It's now snowing So much for taking my ds shopping today.

Minions?

No snow here but the temperature is -2F and the wind chill is -25F. They say frostbite will set in at 20 minutes... Yep, that little rodent has got to go!!!!

I can only wish. And smelling BBQ everyday, now that would be heaven.

I wish I had bbq air fresheners. I'd spray it all the time.

When Walt was a puppy I could move him. He weighs more than I do. If he is asleep there is no budging him.

I'm not a dog person and I'm perfectly happy with cats, but I think if I ever got a dog, it would have to be a small dog. Well, at least smaller than me.

I only have 2 go to authors. Lee Child and Terry Pratchett

My go to author is dead and way to young to have been gone. Erma Bombeck. She made me laugh and still does. I roll towards humor with movies too.

When your mother asks, 'Do you want a piece of advice?' it is a mere formality. It doesn't matter if you answer yes or no. You're going to get it anyway.

Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.

My kids always perceived the bathroom as a place where you wait it out until all the groceries are unloaded from the car.

I haven't trusted polls since I read that 62% of women had affairs during their lunch hour. I've never met a woman in my life who would give up lunch for sex.

Onion rings in the car cushions do not improve with time.

All of us have moments in our lives that test our courage. Taking children into a house with a white carpet is one of them.


Yeah, I miss Erma Bombeck.

I just don't really care for fish. I'll eat shellfish (scallops, crabs, mussels, used to eat shrimp, can't anymore ) but never cared for fish. I go to the UK Pavilion and get a side order of chips. No fish. And before you ask, yes I have tried it, and no I still don't like it.

I do the same.

Around here paczki are pastry not stuffed but sliced like a hamburger bun and a great variety of stuff is layered between the pastry.

Ours aren't sliced. My friends make their homemade ones with different fillings in a pastry bag that fill the inside. I love the lemon most.

@MR FERRET Forgot to mention I am sooo happy NASCAR is on tonight!!!

I'm not a fan of Tom Cruise, nope, not at all.

Was a fan back in the day. Not so much for quite a while, though. Things change.

I think our windchill went to -22 last night. This morning I did what I could via drive throughs. It was still better this afternoon when I actually had to get out of the car and polish off shopping chores. Everything is crowded today because #1 Valentines Day tomorrow and #2 they are saying it is going to SNOW again.

Today I saw cars from Michigan, Indiana and Wisconsin with packed snow stuck on various parts of their vehicles. We sure dodged a storm last week only about 3 inches of snow. I'm having a hard time getting past the hype on the news to know what to really expect in inches over the next few days.

Thank you, that's so nice. Free food!

I bought Cheese and Cheese curds today. Slurp.

It really is a beautiful sunny day though.....

So pretty.

Even prettier if you are taking that photo through a window in a nice warm home, fireplace burning and a pot of chili on the stove.

 

[Gabe1]

The Friday night fish fries and cheese curds alone are worth it!

Amen! We are in Fish Fry Season here. And I did pick up some cheese curds from the speciality store today. I'm set.

It is a lovely place in the spring and summer. Fall too I guess, but fall reminds me of the upcoming winter (and going back to work), so I am biased against Fall. Someday I will move somewhere that has flowers in bloom year 'round. If only I could convince hubby that people need ministers in Florida too...

There are 1279 Churches in Orlando. He can have his pick.

 

[Gabe1]

Fish are friends, not food (except crabs. They are most certainly not friendly).

The cheese on the other hand...

 

[Gabe1]

But, there's beer up here, too. And, you wouldn't have to do a beer "run" (like down there), because the temperatures up here are so brisk, that the beer will stay nice and frosty for you, even just strolling home. (No need for running home to keep the beer cold, like down there in hot Texas.)

Just lookin' out for your best interests, good buddy!

Can't tell you how many times Beer was placed on back porch over the winter to get real chilled and then forgotten as the night went on.
I'd let the Pup out in the morning and bottle caps shot off and slushy beer frozen atop the bottles.

 

[Gabe1]

I will personally come and kick him in the tushie.

You go Girl!!!

I love to read too. So nerds unite! I'm not into anything too gory but some mysteries are good. I do love my Danielle Steel books too, they are like literary candy. Easy to read, predictable, but very entertaining.

I think my Mom has read every Danielle Steel book.

 

[Gabe1]

That's my kind of reading. I used to read a lot of political books, but I'm so over those. I do love true history though. I wish my eyes were better, I used to read a couple books a week, and would stay up in the early morning hours to finish a book. Now, my eyes get tired after a couple hours. And now I'm into Murder Mysteries. They are easy to figure out after a few chapters, and I go on to the end to see if I'm correct. If I am, I put the book away, if not..I go back to see how the plot changed.

Have you tried reading on a Kindle? Generally easier on eyes and they are backlit

I think there's just something about being out there in nature, in the Mountains, with the echo and all the nature sounds like stream water, or leaves rustling, birds...and the combination of that and the music...it was so cleansing and peaceful. And the retreats were lovely because it was just for us...we weren't performing and there was no pressure...it was just pure enjoyment of the music and of making something special together. I imagine the church services would have a similar feeling...sharing something with others, but not on a huge scale...just sharing that special moment and knowing there's nothing riding on it. Nothing depends on that moment going perfectly.

I love nature. Just so there is a hotel at the end of the day.
