Sue in WA: I’m guessing your goats are not angora or other longhaired goats.
Your place is absolutely gorgeous. Thanks for sharing the picture. 
Lisa: Thanks for checking in with us. I’m happy that your doctor is pleased with his work. I’m hoping you will be pleased with it, too. :flowerforyou:
Felicia: We got a dusting of snow, too, but it is nearly gone. You seem to have a little bit more.
Ydaily & Felicia: We made soup, too. It was chicken and brown rice with veggies. :bgsmile:
Machka: I’m sending prayers for a good MRI, along with Dr. Katie. :flowerforyou:
Allie: Good luck for some paid vacation
Margaret: "I had a good laugh with the furnace scheduler. He told me they brought up some people from Arizona right when the bad weather hit. We laughed and said that we make them want to return to Arizona and never return. It keeps Minnesota a secret for a great place to live!"
We have a state full of people who brag/complain about rain. It works to an extent. We’re getting population growth, but it isn’t as bad as many other states. :noway:
It is cold and dry today. This afternoon I helped some neighbors secure a floating dock that washed into our marina, and now I’m ready to stay warm indoors. The dock that washed in is not part of our facility. It floated in from somewhere up river and has been resting against our docks. It was chilly down there!

This is where I walk the dogs when the streets are too icy. We can walk out the gate in the back yard and down a grassy path to this big field. The snow is deep enough that walking in it is an excellent workout.

Hi! Not sure how long this group has been around, but I’m joining in! Hope y’all had a great day! 😊4

The 'new to me' car is here!
As I was at the DMV getting paperwork filed, the body shop where my older car is being repaired called. Seems they found some more damage underneath which was missed by the appraiser. So, now waiting to hear if it will amount to a total loss. If so, I'll be donating it to charity. That really would be a load off my mind.
Margaret: Such a treat to see you on video.
I'm getting a kick out of all the snow pix. Today was mild here, but the storm that hit Seattle is heading here quickly.
Happy Chinese New Year. Wishing you all good health, good times and good fortune.

Rori, Your new car is great.Okie, yes, that is Sasha. She is a sweetheart and loves to go walking.NCBlessings, this group has been around for a long time and we love adding new friends to our community. Please keep coming back. We finally decided to buy a new TV. It's going to be a complicated process but we'll be able to get rid of the very old TV in the office so when I watch my shows I'll have the set from the living room and the living room will have a newer bigger TV.

Happy World Nutella Day!
"It is often said that necessity is the mother of invention and adding hazelnuts when cocoa is hard to come by may have been an Italian trick during hard times. In the 1800s, in the northern Italian city of Piedmont, they made a paste of chocolate and hazelnuts at a time when the nuts were abundant, but the cocoa was not. At the end of World War II, cocoa was once again difficult to come by. Pastry Maker, Pietro Ferrero, made loaves of this sweet paste and called it Giandujot. ... It wasn’t until 1951 that Ferrero made the paste into a spreadable form. We wouldn’t even recognize the spread by name until 1964 when Ferrero’s son Michele gave the jar of creamy hazelnut and cocoa the name Nutella."
Katla - Hope you enjoyed your chicken soup! I bought a rotisserie chicken to pick on while I was at the river house and brought the leftovers home. I've put it in the freezer for now and will put it into a soup soon.
wessecg - What a great face your horse is making in that photo! That's a beautiful aniimal. Sorry to hear the foot is painful, but at least you are making progress.
Karen - Your students sound so adorable! It's pretty neat that they really felt the music enough to feel like standing at attention.
Tracey - As far as I know, no state in the U.S. requires employers to offer paid vacation. They can pretty much do whatever they want and if you don't like it you can look for another job.
Rori - The "new" car looks nice! Hope you'll get many happy miles in it!
It's been a long day as I tried to catch up after all of the running around and get ready for the next bit of running around. Tomorrow we'll pack up the travel trailer and head a couple of hours down the interstate to New Braunfels, Texas, where Philip will attend an American Massage Therapists Association event and I'll telecommute. It looks like my schedule will be light enough that Luna and I can mess around and explore a bit. I'm patting myself on the back because after work today I: 1) got in a half hour on the Nordic Track, 2) took Luna for a walk, 3) went to the grocery store, and 4) prepped some breakfasts and lunches so I won't be tempted to make unhealthy choices while we're gone. In the morning we have some new parts to install on the camper and then we'll embark on the next adventure.
Everybody stay warm. You're welcome to send some of that surplus cold air down here, because I don't really enjoy temperatures in the 80s in February!

Am using the phone app, so won't comment much.
Rori - love the new-to-you car, and your decision if the old car is totaled.
Heather - your picture of your table and placemats made a lovely still life.
wessecg - I remember your username, but not the given name... Welcome back! Nice horse!
The anesthesia brain fog is gone, thank goodness, and tomorrow morning I get coffee! Hospital coffee, but at least it's coffee. Missed it this morning...
Walked all the way up and down the long hallway (using a walker and with a hovering nurse) only 12 hours after surgery. Pretty darned pleased with that.
Unfotunately, dinner got caught in my stoma, so I've been throwing up for the last hour. Trying to explain, its not nausea, they can't make it stop with a pill, has not been easy. More annoying than the upchuck is all the explaining!
Other than that, not bad experience at all. Tremendous care, terrific people, private room... Missing home and hubby, but should be there tomorrow.
Love y'all,
Lisa in Arkansas

Great car Rori. Hope you enjoy it for many years.
Yea Lisa, you are doing great. Hope your stomach gets better.

NYKaren "sounded like an anthem" and so it is!
Machka you are so right, curry even better on day 2. 3 portions in freezer so I won't get tired of it LOVE the "...it will be fun, they said" meme. :laugh: Sending positive thoughts for clear and favorable MRI results.
pip that is a seriously nutz commute! Glad you made it safely! Want to snuggle/hug your pooches.
KJ "slacker" is not a word I would ever think of about you :noway:
Margaret ditto Lanette's ice princess comment! And what a great smile!
Katla we must be broken-wrists-sisters-from-another-mother. I'll admire the dusting of snow from safely inside, thank you very much!
Rita I hate it when care providers don't communicate. Here in "no hurry in curry" county I've had to call the MD to make sure the office has sent the request, then call the testing facility to see if they got it, and when they say "not yet" call the office again and so on until both ends agree. Pfaugh. New park supervisor?
Tracey labor laws in the US are a joke and not a funny one. Think it was Yvonne who said it best, employers can offer benefits or not, you're free to find another job. Dirty shame.
Sue your guest cabin looks most appealing! Those goats are smart.
Lisa great to hear good news from you. Walked down the hall 12 hrs after surgery? Brava! Now time to rest dear, rest.
Felicia love the snowy palms!
allie would you want to work full time there?
Carol sour pickles :laugh: I'll have to try that!
Barbie beautiful Sasha in beautiful snowfield. Makes me want to hug her.
Welcome NC Blessings!
Rori
your new ride!
Ah! That first sip of tea! Great start to morning that got even better when Joe invited me to come along with him and the dogs for an outing. Put me a little behind on morning routine, but encouraging Joe to make time together was well worth it. SWSY and Line Dancing today so a little tired. Sleep sweet everyone!
Lighter, lovelies!

Rori - WTG! :drinker:

Our dog is on antibiotics for an infection and needs a pill every 12 hours. I’m getting organized so that I will have my intervals more accurate and have set an alarm on my phone for 7 am and 7 pm. I’ve been getting the right number of pills per day, but needed to improve my timing. I think this will work.
Katla in Beautiful NW Oregon
I had to do that for years when one of my cats was diagnosed with diabetes ... insulin shot morning and night, 12 hours apart every day.
I hope your dog will get well very quickly.

All went well, surgeon said the knee is in great shape, he was pleased with his work. Still slightly goofy from the pain meds.... And falling asleep in between sentences! But they gave me a good lunch, a slab of something yellow that might have been turkey. It was tasty, but weird.
Love y'all!
More when I'm not loopy...
Glad to hear that your surgery went well. Speedy recovery!!
M in Oz1 -
lisa May each day help further your healing
Rori new to you car looks great. I like your idea about the donation once the assessment comes back
Another long week but I am determined to do my best.
