humidity is listed at only 3%. I don't envy your rain; we've had enough of that!

Good morning, Jane. I've also been reaccessing what I will and won't use in my kitchen lately.

Good morning again, Lloyd!

Gloria, apparently Amy and I are having a coastal battle of winter chills. This is one contest that I'm hoping to lose!, Sorry, Amy...but I'm ready for some serious heat

Patricia, we are to get serious heat, if I may say so on Wed........along with rain..going to get a high of 42° so they say. I will take that heat and shy away from the freezing rain.

Bubble, thank you for fixing the post.

Have you hugged your dog today?

Always.....and any other dog ,cat or critter

          ❤️❣️HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY  ❣️❤️
                            EVERYFRIEND

I hope you all are enjoying a wonderful day.  We are back at our son's home again staying with the grands for the week while dad is out of town. 

We watched the Super Bowl yesterday with this family.  The food and interfacing with each other was the best part of the day for us. 

My dermatologist appointment went well in spite of having to have a few spots frozen and one biopsy on the top of my arm.  Two spots were a bit questionable rather they needed to be biopsied or frozen.....he did a double freeze on the side of my face and on the side of my nose in three spots and I will go back in 3 months to have them looked at.  They are big, red and frightening looking. Bob lucked out and only had a small spot frozen on his arm. Yea🙏

Time for the children to be picked up.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

Jenny

Need something light and cheerful?
