COLD DARK ROOM

Same here. We don't have a snow storm now but we got a lot of snow. Instead of 2" it's 9. That much snow causes weight on the power lines and everyone's electricity is overloaded too for heat and all the other stuff. We haven't had this much snow at one time for a long time. I'm trying not to complain because it is more normal .?
Storms sound scary. Everyone stay safe!
I had spaghetti and meatballs for Christmas!
I figured I was only one person why would I make a turkey?
You’re like me.... all the sides but if I don’t get MY stuffing .... I’m off in a huff. I throw an “adult temper tantrum”! ?
god bless her. She sounds wonderful.
Lots of “thank you’s” and “please’s”.
Girls love that kinda stuff.
Maybe a bunch of flowers to say ...
“Just for being you” kinda thing...
I wish I had 1// your talent.
Welll that was definitely a dark and stormy night. we have a bay window on our bedroom and the wind was howling round it and the rain lashing against it all night. It’s calmer now and we’ll check the fences and the floor (for roof tiles) shortly. There are a lot of trees down according to the radio travel news.
I hope things are OK with you Lyn

Hope you find nothing! I think Wind may be the biggest scare factor for me in storms. It seems to be the most destructive.
Thankfully all OK in the end, but it was about 5 a.m before it finally calmed down.
Some of the houses nearby have lost slates, but so far I've not found any obvious damage to my house and the leak I found the other day isn't any worse - maybe due to wind direction.
I haven't heard any local reports about damage or trees down yet but I'm sure there will be.
I hope your house and fences are still intact, Linda.
I always fix a turkey or two during the holidays. I
LOVE turkey!!
Yes - we saw whole turkey here on sale for fifty cents a pound! Some good deals to be had.
Glad to hear all of our UK folks survived Big Bella of a storm. Wow. I’m seeing all kinds of flooding of streams, becks, peoples houses.
All on one piece too thankfully
The wind brought some of the Christmas lights down in the town, but the council was sorting those out when we walked through on our daily constitutional.
The trees have taken a battering locally and the river is very full. There’s a flood warning out. The council has advised people not to park in the supermarket car parks which are low level and designed to take flood water away from the High Street.
Our Susquehanna River, up north and to the east of me, is at flood stage, endangering many folks downstream. 17 of the 23 “flood gates” at the big Conowingo Dam are open, letting water pour out, flooding folks who live downstream. Rain? Nope...due to all the snow up in Pennsylvania & New Jersey melting at once.
Its always something.
Its always something.
Good good!?
I love it too. I've probably ruined it for the holidays for me though. I have it now and then all year long. I don't enjoy already cooked frozen for leftovers. So I try to come up with something different on the holidays. This year I did cornish game hens. So Joe could have his bird food for Christmas.?
We're going to have that too soon. The snow is melting fast today and there was a lot. It's 46f now thank the good Lord. I won't have to unbury the car tomorrow. I need to go shopping. But my back yard could become an ice skating rink. We'll see.?
Thanks. I think everyone “has something“ that they are good at. Painting, decorating, taking care of ppl or animals, gardening, carving spoons, etc. Things like painting or woodworking are a bit more visually “tangible”.
Good evening.. I’m a bit in my emotions today as it’s Jess’s 18th birthday.. it’s certainly not what I’ve envisioned for her all of these years. I’ve made her a strawberry pie and cooked a stuffed chicken with air rolls and cinnamon butter. We are having a Harry Potter marathon.. at 18, she should be out living it up.. but I’ve banned all her friends save 1 ( who is coming over tonight) and she’s not allowed out yet due to circumstances.. I second guess my decisions but keeping her safe is my top priority.. I hope she can make up for this another year..
Yeah, you’re doing the right thing. Last thing Jess needs is something whacko to somehow accidentally happen. Even at home, the more peeps around - things happen. Murphy’s Law. Couple all of that with COVID & you have major chances of something. Be safe.
