    good morning
    Cold here too, Irene! I'm not going out until it warms up a bit later!
    Ed, your advent trio for today sounds scrumptious!
    I'll probably try to get to the post office today, maybe some shopping.
    It's currently 21F, partly cloudy. High 48F. Winds SSE at 5 to 10 mph.
    Wishing all a fine new week. ๐Ÿง๐ŸŽ๐Ÿงฃ๐Ÿงค

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

    We have 7 (Celsius) rainy degrees with rain hopefully ending within the hour. The expected overcast high is 15 with 40% chance of precipitation.

    Today's Advent calendar wine is Wintertime Wonders Grenache. Today's Advent calendar cheese is Black Pepper Gouda, and today's Advent calendar chocolate is a rather large bourbon vanilla truffle.

    good morning
    Ed, I don't think I've ever tried Grenache. I just read a bit about it, full bodied, and ranges of dryness/sweetness. I tend to like a touch of sweetness in wine. I think it must be so much fun to do these advent packs. :)
    I did a little shopping yesterday. I have a zoom meeting with my dietitian this morning, and clay crafting this afternoon.
    It's a gray and rainy day. Currently 38F, a steady rain this morning. Showers continuing this afternoon. High 49F. Winds light and variable.
    Wishing all a fulfilling Tuesday. โ˜”โ˜•

    Ed-I hope J feels better soon. Thanks for keeping us updated on the latest scams.
    Vix-I haven't been sleeping well either. Today I got up at 3am. I just couldn't fall back to sleep.
    Hi Irene.

    Good Afternoon;
    I am on vacation this week.
    My daughter and I went to Cirque de sol T'wis the night before Christmas on Sunday evening. It was a lot of fun. We took the train into Boston. It was an experience, a few crazy people on the train.
    Ed-your wine, cheese and chocolates all look so good.
    Vix-Happy belated Birthday! I hope you had a great day. I have to do better about staying in touch with our little group.
    Irene-You had a busy weekend.
    From my last post, which I forgot to send, I had a good Dr. visit. I do not have to go back for a year.
    Hubby is finally on the mend. He went back to work yesterday. Keeping our fingers crossed for no more health issues.
    I made an out door arrangement for the front steps this morning. I took my garden clippers and foraged the backyard for greenery. I will try and post a picture later.
    Have a great evening. :)

    good morning
    Thanks for the b-day wishes, everyone. It was last Friday, yesterday was our 47th anniversary! Yikes, that's a long time. We toasted to 47 more. ๐Ÿ˜‚
    Jo, I somehow missed your post. The plant is so festive. I like how you put it together. I'm glad your Dr. visit went well, and that hubby is feeling much better. I know you are enjoying your week off, the visit to Boston with your daughter sounds like it was a lot of fun! :)
    Irene, I don't know much about wine either, just whether I like them or not when I have a glass. ;)
    Our dinner was casual and fun. We both had THE BANTER, house cured corn beef, gruyere, black Russian bread, whiskey mustard, hand cut fries house made ketchup. Hubby had the gluten free version with what he said was the best gluten free bun he's had. And for the cocktail, we had the MIGHTY MEZZ,
    Bulleit Bourbon, drambuie, fresh citrus, fresh lime, bitters. Sweet and strong.
    I have a visit with my pain Dr. this morning. It's currently 42F, areas of patchy fog early. Cloudy. High 53F. Winds N at 5 to 10 mph.
    Wishing all a smooth and easy Thursday. โ˜• โ˜๏ธ๐Ÿ˜Š

    Good morning;
    Vix-your dinner sounds so good. I haven't had corned beef in a long time. Good luck at the pain Dr.
    I have a few errands to run this morning. Yesterday it rained all day, so I stayed in and read a book.
    Hi Irene and Ed.
    Have a great day! :)

    Good morning;
    Hubby and I went out for breakfast this morning. I had a veggie omelet and brought half home for tomorrows breakfast. My daughter is coming over later this morning and we are making button Christmas trees and an ugly Christmas sweater for hubby. His work is having a contest for the ugliest Christmas sweater. I will post pictures when they are finished.
    It is a chilly 32 degrees this morning.
    Have a great day! :)
