Good Saturday Morning. Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam. A lovely sunny morning hut that pesky NW wind is blowing hard today a high of just 46F today. Warming up a little next week and a mainly dry week as well. Police cars at the bottom of our street blue lights flashing and an ambulance across the road from them with even more police cars. Pretty much unheard in Melksham, we are a very quiet town so heaven knows what this is about this morning. Thats enough excitement for the day time to seetle down with a warming cup of… Read more »
Good morning Ice,
We are having strong winds today as well. It is warm out though so that makes a big difference.
Good news you will have warmer and dry days this coming week. 😊
I hope it isn’t anything serious in your neighborhood. Seeing so many police cars is a worry though.
It is almost all day here you hear sirens with ambulances and firetrucks screeching down the roads around us.
Hi Jenn.
Hope you get more bearable weather.
It is about time we had some warmer weather.
Pleased sis Deena is coping better very good news. 😘 .
Same here with ambulances very often hear them going down the bypass heading for the Bath hospital
Good morning Ice
Great to hear you will have some nicer days.
Did you ever FT with your brother?
Hi Ardy.
Yes last Sunday we had a couple of hours chat.
It is this wind again 🙄 😘
Oh that is good!!
It pretty windy here too! but warm, 72° at 5:00 am
Hi Ice
It’s very breezy around here as well today!
Did you ever find out what happened to cause so many police cars plus the ambulance to be needed?
Hi Kathy.
Got a few showers now mixed in with this wind but they do travel through very quickly.
Not seen any news yet about all those police cars but I see that Melksham news does appear in Google news eventually. 😘
Jenn, to answer your question re: Cody/Laura moving to SC. Actually they’ll be following Noah/Jamie and the kids; they’re not letting the grandkids out of sight for too long. Noah has been hired by Boeing; coupled with his engineering experience & heavy-duty security clearance from the Navy, Boeing came knockin’. I think Noah’s due to start work in May; they bought a house just north of Charleston. Boeing’s sending packers/movers to do the work; all Noah/family has to do is get on a plane. Every time i talk about this, I get goose bumps; i’m so excited for him. Now… Read more »
WOW!!! Exciting times ahead for Noah/Jamie and Cody/Laura.
Hi Kathy ♥ It sure is; Kitty’s not doing too well with all this 😔 She sees her great grandsons frequently and will miss seeing them grow up. I reminded her of Facetime, but i know it’s not the same.
OMGoodness!! I never thought about that regarding Kitty. Remind me where Kitty lives.
She lives in the basement apartment of Chelsea’s house in Colo Spgs, about 2 hours from me, but only about 20 mins from Noah & the great-grands.
Wow Pam, a lot of changes for their family! What an honor for Noah to be working for Boeing! He sure has earned the job with his hard work. The climate will definitely be different from Colorado.😀
It sure is 😄 Noah/Jamie were both stationed at Goose Creek; it’s where they met; she in the Air Force/him in Navy. They’re going to really miss Mexican food; believe me, southerners do not have a clue on how to make it. 🙄
I think that is true about the Mexican food!
WoW!!! 😘
WOW Pam…………..I thought maybe i had missed this but i see it is your first time posting this…….
Can you please explain to me who is who again?
Is Cody Kitty’s son? and then Noah is their son?
I am sorry but it is hard for me to keep families straight.
Good Morning! Sunny and 61 (at 8:25 AM) going up to a record high of 88. Winds SW 10 to 20 mph with higher gusts possible. Tomorrow will be much cooler starting out in the 40s and only going up to 62.
Despite the breezy conditions, I plan to go to BJ’s Wholesale Warehouse after I post this comment to pickup my scheduled order of non-perishables. After those items are loaded into my car I will go inside to shop for the frozen items on my list.
Good morning
My sister camna got her haircut yesterday. I was up until 9:30 watching the basketball game. We won so onto the Elite 8 game tomorrow night.
Congrats on your team winning!🏀
So exciting for your 🏀 team 🎉
Good morning,
Sunny today going to be very warm 64 going up to 85.
I had a quiet day yesterday, did not do some household stuff I was going to but went through old recipes and knitting patterns and it was relaxing and nice.
We might go on an adventure today.
Hi Jenn
An adventure sounds fun.
Oh!! an adventure keep us informed and enjoy whatever adventure comes your way.😄
Hi Jenn
I love your greeting image 💜💜💜
Can’t wait to hear about your adventure 😀
Good morning.
Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam.
A wet and cloudy day today with rain on and off for the day.
No frost last night and a high of 54F today.
Kids will be breaking up for Easter today so the traffic will be a lot thinner from today thank goodness.
There will be no sunshine today.😏.
Coffee time now with a couple of bread sticks see you all later.
Our clocks do jump forward this weekend for sure I have got it right now.lol.😘
Good morning Ice,
It will be nice to have lighter traffic for awhile. This must be a long Easter break if it is starting now?
How did your towels turn out when off the clotheslines, were they softer. 😀 Funny how you said they were ‘scratchy’, I know that feeling!
Hi Jenn.
Always nice to have uncrowded roads around town.
They are certainly a bit softer after blowing in the wind, I think that is the answer.
Just read in the local rag that they will be building around another 245 houses along side the bypass.
We are becoming just a large building site now. No extra facilities as usual.🙄😘
It really is crazy isn’t it, adding more and more homes to already over crowded areas !
Same here building all around us, the woods being torn down daily. Now the big Amazon distribution site near us.
The traffic here is already insane, scares me to drive in it.
Hi Jenn.
Here they are mostly building on Green field sites that in my youth was mostly farms very few local farms left now.😠
Good morning Ice
Sounds like a dreary day for you :(
Hi Ardy
Yep, just a miserable day with showers right now.😏😘
😓bummer
Hi Ice
I know you will enjoy the lighter traffic while it lasts 😀😘
Hi Kathy.
Always a pleasure driving on uncrowded roads around the area.
But with all these new estates being built all the traffic has to come through the centre of town to reach the bypass.
We now deed another bypass around the old bypass which is nuts.lol.😘
Goodness grief, Ice 🫣
Went into La Junta to get the car title changed over from the bank to me; i’ll get it in a couple weeks. Then treated myself to a lovely b-fast at Village Inn. The one we have out here is very, very good; I always have a good experience there. The management/staff are the best. I had their Eggs Benedict Florentine; instead of Canadian bacon, poached eggs comes with spinach, tomatoes, Swiss cheese on a toasted English muffin; it was excellent. And i just couldn’t help myself, they had fresh strawberry crepes as a meal, but they let me order… Read more »
😂😘
Hi Pam,
I didn’t realize Cody and Laura were moving to SC. A long way from Colorado for sure. Is it work related?
