    good morning
    Hi Irene and Jo.
    Ed, nice that you got your grocery shopping done. Looks like you'll be busy today. I have laundry to do today too.
    The visit with family was nice yesterday. Maddie is such a sweet baby. ๐Ÿ’—
    It's currently 29F,-2C. Sunny. High 48F, 9C. Winds NNE at 5 to 10 mph.
    Will probably run a few errands after laundry and exercising this morning.
    Wishing all a bright shiny new week. โ˜•๐ŸŒž๐ŸŒŸ

    Good afternoon;
    Currently 37F and sunny.
    I also did laundry today and went to the library. I am trying a new author (to me) Vicki Delany. She writes cozy mysteries.
    Have a good day! :)

    Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!

    We have 2 (Celsius) clear degrees with an expected sunny high of 16 and 1% chance of precipitation.

    I spent a lot of time yesterday figuring out program issues. There are still issues but I have workarounds and am going with that for now.

    Still laundry to do.

    Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!

    We have 1 (Celsius) clear degree with an expected mostly sunny high of 15 and 1% chance of precipitation.

    I have plenty to test today, and laundry to fold in the intervals. I'm sure Dinah will be willing to help with that. I have another load to wash as well, but that may not happen today.

    good morning
    Jo, you fit so much into each day! Craft day was good. I cut another cardinal in stained glass and found a pattern for a cartoon like raven ( for a present for my son-in-law). I also put together a clay bird feeder, just has to dry and harden before firing. The bird house I made the week before wasn't dry enough yet.
    Hi Irene.
    Ed, enjoy your busy day. Dinah sounds so sweet.
    I'm meeting an old friend from work for lunch today. That'll be nice.
    I switched to accu-weather. I was getting a blocked hack from weather.com for the last few days. You may want to be careful.
    It's currently 27F, -3C . High of 49F, 9C expected. Mostly sunny and milder; a nice afternoon for outdoor activities. Wind N at 4mph.

    Good afternoon,
    Currently 38F.
    Vix-Enjoy lunch with your friend.
    Ed-Dinah is a good helper.
    Irene-Good luck with your surgery.
    I stayed home from work today, feeling a little under the weather. I have been laying on the couch reading most of the day.
    I feel better this afternoon, so I will go to work tomorrow.
    Have a good afternoon and evening. :)

    Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!

    We have 1 (Celsius) clear degree with an expected partly cloudy high of 15 and 2% chance of precipitation.

    Still laundry to fold. I wish Dinah would just get that done. LOL.

    good morning
    Irene, good luck with your MRI and your surgery. I hope they can remove them laparoscopically.
    Jo, take it easy and give yourself time to feel better. My friend was not feeling well yesterday and couldn't make it, she was taking herself to urgent care. I hope she's ok.
    Ed, this morning I folded the laundry that I had to hang dry. I love the name Dinah!
    (My father was friends with Dinah Shore. He always said he met her in Atlanta, but her bio doesn't show she was there, so he probably met her in NYC. He would have been 121 on 2/1. ๐Ÿ˜ Dad trivia! ๐Ÿ’—)
    I have a massage scheduled for this morning. Yay!
    It's currently 32F, 0C. Partly cloudy this morning, then becoming cloudy during the afternoon. High 54F, 12C. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.

    good morning
    Turns out my friend has pneumonia. Good she went and got antibiotics.
    I made some butternut squash soup yesterday, sauteed the onion, garlic and ginger in broth instead of oil, and added a bit more cinnamon than usual. It came out really sweet. Don't know if that's from the change in my recipe or a very sweet squash.
    Going to pick up our grandson from daycare this afternoon for some special time.
    It's currently 40F, 4C and overcast. A morning shower in places; otherwise, warm with times of clouds and sun, high of 62F, 17C expected; turning much cooler early next week; it will feel more like February again.

    Hi Irene and Ed.
    I am feeling fine now. I went grocery shopping, to the library and the dollar store this morning.
    I am going to have hubby help me take some boxes down out of the attic. It is time to do a little decluttering and get rid
    of things that I haven't used in many years.
    I also have boxes of my son's, daughter's and sister's things stored up there. When my son comes to visit this summer I
    will have him go through his boxes. My sister lives in Florida now, so I don't know when she will get her boxes.
    Have a good day! :)

    Jo, I'm glad you're feeling better. That's ambitious to clean out those boxes! I haven't done any of that in a long time, though I should.
    Hi Ed and Irene.
    We had fun with Will yesterday. I showed him how to make paper mache, we baked some cookies, and played outside for a while. He is such a joyโฃ๏ธ
    It's currently 52F, 11C. Mostly cloudy and mild with a shower around from midday on, high of 61F, 16C expected; a storm is on the way early next week.
    No special plans, will see what today brings.

    Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!

    We have 12 (Celsius) mostly cloudy degrees with an expected cloudy high of 18 and 59% chance of rain.

    I still have laundry stuff to work on, and need to get out for a few grocery items and cat food.

    The cats let me sleep in until about 8:45 and then Dinah insisted I get myself out of bed.

    Jo, how are the boxes coming along?
    Ed, I washed all the bedclothes yesterday including the comforter, always fun squishing that into the washer. ๐Ÿ˜‚
    Irene, I'm sure Pete will watch at least part of the super bowl. I'll probably watch off and on. Good luck with all your medical tests this week. I hope you get good results.
    It's currently 49F,9C. A couple of showers this morning; otherwise, cloudy and cooler. High of 52F, 11C expected.

    Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday!

    We have 16 (Celsius) cloudy degrees with an expected high of 19 and 65% chance of precipitation.

    I got my grocery shopping done yesterday, but after Jason's lunch and our supper, I could definitely have used another dozen eggs on the list. I may get out today and get more eggs. Still laundry to fold, and more in the bins to wash.

    We aren't really interested in the Super Bowl, other than the half time show and the commercials, which I can catch on YouTube shortly afterward.

    Good afternoon;
    Currently 49F and cloudy.
    Irene-good luck with you tests this week. I will probably watch the game off and on.
    Vix-I went through a few boxes, still more to do. I now have to decide what to do with the items that I don't want.
    Years ago I used to sell Avon products and I won a lot awards and I have a lot of collectables.
    Ed-I like to see the new commercials during the super bowl and sometimes the halftime shows.
    We went out to breakfast this morning to a new place. The food was good, but the coffee was awful. If we go there again,
    I will get tea.
    Enjoy your day! :)

    Ed, grocery shopping and laundry are never-ending!
    Jo, good for you for getting through a few boxes! I'm glad there are charities that will pick things up. Do you have Green Drop in your area? I wish I could find a consignment shop nearby for some of the things.
    Always good to find a new restaurant.
    Irene, good luck this week.
    Will came over for a little while yesterday while the rest of the family went shopping. They all stopped over after. It was fun, as usual. We all got silly. ๐Ÿฅฐ

    Good afternoon;
    Currently 47F and sunny. We are expected to get a winter storm later tonight into tomorrow, about a foot of snow. Trash pick up
    has already been postponed until Wednesday.
    Today I made cookies to take to work for Valentine's day and I also tried my hand a making bread. It has been many years since I
    made any. I am waiting for the bread to come out of the oven and then I am going to the library.
    Have a good day. :)

    We have 5 (Celsius) cloudy degrees (feels like 1) with an expected partly cloudy high of 12 and 2% chance of precipitation.

    Plenty to discuss at work today! There is no laundry to fold, but some that should get into the washer, then the dryer, and then there will be laundry to fold.

    Jo, how sweet of you to make cookies for work. I hope your bread turned out well. I tried it once or twice, but wasn't good at it, heavy bread! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ
    Ed, enjoy your work discussions!
    We had some snow this a.m., and looked like it was going to keep going, schools were delayed or closed today, depending on what site I checked, so craft sessions were cancelled. The sun came out for a few minutes and now it's overcast again, but doesn't look like any precipitation. Oh, well. Nice not to make the drive.
    It's currently 33F,1C; a mix of snow and rain this morning, accumulating an inch or two; considerable cloudiness and breezy; high of 47F,8C expected.

    We have 1 (Celsius) clear degree with an expected sunny, toasty high of 17 and 2% chance of precipitation.

    Happy Valentine's Day, and happy Ash Wednesday too! The last time this happened was 6 years ago, and Easter that year fell on April Fool's Day. With a leap day this year, Easter falls on March 31 rather than April Fool's Day.

    Maybe I'll get some laundry started in a bit.

    Currently 31F and sunny. We got a couple of inches of snow yesterday. It was all over by 3pm, so we went out and cleared
    off the cars and driveway. Next snow is for Thurs. into Friday, 1-3 in.
    Vix-The bread didn't turn out so good. I think I proved it too long. It was very dense and didn't rise. I will try again next
    week and maybe use a different recipe.
