Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!
We have 14 (C) cloudy degrees with an expected cloudy high of 16 and 100% chance of precipitation. It was sprinkling when I got up, so I can verify that!
Yesterday seemed a long workday, but I got a lot done. Hopefully today won't seem so long, though with dismal weather, who knows?
I didn't feel like cooking last night so we went out for a few items at Trader Joe's and then to dinner at one of our favorite Mexican restaurants. I had the chicken chimichanga, served with refried beans and rice.
Breakfast was cheesy grits, warmed up Spam, a banana, and a small serving of orange juice.
Well, back to work. I hear my coffee calling.

good morning
oops, I must have missed yesterday.
Here's an article I found on Black Friday scams, be aware if a deal seems to good to be true:
https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2024/11/19/new-chrome-safari-firefox-edge-warning-do-not-shop-on-these-websites/
It's currently 48F,9C. Partly cloudy skies this morning will give way to occasional showers during the afternoon. High around 65F, 18C. Winds light and variable. Chance of rain 40%.
I finished up a couple of little suncatchers yesterday in stained glass and am ready to start a larger project, need to get the pattern ready and pick out my glass. Clay was short, only one other person showed up and left early so I left early too. Had a warning in my car that the tire air pressure was low, so went to the gas station and fixed that.
Usual routine today, and I want to shorten some pants (I think most of them need shortening). Shrinking and not wearing high shoes makes a difference!
Wishing all a happy 🐪 day. ☕🌞🌥️🌂🍂🍷🕊️0 -
Good evening;
Currently 47F. We are supposed to get some rain. We really need it.
My daughter-in-law passed her driving test.
Ed and Vix-thanks for the scam info.

Jo, congrats to your daughter-in-law for passing her driving test. Hope work's not too hard.
That's scary about the fires, Irene.
Ed, hope all the testing went well.
It rained here last night. We got a good soaking. It's chilly today.
It's currently 35F, 2C. Partly cloudy this morning, then becoming cloudy during the afternoon. High 48F, 9C. Winds WNW at 10 to 20 mph.
I have a CTA scan scheduled for this morning. I'm drinking water. It'll probably take me over an hour to get there, so will be leaving in a little while.
Wishing all a fine Thursday. 🌥️🍂🕊️0 -
good morning,
well we got rain last night and it looks like it is going to rain all day we really need it.2 boys got caught for starting the fires they are only 15 years old it is a shame some people have lost there homes.
Jo I bet your daughter in law is pretty about passing her driving test.
Thanks for the birthday wish0 -
Well, looks like my post from this morning got accidentally cleared, by me being distracted by that silly old thing called work. LOL.
Anyway, it's a nice day here, a bit cooler than it has been. And it's supposed to get colder tonight.
Hope all goes well with the scan Vix.
Happy Birthday, Irene!

Good morning;
Irene-Happy Birthday! I do not have to work on Thanksgiving, most of the retail store are closed around
here on Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Vix-good luck with your scan.
Hi Ed.
Currently 41F and light rain. We had some heavy rain yesterday. We had a big branch fall off the tree
in the backyard.
Today is grocery shopping and to have blood work done. I also have to stop at the pharmacy to
pick up my BP meds.
Have a great day!

Howdy all y'all. It's fabulous Friday!
We have 3 (C) fair degrees (feels like -1) with an expected sunny high of 10 and 1% chance of precipitation.
We had a lot of updates yesterday, and more coming this morning, for me to test.
Looking forward to next week, as I am only working Monday and Tuesday.

It's snowing! Currently 35F,2C. Snow this morning will mix with rain at times this afternoon. Temps nearly steady in the mid to upper 30s. Winds W at 15 to 25 mph. Chance of precip 100%. Snow accumulations less than one inch. Higher wind gusts possible.
Thanks, all, the scan went well, easy peasy.
Irene, hope you had a fun birthday.
Jo, good luck with the blood tests. I guess cleaning up that big branch will be some work.
Ed, hope all goes well with all your testing.
Looking forward to celebrating Maddie on Sunday, and Thanksgiving this coming week. Time's just flying by!
Wishing all an easy Friday. 🌨️❄️☃️☕🍷🕊️0 -
Good morning
The snow didn't stick yesterday, but it was pretty coming down.
It's currently 37F, 3C. Mostly sunny early then increasing cloudiness this afternoon. High 51F, 11C. Winds WNW at 15 to 25 mph. Higher wind gusts possible.
I think I'm going to TJ Maxx member morning, and I have to pick up a few things at the grocery store to make a frittada for tomorrow.
It's pretty and sunny looking outside, but I know it's cold.
Wishing all a wonderful weekend. ❄️☕🍂🕊️🍷

Howdy all y'all. It's satisfying Saturday!
We have 7 (C) sunny degrees (feels like 4) with an expected sunny high of 14 and 2% chance of precipitation.
Overall, sounds like a lovely day. I'm thinking of making it a lovely lazy day.

Hi Jo and Irene.
Ed, hope you got your lazy day.
It's currently 44F,7C. Partly cloudy skies. High 54F, 12C. Winds WNW at 10 to 15 mph.
We went to our son's house yesterday and played with Maddie for a while to give them a chance to get some things done around the house. Today will be a party. I'll be making a frittata to take over.
I actually brought the presents yesterday, gave Alyssa more time to relax and see them, and Maddie had fun with the books and the wrapping paper. 😍😂
Wishing all a delightful Sunday. 🌥️☕🍂🕊️🍷0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's sumptuous Sunday!
We have 7 (C) sunny degrees with an expected sunny high of 19 and 2% chance of precipitation.
I mostly got my lazy day yesterday. I did run the dishwasher and had to put the clean dishes away. But really, that's not much work.
Today I need to get groceries, starting at PetSmart for kitty litter, cat treats, and maybe some cat food, though they have enough of that to last another week. I'll probably go ahead and get it since I'm there but maybe not.
I'm pretty much ready for Thanksgiving but will be looking for bite size pecan and/or pumpkin tarts if I can find them. If not, maybe I'll just buy a small pecan pie.

Howdy all y'all. It's marvelous Monday!
We have 9 (C) cloudy degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 22 and 4% chance of precipitation. Sounds like a lovely day.
I managed to get a 4-pack of individual (not bite size) pecan tarts at Kroger so feel like I'm fully ready for Thanksgiving. I can live without pumpkin pie this year, as much as I do love it. Jason is not terribly fond of pumpkin pie anyway. I never could find the bite size pecan and bite size pumpkin tarts at Aldi or Lidl this year. I don't know if they just didn't get any or maybe they sold out quickly. But that's ok. Less sugar for me is not a bad thing.
The workday is already started and my tea mug is empty, so back to it.

good morning all
Ed, glad you got your sort of lazy day.
Jo and Irene, guess you're busy getting ready for Thanksgiving.
Pete does the shopping and hasn't done it yet, I made the list. I'm sure he'll pick up the turkey today or tomorrow. At worst, I may have to pick up a few things on Wednesday.
It's currently 37F, 3C. Mostly sunny. High 57F, 14C. Winds S at 5 to 10 mph.
The party yesterday was so much fun, and we got to visit with our son's in-laws. They're very nice. And more play time with Maddie! It took her a few minutes to warm up, but I think she really enjoyed having all the attention! 💗
I'm not sure yet what I'm doing today. I do have a few chores to take care of.
Wishing all a bright shiny new week. 🌞☕🍂🦃🕊️🌟🍷0 -
Good morning;
It is currently 46F and sunny.
Vix-happy birthday to Maddie. SNOW! I am not ready. We had rain all day Friday and most of Saturday.
Ed-sounds like you are all set for Thanksgiving.
Hi Irene.
I spent the weekend recovering from a kidney stone. I am glad it happened now and not
while I was on vacation. Had an ultrasound and a Dr. visit this morning and everything looks
fine now. My blood work from Friday came back good, A1C was a little high. If I can loose
some weight I bet it will come down.
Have a great start to your week!

good morning all
Ed, pecan pie sounds good.
Irene, thanks, Maddie was feeling better and we had a nice party. Good that you're ready for Thanksgiving!
Jo, thanks, we were a week late on Maddie's birthday, I think she really enjoyed it! Wow, a kidney stone, sounds painful. Glad you got checked out and everything is fine now. I need to lose some weight too. I'm at the top of my range at the moment.
No stained glass this morning, but will have clay in the afternoon.
Pete picked up a turkey and all the ingredients for me yesterday.
It's currently 50F, 10C. Chance of a morning shower. Some clouds this morning will give way to generally sunny skies for the afternoon. High 57F, 14C. Winds WNW at 15 to 25 mph.
Wishing all a fine Tuesday. ☁️🌥️🌤️🍂🦃🕊️

Howdy all y'all. It's terrific Tuesday!
We have 16 (C) foggy degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 16. So it's as warm as it's going to get, apparently. The prediction is for cooling temperatures overnight.
It's the last day of my short work week! I'm taking tomorrow off for a personal day, and the company gives us Thanksgiving and the Friday after.
My weekend will feel almost like a week!
I don't have the updates I expected yet, so not sure how much I can test today.

good morning
Ed, enjoy your time off!
I'll be doing some prep today for tomorrow's celebration. I still need to pick up some cream cheese and try to find gluten free ginger snaps for the cheesecake.
It's currently 39F, 4C. A mix of clouds and sun during the morning will give way to cloudy skies this afternoon. High 54F, 12C. Winds light and variable.
I have a massage scheduled for later this morning. It'll give me a nice break.
Wishing all a happy 🐪 day, happy 🦃 day prepping! 🌤️🍂🍷🕊️0 -
Howdy all y'all. It's wonderful Wednesday!
We have 7 (C) sunny degrees with an expected mostly sunny high of 18 and 3% chance of precipitation.
Today I intend to clean up and re-arrange my desk. If I say that to myself often enough I'll believe it and it will happen.
Update: It DID happen. Now there are less corners sticking out at odd angles, so it looks at least a bit less disorderly. I'm pleased with the results.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING
It is currently 38F with a high of 50F. By 9am we should start to get rain.
I have the veggies prepped and the stuffing made. We got a boneless turkey breast, so it shouldn't
take long to cook. We will probably eat around 1-2pm.
We usually take a walk after dinner. I hope it isn't raining then. We also plan to go over our
itinerary for vacation.
Have a wonderful day!

Howdy all y'all. It's thrilling Thursday!
We have 16 (C) mostly cloudy degrees with an expected partly cloudy high of 17 and 4% chance of precipitation.
All I have to do, shortly, is make the cornbread dressing, bake it, and make gravy. Then decide which green vegetable to steam and prepare one roll from the package in the freezer, warm up some turkey and ham, and dinner is served. I honestly almost wish I had purchased some of the read made dressing too, which I have done in the past, for a super lazy Thanksgiving.
Jason's Indian food is waiting in the refrigerator so his dinner and supper will just be a matter of plating and heating. We went out last night, as planned, to get him what he really wanted for Thanksgiving and I was happy to let him choose all the foods he wanted, just eating a chicken appetizer and a bit of is vegetarian appetizer for my supper. Most of what he ordered came home in carryout containers.
So I won't be making any potato dish (often his grandmother's potato salad), or deviled eggs, and no corn, all of which I used to usually make if he was going to be home for Thanksgiving, along with some vegetarian light bread dressing. He always got enough to eat, but was never very excited about the food, so this year he had the innovative idea to get food he would actually love, and we can both really enjoy Thanksgiving.
I feel sure he will want some pecan pie regardless. LOL.

My Thanksgiving feast, aside from pecan pie after, and a small glass of Beaujolais Nouveau. I made the cornbread dressing myself.

I've tried writing this twice, and keep deleting it, so keeping it simple. Hope you're all having a great Thanksgiving!

Well, Thanksgiving tis almost over now. Foodwise, this was the best Thanksgiving Jason has had, ever, I think. My food prep was simplified and we both had what we really wanted to eat.
Dinner was great. Light supper a bit ago was dinner redux, except that instead of pecan pie, we each had one pecan meltaway cookie, to get a jump start on our Christmas goodies. I still need to buy my annual chocolate covered cherries.
