Happy new year, Lent and the 35th anniversary of the Miracle on Ice.....Thursday #625

I'll take that hot cocoa and add some Bailey's to it. So stinking cold lately.

We finally got above freezing for the first time in forever!!! 35 sure sounded warm!!! Hot cocoa with lots of fat marshmallows for me please!

Here you go - I had marshmallows in the cupboard, and the Orc had not found them, so hot cocoa with plenty of marshmallows for you!

We had a melting day today, so very drippy, but now the temperature has dropped. I'll get the kettle on for some tea or cocoa - whatever folks want! Anyone up for some baking?

[smokey the elder]

-6 deg F this morning...coldest in a decade! The silver lining is that the air was dead still, so it actually felt warmer than it did yesterday.

I have some hot vanilla chai just brewed, anyone want some?

It was actually above freezing by a whole degree today, plus I got the all clear yesterday for another year with the thyroid cancer - I have no thyroid whatsoever any more, but there is still a chance of the dance reoccurring, apparently - so I get to go for checks every year for the next 4-5 years. So it is still nice to get told everything is fine and normal in one part of my body! I wasn't even consciously worried, but it is another hurdle over with.

Methinks baking will be in order soon ...

What good news, Karen.. That's wonderful!

I'll have a cup of that hot vanilla chai, thanks, to raise in a toast to you.
