    Hi Linda, Our temps in the real world today got into the 50s but it was raining and windy all day. I did get a swim and walk in, and I'm starving tonight. I'm going to have the macaroni and cheese plait with salad, and dinner rolls, and a coca cola. For dessert I'll have a slice of devil's food cake with chocolate ice cream and an iced mocha. I'll enjoy it out on the terrace again. I miss being able to sit outside in the real world.

    Zzyyggy, I checked my weather app for the forecast. It was 70 degrees today, by Sunday the high will be 41 degrees. By Sunday your high will be 13 degrees! Yikes, that is 🥶! We were at Miss Nora’s today and she kept complaining that it was hot. She even turned on the air conditioning, but by then it was so nice and toasty inside and cooling off fast outside. I had no complaints. It was wonderfully warm.

    It’s nice out here on the terrace tonight. Time for dessert now—Sweetie ordered rice pudding with caramel sauce. When I was real young my mom would make date nut bread. It’s had molasses and ginger in it and it was so good. She’d serve it buttered or with cream cheese and we could have a cup of tea with lots of milk in it. I loved it. That’s what I ordered for dessert tonight—buttered date nut bread with coffee.

    HI Linda, Yeah I know the weather is going wonky. Today it's 40 degrees with rain. Sunday it's back to freezing. We're getting snow in the next couple of days. I hope it stays around for Christmas. For dinner I'm going to have a big bowl of beef stew with lots of dinner rolls and butter. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have a slice of apple pie with vanilla ice cream and an iced mocha.

    I’m coming in late tonight Zzyyggy. I saw what you ordered and I figured I’d order a piece of apple pie with ice cream, too. That sounds good right about now. I can sit by the fire for a while and then head on in to bed.

    Hi Linda, we had snow today but not a whole lot. I really am wishing for snow on Christmas. There might be a storm this weekend. For dinner tonight I would love the bucket of KFC fried chicken with mashed potatoes, beans, and biscuits of course. A coca cola with that please. For dessert I'll have some apple crisp with vanilla ice cream and an iced mocha.

    Zzyyggy, biscuits with chicken and gravy would be good. Thank goodness Viktor already knows what I want. (Viktor is the best waiter.) I ordered warm apple crisp with vanilla ice ream and caramel sauce for dessert. It sounded too good to pass up.

    We won’t have snow for Christmas in Charlotte, NC, that’s for sure. They’re forecasting rain that afternoon—fairly typical weather for Christmas. Snow for Christmas is only fun when you don’t have to go for a long drive in it. I have not so fond memories of driving in the snow and ice at Christmas time. We traveled every Christmas for over 30 years and avoided lots of accidents on the Pennsylvania turnpike and Route 81 through Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and West Virginia. One time in Maryland on Route 48 (now Route 68) there was a huge pileup going up Sideling Hill—that was prior to 1985 before they cut through the mountain. Truly the stuff of nightmares if I think too much about it. We only had one accident and I was driving. I hit a guardrail with my front fender in order to avoid a tractor trailer that slid into my lane right in front of me. I think I made a good call on that one.

    Hi Linda, I'm having fun right now watching the traffic out my window. There was an accident and fire trucks, ambulances, and police are there, but it's also right in the middle of rush hour traffic. People are being careless and in a hurry, and it's snowing hard out there. I'm glad I'm not out there. For dinner tonight I could go for the fried scallops, french fries, coleslaw, and a coca cola. Lots of tarter sauce. For dessert I'll have some klondike bars, and an iced mocha. I'll eat out on the terrace tonight and enjoy the warm tropical sun. Yes we do have a snow storm tonight, and theres already a significant amount of snow out there, so now I'm pretty certain we'll have a white Christmas. Yeah.

    Zzyyggy, I’ll lift my iced tea in salute to your white Christmas. Viktor even added an umbrella to my iced tea. It’s very festive. I ordered the grilled salmon tonight with a Caesar salad. I asked Viktor to bring out some lemon wafers and to add some scoops of lemon sorbet to iced tea for dessert.
