Rose went grocery shopping today. When she came home. I asked her how the shopping went.
She said it was horrible. The woman at the checkout was rude and being a jerk.
I asked her, so you must have been at the self checkout!🤣🤣
Just a joke ladies. 😬😬
I hope she bought steak for you to put on your black eye!! 😄

Good morning all.
Today is our first day in weeks with above freezing temps and no frost!!
It's still cold but bright and the sun is trying to break through. It's a good day for a walk, but I've decided to paint the woodwork in my bathroom . There's not much of it so it won't take long. I've just got to locate my paintbrushes etc. - that may take longer than the actual painting 🙄
I hope you all have a peaceful Sunday. TTFN

Sorry you're not well and having to put up with such low temps, but I'm so happy to hear from you Cathie. I've been worried you've been snowed in or without power. Keep doing what you're doing and stay in the warm.
We've had a long spell of temps between 25 - 39 F too, but thankfully no more snow.
I wish our temps would stay that high but they are supposed to drop again around Tuesday. I keep praying that maybe this cold snap can let up but only God willing. So we'll see. It's been really hard on everyone around here. Everybody is sick and the cold temperatures make it worse. Not to mention the extremely high heating bills. But I have a lot to be thankful for. We haven't lost electricity and easy heating has everything to do with that. 🤔

Good afternoon/evening all.
It's another dry chilly day here.
There was very thick ice on the bird baths this morning.

I've had a quiet day - just went shopping for a few essentials. It was nice not to have to be anywhere today.

My nephew who's living in Lancaster CA for a few years said that they and Palmdale? (the next town) were on the list for evacuation from the fires, but thankfully that changed so they're out of danger - for now. I'm willing it to rain over there.

We're almost half way through winter. It''s not getting dark quite so early now. It's been very gradual, but we have about half an hour more daylight since the equinox. Although I don't mind the dark evenings - it keeps the neighbours in.😊

I hope you're all having a good Friday and that the snow isn't causing too many problems for those of you who have it.
I missed your birthday to say happy birthday but have a happy Saturday too!!!! Seems like I'm always a day late and a dollar short. I must be part tort.😊

Good morning/afternoon all.
It's quite a grey day here but dry so able to get out and about.
I managed to prep the woodwork yesterday so it's all ready to paint. Hopefully it will be done in the couple of days and not something I keep putting off again. 🙄

One of my nephews is in Florida on a business trip but he was stuck in Boston for a couple of days because of the snow. He's finally reached Fl via North Carolina. I don't know why they didn't fly him on a direct flight so he could avoid the snow. 🤔

I hope you're all having a good Monday. TTFN

Thank you all for the birthday wishes ❤️ - not belated at all, it's my birthday today (13th - unlucky for some - especially for my parents 😄)

I think the banner must appear on all of my posts but only for the day. It would have appeared after midnight here which is several hours before many of you get there.
My sister's are taking me out for lunch so looking forward to that.
I'd better get myself ready so see you later.

Enjoy and remember that Jeff celebrated his 2025th birthday recently.
