I’d give Omaha Steaks a call and voice your “concern”. Unacceptable for frozen steaks to be “in transit” that long. They are a pretty reputable company with a long tradition of providing top notch products. I’m sure they will do something to re-ship your products in an expedited manner. 12 days shipping for meats - unacceptable (me thinks).
I did send them an email this a.m., but maybe a phone call would be better.

awwwww... your being kind. Your snowman was REALLY loved btw... Jayden has a special wall that his “wow” portraits go on & that’s where your snowman is! Pretty impressive that he shared his space but he loved that you thought of him
Oh, that's so nice! Speaking of which, today is December 5, so your card is next! We've traded snowmen with Heather. :D :D

Our house in WA is now pending! I'm excited to see it sell.
We started talking to some of the banks/ loan agencies about getting approved for a farm loan.. they want you to choose a place then them approve it. The farms want you to be pre-approved before coming to see them! It's turning into a runabout.
Tried to talk to some folks at the local FSA but they were unhelpful. We might try a different FSA in another town, perhaps they will be a bit more informative.
Good luck, Bambam!

It's raining, so I'm stuck in the house. Misty wouldn't go out to take care of her morning ablutions, so I have to watch for 'in between' times and take her out once it stops for a minute or two.

I have some left over ham so I'm going for scalloped potatoes for lunch. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it.

I ordered a bunch of Christmas presents from Amazon and I'm expecting it to be delivered today. I have to keep watching for that too so the boxes don't have to sit in the rain. The Amazon delivery guy normally tosses Amazon boxes over the fence into the desert tortoise yard, instead of dropping them inside the gate like my sign says to. I think I heard that Amazon has hired private partys as their delivery people.

Today would be a good day to take care of house cleaning - NOT!
You have a guy who only delivers amazon parcels ?

Well, the tracking info for my package has changed. It used to say "shipped," but now it says it will be delivered by Monday. I ordered it Wednesday. This is two packages of different meats and one package of cheese cake samplers from Omaha Steaks. I've ordered the meat before and it's great stuff. It comes frozen, packed in dry ice. But since it's going to be 'in transit' for 12 days, I'm wondering how long is that dry ice going to keep the meat frozen? I'd hate to poison my family.
I think the company wouldn't want to either. I think it goes to shipping and the next available shipment to go out in good shape to a customer. My mail is being slow too. The people you bought your package from have been around for a long many years. They must have done something right.

Awwwwww! I’m glad... I was trying to get a nice picture for the cards but I just couldn’t get my stuff together this year.. I did spend some time trying to pick out something that expressed something I would feel. I hope your girl has an amazing Christmas!

Good evening everyone. Hope all is well. Finished up putting stones in the flower beds today. I had a little accident while grabbing one of the bags of stones out of the back of the van. I lost my balance and fell. Thank God I didn't get hurt. Tried to get back in my chair before my wife saw. But she caught me and freaked out.
Brought Opo in last night. Got down to the lower 40's. The Kane mat keeps his bottom side warm but the rest of the box is in the 70's. The RHP should be here any day now. Good thing I put caster wheels on his box. Today before it warmed up enough for him to go outside. He was like a little kid looking for trouble. Soaked him in his pool last night in the shower. Today it was warm enough to soak him outside. After the soak he grazed until he got cold. Walked into the screen porch, in the house and right to his box for bedtime.
Well done Opo.

Ok I will. It's so complicated to tell all of the story. I'll try though. The day I bought her I kept hearing in my mind and heart...Go get your rabbit...and even though my logic was saying no my foot was on the gas peddle to just go look and see. I found her and she's the only rabbit I've ever met that loved being held. In 2014, I was as usual holding her like a baby. When I tried to get up my foot got caught and I went flying through the air with her still in my arms. The only thing I had time to think about was how to not squish her. I was able to place her safely on the floor as I hit the floor. The act of helping her kept me from cracking my head as bad as my kneecap. By trying to place her not under me my arm kept my head safe. I still think the Lord made me buy her even though she was a pain in the butt... she was just so active.
Ahh , it was obviously then meant to be.!!
