" We have a gas fireplace so Bill and I will stay warm by the fire....plan on starting a new puzzle and catching up on my reading."

This sounds really nice Gerry!



"No one has come forth to adopt him to give him a regular home, but they're still looking. Manager assured me says, if nothing else happens, he'll bring him to his own house."

I thought they took Huey to keep him, not to try to adopt him out.

Butterflybabe, can he send you pictures to show how well he's doing? That would be so wonderful!

playoffs and chores.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts, and Bagels in the Break Room. It's 27F this morning , the fireplace is roaring. The Birthday Party for Ellen was a big success.

Good morning everyone

Koffee Kult Dark Roast coffee this morning with Scottish Breakfast tea and bottled Fiji water for the Break Room.

Happy Sunday one and all ... take care, stay warm and stay safe.

Good morning, everyone! A little bit of "opposites" today. FedEx just delivered my seed starting mix and my tomato and chili pepper seeds. And we're getting ready for a very major winter storm here this week! Depending on how far south it goes, we could get 6 inches of snow, sleet and ice or we could get 12 inches of snow!

Draclvr, we have the opposites here now, too. We have a big, bad storm front moving in with high wind, cold temperatures, and rain, and the male hummingbirds are doing their courtship loopy-loops outside in the garden in preparation for breeding.

I think we have the heat pump at a tolerable noiose level now. The only room where there is significant noise now (and only on one short cycle), is the master bath on the ground floor, but nobody ever hangs around in there so it will do.

Finally! That's been a long slog for you to get this heat pump right!

court shows and even perry mason, and chores, starting with perry mason, america court with judge kevin ross, the people court, judge greg mathis, justice with judge mablean ,the verdict with judge hatchett, judge judy. and chore. for tomorrow.

hagatha ... the heat pump has been quite the adventure for you

Yes, it was supposed to be a no-brainer. Anyway, it all worked out in the end.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts, and Bagels in the Break Room. Lunch and Netflix with a friend today. Joint meeting at the Eagles tonight.

same thing.

Trips to the grocery store and the feed store to stock up on chicken, dog and cat food and of course... WINE! Our snowpocalypse is supposed to start late tomorrow night. What they are most worried about is heavy accumulations of ice which will take down power lines. And out here in the country the roads may not be open for several days.

same thing.

We should be getting snow tonight or tomorrow, but it sounds like it will nothing like your storm, Draclvr. Even so, I stocked up on all the essentials -- milk, coffee cream, beer and chocolate.

Good morning, Danish, Donuts, and Bagels in the Break Room. Had a girl' night with 3 of my friends last night. We drank wine and played a Trivia game.

Good morning everyone...Sumatra dark roast, Scottish Breakfast tea and bottled Fiji water 💧 in the Break Room

Sounds like a really fun evening Connie ☺

It's Mike's Day today

And two two day

And Groundhog Day



[edit] Punxsutawney Phil predicts six more weeks of winter

No snow yet, but the sky is that ominous shade of grey that precedes a snowstorm so it could start any time.

I was enjoying a nice cup of coffee this morning when Dude decided he wanted to sit on my lap, which was nice and entirely unexpected because he is not supposed to be a lap cat. In fact, apart from his suspicion of new people, he is the polar opposite of what we were told he would be like. He and Willow were playing pawsies under the full-length curtains the other night. Very cute. I tried to get a video to show John, but it was too dark.

Maybe Dude really IS a lap kitty! It's strange that all our cats love to sit on hubby's lap, but they never come to me. Maybe because he is always stretched out in his recliner and I'm sitting curled up in a comfy chair!

Well, he is a lap cat now. Not for very long, but still, a lap-cat.

same thing. in cooking class we are doing nachos, next week is wayne beef macaroni and cheese.

Saw a great meme today. Since I can't post it, I'll try to summarize. Phyllis is Punxsutawney Phil's ex-wife. She has pink curlers in her hair, wearing a pink bathrobe and is drinking coffee while eating a donut. She claims Phil is a pathological liar. She has moved to Arizona and enjoys her mornings at a leisurely pace with no interruptions.

Well, he IS predicting six more weeks of winter, so we'll see if she's right...

Good morning, Danish, Donuts, and Bagels in the Break Room. Lunch and Mani/Pedi with a friend today.
