Hello from 23* in northern MN, very little snow. I am going to get my act together and head to the cities for the shower today. I'll spend the weekend and then head back here. I need to put stuff in my car and hit the road. There are a few stops to be made along the way, as usual. Mostly need to organize the back of my car as I need to put a trifold screen in there to display baby pics on. I'll touch base later, blessed be everyone.

Good morning.
Cold, 41º this morning and Mandy was quick again.  I didn't go out until I had one full mug of coffee down, and of course my cookie. Maybe that is why Mandy was so quick. Second cup is at hand and I'm not moving until it is gone.
This morning it is sheet changing day. And as long as the bed is stripped I have to take a picture of the mattress tag for the warranty claim. The company got back to me this morning. I had a very hard time getting out of the "dip" this morning. Ouchie. I'm not sure how long I can wait on a replacement before I purchase a mattress topper. Debbie I need the board on TOP of the mattress for it to do any good. hehehe
A WM order will be delivered this morning too. I'm all out of my Bolthouse Farms juice and veggies, not to mention softener salt and a few other items. I hope Johnny is working to put the salt in for me today.
Mandy got her sweaters yesterday but they are HUGE so back they go and I ordered a smaller size. Even clothes for a dog are unpredictable in size. At the price of 20 for $17 I was amazed at the good quality.
Mandy's haircut yesterday turned out nice and the way I asked this time. There are new unfriendly people there so I was not certain if they even listened to me. I've made appointments ahead of time for the winter while the birds are here. And if the workers don't change I'm not going back this spring.
Phew, the coffee this morning as making me bead. It's only 68º in here too. But I was cold from being outside so I'm now warmed up well and good. hehehe
This weekend our highs will be in the mid 50's and lows could be in the mid to upper 30's!  Will I survive? LOL I hate the thought of leaving the house. 
Safe travels Laurie. Have a good time too. |

Good Morning Ladies - - - It's another gloomy, cloudy day at 26. Where O Where is the sunshine? Sure would be nice to see a little of that! I have sheets in the washer and a load of clothes have been washed and in the dryer now. I turned the TV to the Golden Wedding last night, but I turned it in 5 or 10 minutes - Just not interesting to me. Nothing seemed to interest me last night - had HGTV on for awhile and turned that too. I finally ended up watching some women's BB - not our team, as they will play today. My cleaning couple are due to come today, after changing the time twice while they were painting as a new construction home.
Laurie, safe travels and have a wonderful time at the shower - - Did you finish the blanket? Sounds like bad weather for us, the first part of next week, and I thought I hear almost everyone would be having something happening. Great!
Mamma, do you take a cup of coffee with you when you go so early? I would have a good travel mug and enjoy it while I was waiting. Hope you have help with the salt going in the conditioner.

Good morning grannies, it's a frosty morning here with the temp at 17 now it's 26 and not getting much warmer but no snow in the forecast. Maybe a few flurries mixed with the rain we are to get. Might get a little more sunshine today! The sun is shining now and should stay out for most of the day
Laurie another busy weekend for you. Baby pictures, sounds like a baby shower soon.
Mamma your temps sound cold too! Nice that Mandy tended to business and you could get back into the warm house! I'm turning into a house cat, I just want a warm cozy place.
My arm is much better but I don't plan to use it very much today.Let it rest with hot and cold applied.
No news this morning!

Good morning! I'd better hurry up for it to still be morning when I post.
I had to take a SSD. Cleaning this living room. I've got all the Christmas stuff out and in the kitchen, of course. (Why can't I get that corner cleaned out, hopefully later today but more like tomorrow.) I have 1/4 of this room to dust, then sweep, then mop.
We have an appointment with the car insurance guy this afternoon and this room will be done before I leave. I would have continued to work but had forgot about the appointment.
I had planned on going to see Sue too but then the appointment ended that. I'm sure Ted would not want to go and sit in the car. She has probably thought I've forgotten about her. But with me being sick, and then Ted got Covid (and whatever else he had), I think it is safe to go now. I can't call her because she won't talk on the phone. Kind of scared to go see her.
Storm supposedly tomorrow. Time will tell. I'm hoping I get the rest of the house cleaned and then I'll go out and sit on the porch and watch it snow. Otherwise, I'll sit inside and watch a movie or read. Whichever will produce a nap.
Time to move it. Time is ticking. Have a great and safe day.

Not much sun here & 32* Clouds will be rolling in with the storm coming tomorrow Last I heard was 3 to 6 inches. I'm starting to take the Christmas things down Hope to have it finished by the weekend.
I called Christina this morning. She starts physical therapy on Monday. I told her it will take awhile to start feeling better.
GRAMMY Good news on your arm getting better.
Jane I watched the Golden Bachelor from the beginning

Jane, I couldn't find anything on tv last night that interested me either. No I don't take any coffee with me in the morning. I tried it once but too much to hold onto with the leash and Mandy's excitement. Thankfully Johnny, one of the maintenance guys will take my salt to the softener and put it in for me. I used to ask Chris but he is so unreliable.
Grammy, I'm so happy that your arm is much better. Yes, a good idea to not over use it for awhile. I could hardly get out of bed this morning, back pain and my arms don't help much anymore. Getting older is a pain everywhere. 
Wanda, I hope you get the snow that you so enjoy. Be safe.
IC, I hope that PT will help Christina. Have a good day.
I had better go ahead and take my pills, my back isn't getting any better. The ones that the NP ordered I can't take with my other meds. Idiot.

It's about supper time and I'm just getting here. The sun has been out most of the day but it's cold. It was 22* when I got up this morning and it's 35* now. Burzy!! I got the mail but stayed inside the rest of the day. Last night I opened the pantry door to see ants! The tiny black ants. I hate them. I put Terro out and it wasn't long they were feasting! Anyway, I cleared them out and took everything out of the pantry and washed it all down. I put Terro in again, just in case. I haven't done a lot but have most of the cleaning done. I'll finish it tomorrow and hope to get the laundry caught up too.
DD and her DH will be here shortly. He'll turn my mattress and change the water filter under the sink for me. I sure am thankful he can/will do that.
Not much more, a wave, and "hi" to each of you.

Good Evening....
It was cloudy but brighter than it has been lately.
Had a fun time with Penny & Teddy. As I keep saying, Teddy changes so fast from week to week now. His vocabulary is really increasing. Penny & I really had a good time playing today. We even played outside for a bit and then came in and had hot chocolate with marshmallows and whipped cream.
After we dropped the kids off, I went and picked up my new glasses. I think I will be able to adjust to the progressive lenses. It already feels good looking at my computer, so I think it will all work out.
Hope everyone has had a great day. See you all in the morning...........
