It is burrrrr cold here in the heartland. Snowing and we are really supposed to get hammered tomorrow. Winter is here it seems. The part I really don’t like is the ice. I don’t want to fall. I am so thankful that Will does the shopping. He is out there now, as I type, getting the rest of the stuff I need to make the chili and a gift for a new born. The White Elephant Gift Exchange and Chili Feed is on this coming Saturday evening and then there is a baby shower combined with a pot luck at church Sunday. There is a “high falutin’” kind of baby shop in town that we love to get the baby gifts at. He will pick up a pack of diapers at Wall•Mart. A fun weekend is coming up for sure. I haven’t yet decided what to take for pot luck. I think I will make cornbread muffins for the party though. Easier for folks to pick up a muffin than a cut square I do believe. We have been looking for a used truck and 5th wheel. Yep we are getting ready for the day of retirement. We can travel in the north country in the nice months then spend the winter in Texas parked on our friends ranch where he has a pad poured and hook ups just for us. He also has a room built for us adjacent to his house that we can put some furniture in and our TV if we choose. It is a nice sized room with a bath and shower also in it. Any way we have places to go and folks to see. Life is good.
DONNA FAYE What fun to have Jack dressed up as Santa for the kids. I think that is super and do pray that he is feeling fine by then. We are going to have this carpet cleaned before our New Years party for sure. It is funny that your post did land twice and at different times 2 minutes apart. Weird. Sounds like you have all your ducks in a row there.
SUSAN Oh dear, I do hope you are not coming down with something. I can imagine what that quilt show was like with all the different kinds of the same theme. I like things of that sort.
JEAN Burrr you do have it cold there. I think you are colder than we are here but it is certainly cold enough here. We are snowing more this year than we did last year. News said the whole country will get lots more winter than we have in a few years. They don’t sand the roads in town here and there have been some slip sliding. So glad we have a Jeep. Folks should slow down when it gets like this but there are always the few that forget that you can’t drive on ice like you can normally drive.
Well Magnolias I am going to get some work done now that I have had my first cup of coffee this day. Have a lovely afternoon
and do remember to smile.
It's nice to able to make something for yourself. When it hits 50 degrees in the spring, that is usually a "no jacket" kind of day here. I suppose it has to do with the sun being closer to us, but 50 degrees in the fall always feels colder.
I'm sure I googled Blind Spot and will do that again just to check. You could get a puppy now and perhaps keep Fortune "young" for awhile longer. I know how hard it is to lose a pet, but I can't imagine not having one either. I know dogs are more work than cats; I just can't imagine not having one since we've had a cat for the last 40 years. Our vet has said, each time with 4 different cats, that they lived a good life with a family that loved them.
