Good Morning! Cloudy and 31 going up to 55.
This morning I took Craig to work because Big Blue should be ready at our mechanic today. After work I will take Craig to pick up Big Blue.
Today I plan to take some donations to one of the community help centers. I also need to do some grocery shopping and laundry.
Good morning Kathy,
I’m sorry I do not see the picture.
I feel the same, I especially miss my mom so much at this time of year.
My dad too, he passed away on Dec. 13th, so close to Christmas and the sadness that year was very hard. Amber was 10 and Gabe was 8 years and I had to do all the things to make Christmas special for them without sinking into deep sadness. 😥
I hope all goes well with Craig’s vehicle and it will be ready for pick up today.💜
My dad was killed on Dec 13,,,yes so close to Christmas. We had even bought his Christmas gifts that year.
So very sad Ardy 💔
😪
😢
My pic didn’t post from my phone so at some point I will need to save it to my iPad Pro and post it from there. I mainly chat here from my phone. I’m in the midst of today’s agenda already so later on I will attempt again to post my pic.
Thank you regarding Craig’s vehicle 💜
Hi Kathy
It sounds like you will be busy today.
Yes I will 😉
Hi Kathy.
Hope big blue is 100% now.😘
I appreciate that, Ice. We already know about some other things discovered during the PPI that need attention but thankfully they don’t all need to be addressed now and Craig’s vehicle can be safely driven in the meantime. Our mechanic is spacing out the timing for the additional service items. All of these are just normal wear and tear for a 2016 vehicle with around 116,000 miles on it.
we lost my dad December first, 10 years ago now..yes it’s so hard when it’s around Christmastime.
So very sad Lynn 💔😢
@icecream It is 38° now
WOW!!!
37 now
I decided I am not going to wear the BIG COMFY this winter. It is so heavy and SO big…..it’s ok if you are just going to sit and not do anything so I ordered one from the animal rescue site with a zipper. I am sure i will like it better.
The big one was too hard on our washing machine too.
I love your new one, very pretty and comfy looking. When I see your BIG COMFY I see a potential quilt..lol
It would make a warm quilt, fleece lined. I swear it alone weighs 20 lbs😂 It is very heavy
Too bad you couldn’t get it weighed.😀 Maybe if you weigh yourself then get weighed with it on.😊
Hi Ardy
Oh I love your new one from the animal rescue site.
Thanks!! I liked the look of it too and the fact that it is not a pull on
I really like that one, cute and comfy looking.
Good morning, 32 degrees out with frosty grass and Danny has to rub his face and roll on the ground every few steps. Took 20 mins. to get him back inside. 🥶 The temperatures sure have dropped. Yesterday I drove the van for the 1st time and I drove on the crazy busy Hwy 501, all the way to Myrtle Beach! I have not driven on the Hwy since moving here. I was nervous but Denny came as a passenger ( not likely to happen often ) and he said I did great. Of course he was looking in the… Read more »

Hi Jenn
Craig is the same as Denny. He hates to be a passenger as he prefers to the driving, lol.
Beautiful decorations 🎄
Good to know Denny isn’t the only one. 😀
😀
Very pretty pictures. Sounds like a nice day. This is the coffee I bought for home, when i order at starbucks i get the cappuccinos
or the Thai tea latte.
Thanks Ardy!
Send me a picture of your pants sometime or post here.
These are the jeans I bought, mine are a burnt orange like color. Mine are in the laundry basket, I wash everything before wearing and I wash all material I buy before sewing with it. I really love how comfy the wide legs are, a good fit in the waist area and softness flowing on the leg. Kind of like a pretty skirt. Oh, I did get a skirt on clearance, a light summer long skirt.
Those are cute!!! I always wash everything before wearing it too.
Pretty! Its fun to look at the lights and decorations on houses.
I love to go out looking at lights and decorations. We will drive around some evenings to other areas to check them out.
pretty decorations..my FIL’s caregiver just took him to see the festival of lights, a drive thru that takes about 45 minutes or so. Jenn, I think you can get decaf at Starbuck’s, that does sound good..I know even decaf has some caffeine though.
Good morning! It is only 40° this morning. Out of the blue yesterday the sun disappeared and clouds came out and it turned colder and we got some rain.
We might get some showers this morning. I hope not because at 10:00 I am going to a memorial for a dear church friend that passed away.
I finished cleaning the bedrooms yesterday.
My that is so cold for you Ardy,
We were warmer than you at 45F.
😯crazy
40 degrees is cold…burrr!
Sorry for the loss of your church friend, I hope it won’t rain at the memorial. 😌
She was so sweet, probably my age but developed heart problem and had to have this machine on her at all times and they said it would give her 5 years and that is what it was. She never came back to church after covid and i sure understand why.
It will be chilly in the memorial garden….that is where we have our Niches.
Very pretty lady, so sad she suffered with the heart problem for years.
And always smiling
Hi Ardy
I am so sorry for the loss of your church friend 💔
Thank you 💛
so sorry, Ardy…she looks like such a nice lady.
Good morning.
Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam.
A cold and wet trip out this morning but drier this afternoon.
We have some cold and wet days to come running into next week as well.
Day 4 cheese is a “Truffle Cheddar”.
Can’t say I like that flavour very much, certainly different.🙄.
Coffee time with bread sticks now see you all soon.😀😘
Good morning Ice~~I dont like going out in the mornings when it’s cold and wet. I am waiting for spring…lol
Hi Ardy.
Me to it was damp and cold this morning.
Spring cannot come quick enough for me now.😀😘
Good morning Ice,
Such a cute greeting…my what big eyes you have.🥰
Truffle Cheddar sounds kind of like a sweet cheese?
Hi Jenn.
All the better to see you with.lol.
It was slightly sweet but not for me.😀😘
😊
Hi Ice
Winter weather has barely started and we’re all antsy and ready for Spring, lol 🌼🌱🌞
I think it would be fun to try all those different flavored cheeses. 😀
Howdy-do Lovely Early Bird People 🐦
Woke to 36 degrees & snow! 🌨 It’s still falling straight down, no wind; very pretty; got colder as the day went on. Brr.
Got my hair refreshed, it was so faded, my head looked to be disappearing 🤔 Vacuumed down the hall & in the room where the new modem will be located tomo. Communications company just called to make sure tomo is still good 🤸♀️🤸♀️ I told her it’s good for me, as long as they can do the work outside.
Colorado’s map for 12/3/25 ↓ ↓😄
Not looking good for Colorado!😂
Snow is very pretty. Damion said he had 4″ a couple days ago. He was not excited about shoveling after getting home from work
though.🙄
When I heard the forecast for areas in Colorado I wondered if you had snow and the answer is…YES ❄️
