Yes, there was a dusting of snow on the roofs this morning. It just accumulated in the "v's", if you know what I mean.

More cold weather ahead next week, I'm told!

I woke up feeling quite rested this morning, although I did wake up at 2:30 AM. My solution was to put another blanket on my side of the bed, as I decided that my legs were cold and this was keeping me awake. It worked--I slept until 7:30 ( Read more... )

Can you tell that it's cold here by my icon, which is my usual attempt to warm things up? Yesterday I spent hours and hours reorganizing my kitchen cabinets and china cabinet, in the hope of making things more accessible. I got a lot done, but I still have some drawers to work on. There is no end to it, really. I don't know how people get and ( Read more... )

I see that the weather up north has taken a turn once again, so this time I am using the sunflower icon to send a few gentle rays to my home state ( Read more... )

Stiff and sore this morning; I guess it's from rushing around yesterday afternoon, trying to clean and straighten the house. R & B wanted to go to Target and Kohl's to look for new luggage, and I had planned to drive them. But things were still in such chaos that I decided to give them directions and let them go by themselves. As for Jake, he ( Read more... )

It's 7 AM, R & B are sleeping, and Jake is up an out of the house. I am typing on the laptop, so that I don't disturb the "kids", to use a family term. (In our family, the phrase "the kids", "the boys", etc., never fell out of use. . .even when we were middle-aged ( Read more... )

Busy day (more cooking). Just finished watching House, followed by 24. The episode of House was shocking: death of a cast member. What a way to exit the show! I liked the character, too.

I'd better sign off, since I can't stop yawning. More cooking tomorrow, and cleaning. . .

Monday morning, and I'm a bit stiff and sore. I've been working in the kitchen, and I keep forgetting to pace myself. I need to remember to do some of the work sitting down, to spare my legs and feet ( Read more... )

Just back from a not-so-early morning walk. I really need to get in a daily walk. As I made my final loop, I found myself following a woman walking her Corgi. It was a male, a Pembroke like Lady. I watched the hindquarters as he walked, trotted, then galloped. I eventually caught up with them and started a brief conversation. The woman had a ( Read more... )

I'm so tired I can barely type. We went to Epcot today, as we had bought a packet of tickets in December when Louie and Shirley were here. (A Resident's Special) It was lovely weather, sunny and cool. By 4 o'clock, we were ready to go home.

I am seriously tired, so I think I'll leave it at that for now. I'll fill in the details later. Maybe
