CLOSE THE FREEZER DOOR!!!

Okay, whoever has the freezer door open, would you please close it?? It's doggone cold. Us folks in this neck of the woods aren't used to it being this chilly at this particular time of the year. It's not supposed to get above freezing until next Monday.


What happened to global warming??


Yeah, I know that most people are feeling this cold weather and I have no need to complain. I'm not really complaining, I'm just telling about our cold weather! The good thing is that when it goes above freezing it'll feel like a heat wave to us.


When watching the weather channel they always seem to mention International Falls, MN as being the coldest spot. I wouldn't mind visiting there, but not during the winter!


This morning we had a covering of light snow and it flurried most of the morning, but the snow doesn't stick around. I have been spending some time laying on the sofa enjoying watching the snow flurries outside and trying to find something to watch on TV. With 76 channels you would think it'd be easy....but it just isn't so. Some people might find it easy to find things to watch, but that's not the case with me.



Maybe it's those alien spaceships making it colder?? Haha! This cloud sure reminded me of one.

Today I took my car to be checked to make sure that it had enough antifreeze in it. I don't recall when it was last checked. They told me it needed the radiator flushed out. They didn't do that there so I took it to Valvoline and had it done. He said I am good now to -34 degrees. If it were to get that cold here then we'd all be in trouble! Everything would be froze up around here.

I hope everyone is having a good year so far and keeping warm! I think Munchie has the right idea! She stays inside more than usual. She went out today and in about 10 minutes I looked out and she had a mouse caught and was playing with it on the driveway. Don't know where she caught it at, but she is a good mouser.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

I wish everyone all things wonderful in the new year; much love, joy, happiness, peace, good health, and prosperity.

Sunday Christmas Signs

Here's two great Sunday Signs for Christmas.

Slip Sliding Away

On Sunday after I went to church I wanted to go on the Christmas home tours they were having. Every year around Christmas time one of the women's clubs have the home tour and the amount charged goes to a good cause. I love looking at houses and seeing how others decorate, etc. There is an elderly man that writes for the paper here and he calls the upper class, the "upper crust." Naturally, all the homes on the tour are nice homes. Actually one is for sale and it is listed for over $600,000, so that gives you an idea. I like going to homes and seeing how the "upper crust" lives! The things I love are big kitchens, walk in closets, and those big bathrooms.

At any rate, I had changed from my skirt I had on after church and put on a pair of pants over my pantyhose, and then wore the same top I had worn to church. I went to the bathroom before I left here. The first home they had punch and lots of cookies, candy, etc., so I sat and partook.

Later I headed down the road to see some other homes and I guess the punch had taken its toll, so I had to stop at a gas station and use the bathroom (thankfully, it was surprisingly clean!).

After I finished going thru the homes I went over to my nephew's for a visit. (I had someone staying with my husband while I was out). When I got there my nephew's wife and her neighbor were making candies and cookies of all sorts. I sat down and sampled some of the things they were making and drank lots of water. Then I went to the bathroom there. It was during that time that I made a discovery. All evening I had had my half slip still on. I guess it was up around my waist, but I had never noticed it until that moment! I took it off and went in there and told them what I had done!! They thought it was hysterically funny!!

I guess I should stay home since I can't even seem to dress myself properly anymore!

Dumpy Drugs

I have been down in the dumps somewhat this week. A friend of mine who has pancreatic cancer is being made comfortable now by Hospice, and her time will probably be very short. She is such a dear lady and I really hate that this happened to her.

Also there was a doctor that was shot and killed in Eastern KY this week and he is distant kin to me. He was 57. He was working in a rural clinic and he wouldn't give this man any pain pills unless the man took a drug test, the man refused, got angry, went to his car, got a gun, came back in and shot him. This was so sad. He was a good doctor and well liked. Drugs are such an awful problem these days. I guess it's everywhere. I know they are terrible around here. The pain pill seeking man that shot him had a long history of run ins with the law, and he had been to other clinics that day trying to get pain pills.

The other thing that happened this week on that very windy day, a 17 year old was killed in town by a falling tree. She was pregnant and the baby also died. The tree was huge and she and her cousin were walking under it when it fell. Her cousin escaped with some minor injuries. I didn't know her but I've heard that her mother was really taking it hard, as of course she would. Just another sad thing.

Anyway, I've been feeling better today. I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend! Christmas is right around the corner! Can you believe it? It's hard for me to believe it!
