Good morning.
Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam.
A chilly and cloudy day no sunshine today 45F top temp.
We are in a high pressure system for the next week or two, so settled weather but cold with night frosts.☃.
Traffic once again in manic mode and this was at 8am and still another shopping day after today.
Thank goodness our shopping is done just the daily paper from the garage at the bottom of the road.
Time for that morsel of cheese and coffee see you all in a while.😀😘.
Good Morning Ice
Just a few cheese morsels left.
What are your plans for Christmas?
Hi Ardy.
The Christmas day cheese is a round in a wax coating with chocolate and Cheddar.
We will be staying at our house for the duration with family looking in on Christmas day.😀😘
Oh I thought maybe one of your sons would have Christmas dinner and you would go over ?
Nice they will look in on you♥
We will be dining alone Ardy I prefer that now as we age.lol.🙂
will they bring dinner
No Glenda will be cooking ours I will pour the wine.lol.
too much commotion😃
Good morning Ice,
Traffic hopefully will be better after Christmas.
Will you miss those little morsels of cheese?
Hi Jenn.
It will be better after Christmas with the schools still on holiday.
I shall be glad to have a proper hunk of cheese.
I have always thought that you would become homesick eventually. I am not at all surprised to see you might be thinking of going back to your roots. You are a Maine through and through.😘
Thank you Ice, if I never realized I am a Mainer through and through, I sure do now. Never too old to learn a lesson I guess.😬
Happy Christmas Eve Eve
Same for you Pam.😘
And you as well Pam…
Ice/Beryl
I hope neither of you are near Shropshire — this is just awful ↓↓ 🙏
No where near us but just and unbelievable sight how on earth will they repair that.😥
I saw that!
Oh how sad!
❤️❤️❤️
Merry Christmas Kathy 🎄🎅🎄🎅🎄 ⛄
Merry Christmas Pam 🎄💝🎄
Good Morning! Sunny and 32 going up to 54. I am giddy with excitement about Lauren arriving today. Last evening I got her gifts wrapped. I still have a few more gifts for Craig’s family to wrap. The other day when I mentioned that I planned to wrap Christmas gifts I got sidetracked (as usual) and never got around to wrapping anything until last evening 😂 But hey, there have been years that my gift wrapping didn’t happen until Christmas Eve 🤣 Christmas Night Craig’s extended family has a gathering at his Aunt Lovenia’s in Davidson, NC. Everyone that comes… Read more »
I am excited for you!!!! Enjoy your time with Lauren!
Thank you!! ❤️
I am so happy for you that Lauren will be with you for Christmas.
We realize now being here is not proving not to be easy for family to make the long trip. 🤨
Damion’s girlfriend decided to go back with an old boyfriend so he is heartbroken. Said he knew he was better off alone not trying to date. Worry for him and worry for Gabe and family with her mom’s issues.
The Christmas Eve party sounds lovely and I think it’s a great idea to order a pre-made platter.😘
That breaks my heart for Damion 💔 Prayers for him 🙏🏻
Gabe and family remain in my thoughts and prayers ❤️🙏🏻
Thank you Kathy. 💗 Hard to see your loved ones hurting.
Yes it is 😞
Oh I missed that Damions GF went back to her old boyfriend…..how long had they been dating?
Are you thinking of moving again to be closer to family?
Good morning, It is just daylight outside now, I stepped out with Danny hoping he would pee quick because it 39 degrees. In an instant he was off to the wood path me twirling to follow him and the biggest deer I have seen here shot right in front of me out of the wood onto the lawn. Wish I had a camera. Danny just will flush them not chase after them. So that was exciting.😏 Denny asked me out to breakfast at the Cracker Barrel ( we received a gift cert. from Dennis, Danyell and Charlotte the other day… Read more »
Hi Jenn
Wow!! What an exciting walk (run) with Danny 😹
The Hedgehog tote bag from Cracker Barrel sounds so cute 😊
It was a surprise to see the deer run past me! 🤗
I like the gift shop and the old fashioned candy they sell there.🍭🍬
Good morning everybody. I went to early church like usual. And then I stopped at Walmart for just a few things, Then I came home did some laundry watch TV in the afternoon and some football with Rick. He took a bag of red hot scorpions to the marketplace and one guy had a bag of chili’s and onions which was ready to go to make salsa So he asked if you wanted to do a trade and the guy said yes so we had tacos for supper. Rick likes to barter, the Scorpion chili they’re the hottest on earth… Read more »
Morning Ardy,
Rick made a good deal if those are not very popular. They sound scary hot to me. Have you eaten them?
How is Nikki with the fleas?
I wont even try those scorpion chilis!!!!!! In 2012, New Mexico State University’s Chile Pepper Institute identified the Trinidad Moruga scorpion as the hottest chili pepper at that time, with heat of 1.2 million Scoville heat units.
Good grief they sound scary. Rick must like them if he grows them?
No he really doesnt but they just now took over growing and exploded!!!
😮
She is still scratching but is resting peacefully next to me. Rick bought a flea powder for her but after reading the directions he decided not to use it because it said to consult your Vet. So he took it back. He is going to Vet office this morning to talk to them.
That is good he is going to the Vets office. Your lucky you have not had any bites, mine swelled up terrible and hurt. Worse bites I have had that I remember. Maybe I had an allergic reaction to them.
Oh I could not handle those chillies mild ones are bad enough for me.lol.
Same with me, Ice!!
What a great deal Rick made at the marketplace 😃
