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.
Surely they should have put a delivery time frame on it?

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.
Hello Ray. Be careful with yourself ! Good you are okay.:)

Good mornooning all from a cold and frosty Kent.

my back’s a little stiff but otherwise everything is fine.

I had an unexpected friend request on Facebook from John last night.

I have sent him the link to the CDR’s extension on FB. :)
Hello Linda. Cold and frosty in Germany too. I got a friend request from John too. Was glad to answer. Now we are friends on FB. I am happy to hear from John.:)

The gal I talked to on the phone yesterday told me the tracking info on the 'net is wrong. The package was scheduled to be shipped today and delivered tomorrow. We'll see.

Yes...we’ve had plenty of “bad tracking info” on many of our packages lately. It’s almost like it’s what they wish would happen vs what in fact happens in the real world.

December 6, roommates. And today's card is from warm(ish), southern(ish) shores of faraway England.

My bird identifying skills are 1/6 (robin). I have seen the blackbird too countless times but didn't know what it's called. :D Thank you for your lovely card, Linda @JoesMum .

That's it for my cards so far, unless the postman surprises me later today. But, hey, we DO have a postman here, who comes MORE than once a week! And there is a post office too!! Great improvement from Denmark, I'd say. :D

All those birds will have been around in Denmark, although you will have been lucky to see the one bottom right.

The bird names are on the back of the card, but for the CDR they are:
Blue ti t (like I had in my nest box, European Robin, Long tailed ti t
Redwing, male Blackbird (the females are brown), Marsh ti t

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!
Actually, your card is really pretty. The colors change with how the lighting is. It's hard to capture the glistening with my camera.
