No rain today. Outdoorsies are happy except that one of the little raccoons (not so little anymore) has wandered back again. Been here 2 nights, eating and clunking and eating and digging, and eating...You get the picture. Hope he/she goes away soon. It dislodged the water dish again so the water was dripping on the ground. Phoooo.

Apartment neighbors who have that pit bull puppy (probably weighs about 30-40lbs now) has taken to putting it outside behind the building a few times each night. It barks and barks. Very annoying. It's just a matter of time until someone gets hurt over there. I'm praying nobody does, but it's inevitable. The dog drags the walker and a full grown man barely can hold on to the leash.

Brought 3 laundry baskets full of curtains and like stuff into the house from the shed. Was going to sort and put it all in my empty plastic tubs, but got sidetracked and ended up sweeping the deck and sidewalks. Now I'm tired. Time to eat something and then tackle the organization.

Busy day here......now getting ready to finally take down the Christmas Tree (son kept saying he was going to do it with the kids) and watch the football games.

Afternoon All

Church was great. Brought take out food home. (no cooking day for me).
Ana, girls out in the snow. Made themselves a fort.
Football game is on. Go Pats!

Home from church.

Now it's football time, with another tri-tip and shrimp dinner on the barby. Mama's last day here for a bit. Bless her, I can hear her in the other room, cheering for the Patriots!

Off for a spot of gaming, me thinks!

Sorta, you are going to need a moving van to take all your stuff in to the store.

L4L, You are far more tolerant than I. I would have gone crazy with the tree still up. Mine is in the front yard keeping the birds safe for the winter right now.

Gail, glad to hear you got the day off of cooking.

Darlene, your mom sounds like a hoot! Hope you find a fun game to play.

Ana

Hello everybody.

Sorry to be absentee all day. I got out early today because we were much warmer than yesterday. I had a great day out walking around, but it was very windy, and then back in the hoouse and kinda napping and watching football.

Then connection problems. Not that I need nasty weather to have trouble getting here, but we are overcast and extremely windy still, and I'm having trouble connecting with anything.

Congratulations Midge on the Patriots win!

I hope everyone is doing well tonight.

Grats Midgy...it was a good game!

Ana, I'm always in the mindset that I'd like it all down and out of the house by the end of Dec...but it never happens

Watching the current game and sipping hot cocoa...

Sorry you are still having troubles getting here Joe and we all appreciate your perseverence.

It sounds like you had a delightful relaxing day.

I took a 3 and half mile walk in the snow that was brutal. It was 21 dehrees when I went and it starting lightly sleeting with 25 mph gusts it really made it nasty walking. I was miserable bit my dogs were happy.

I've been a slug the rest of the day.

Ana

Hi guys. I just got home from work and thought I'd check in. The PATS won but only because the kicker missed the goal wide . If he had made it through the goal posts the game would have gone into overtime. So the Pats won on the mistake by the other team. Oh well, I'm not complaining. We're going to the Super Bowl!

Ana you still amaze me my dear. I hope your Puppies realize just how great you really are.

Midgie

Edit:
Later
I have an early shift tomorrow morning so I'm gonna say good night for now. Have a good night everyone.

Midgie

L4L are you pulling for San Fran? Is that a dumb question?

I can't imagine you'd be pulling for the Giants.

I'm not.

Ana you're a better person than me (understatement). I doubt I get out for a walk in that, but then I doubt Baby would either.

Midgie they always say in the NFL, "a win is a win".

joe

It doesn't really matter to me who wins. I've been reading while hubby has been watching. Occasionally I look up and go "Was that our team that just did something good?"

Son was watching with hubby but the dogs were bothering him so he went to his room to watch. The dogs bother him and the kids bother me for the same reasons the dogs bother him, so we are even but he doesn't see it that way.

But I think I'm heading for bed. I have lots to do tomorrow.

Sleep well all

Ana, you're a beast! You are amazing!

Well, here's what Hubby wanted; he wanted the Ravens to win and the 49ers to win. Apparently, the coaches of these teams are brothers. Pretty cool, eh?

So.

all, to those off to find their pillows!

DArlene, we were rooting for the Ravens and 49ers too for the same reason. And because one of the coaches used to be a Bear. I guess it was not to be.

I'm exhausted, sweet dreams everyone...

Ana

Night all sleep well and pleasant dreams!
