Stay in - stay put - and stay safe!!!!!
I'm in the country - no sidewalks - just a driveway 100' long! :eek: That was a job for son and grandson. I still haven't gone anywhere. The farthest I've ventured out since the snow, was to the garage today to get some things out of the big freezer. Two out of 3 cars have been out, but not mine! Maybe next week.
Merry Christmas!
MERRY CHRISTMAS THURSDAYS! *HUGS* to all of you my friends. You have touched my life in so many ways, I can't thank you enough :love:
Thank you for all your kind words, thoughts and prayers. They mean the world to me!
Thanks to you and everyone else for being great patrons!:)

That all right, RICHARD! Better late than never!
Yep, we got lots and lots and lots of snow last night. Cookies and hot chocolate are on tap today!!! We will share.
Also have some yummy treats for the critters! :D
I have some leftover Christmas cookies - little green (butter cookie) trees with red sparkly sugar "decorations" and a star on top, and some humble tollhouse cookies, everyone can share!
My side of the family doesn't gather for Christmas until January 3rd, so I still have most of my shopping still to do, intentionally!
I am looking at some apple cider-it comes in the packages so I can't be too proud of that fact.....
Anyone?
I am willing to share too!:D
I am making some onion soup hamburgers, a pot of flavored rice and a simple green salad for lunch.
Pull up a chair.....
-----------
I just finished breakling up some wood for the fireplace too!
Pulling up a chair ..... :D
My guess is a regular looking hamburger made with an onion soup packet thingie.
Onion soop hamburger..... Ingredients must be ground beef, 1 package dry onion soop mix and some other stuff. It's really quite good. Say what you want about dry soop mixes but they do have their uses besides soop.....yes, I write soop and not soup.
Well my Christmas day was the worst in our family's history. On one hand it was good to see my two nieces in one room together and catch up on their busy lives but our Christmas evening included slamming doors, screams of "shut up!!", tears, and dinner plates left half uneaten. At one point my Mom and I were the only ones left at the table quietly enjoying our turkey and stuffing. The others were spread all over the house in tears.
As it was we didn't sit down to dinner until 9pm and with all the drama that happened half way through the dinner, we didn't finish dessert until midnight. After dropping Mom off, I got home at 1am and was so wound up that I didn't get to sleep until well after 2am. Clearly it was the worst evening I've ever had with my family. Next year, I think I'll take a page out of my brother's book and fly away to some exotic place for the winter :rolleyes: or better yet, maybe I'll take a trip to Pacioma, CA. ;)
So bartenter please slide on down an ice cold beer and one of your burgers. Many thanks.
Slick, I hope to have my own house by next Christmas and will be looking to fill it with friends for the holidays, you and Max are welcome to visit here. But it will probably be colder than you'd care to enjoy.
I'm going to make a hot cranberry/apple cider drink. Anyone want one?
Sounds yummy - and hazardous to me in real life, so I'll take one here! :)
Here you go Karen, careful it's really hot.
Thanks, miss the tang of cranberry juice, but it was the allergy on the last blood test I was given that literally went off the chart!
Sunny, but damp and warmish here today, still a good cup of chai would hit the spot!
Well, good morning everyone!! Is there still some heat on that fire? It's COLD here today and REALLY WINDY!! Some hot cappucino and a bagel would do the trick - when my husband and I get home today the house is ours again. All relatives hit the road yesterday and today...wonderful to have everyone, but nice to get back to normal, too.:) Pull up a chair, y'all!
Going to need that fire going for the next few days. The deep cold is set to return this afternoon. Instead of the temp rising today it is falling. Where it was -4 earlier it is now -9. Snow coming for the next few days.
To go with that rip roaring fire, do we have any hot tea? If not I will put on a pot.
Could I get a fog light/horn with that tea? Its just gotten really foggy. Must be the cold front moving in, it's -15oC now.
Hey Richard, I'll have a large G & T with a slice of lime please??? :love: Many thanks. I just finished my hour workout and I'm parched.
The weather has been quite cold here but is supposed to warm to to about 45 F with lots of rain. Typical for this time of year.
Oh I do love that fire Richard. My toes are nice and toasty. :love:
I really need some tea this morning. Anyone else? I'll get the pot started seeing as it's 5 am here.
Fog's gone. -14oC and staying put there for the day. Snow is falling, looks pretty. Be better if I didn't have to venture out today.
Tea's ready, anyone?
Tea is always good! Thanks.
I'll take some tea - and I have some cinnamon scones to share! :)
Orc, could you stoke the fire, please?
45 F sounds heavenly right now!!! I'm so tired of below freezing weather and snow!!! :eek: Isn't it time for Spring yet?
I feel weird. I felt fine then took a nap and woke up depressed!!! The holidays (and weather) do that to me.
How about a cherry limeade to remind me winter won't really last forever!!! ;)
Ok, it's cold out, snowing off and on and I've had like the worst day ever. I'd really love a stiff drink. :mad:
I will settle for a very large cup of hot chocolate with marshmallows. Do we have any of that?
Richard, I was actually up at 2. Then again at 4 because Deigo wanted breakfast. I made the cats wait till 4:30 to ensure they'd eat all their food.
