Category: Daily life. | Posted: Thu Jan 19, 2006 12:02 pm Still not much going on over here. The weather has really been weird this winter so far. We had rain, which we didn't need, all day Tues. and then it changed to snow Tues. night. So Wed morning I woke up to 1 inch of snow on top of 1/4 inch of ice. There were quite a few accidents on the road here. The temps have been weird also. In the mid 50's F one dau and the yesterday it never got above 27 F all day. Today it's supposed to be at 54 F again! Great weather for colds! This blog entry has been viewed 41 times

Category: Daily life. | Posted: Fri Jan 13, 2006 9:14 pm There hasn't been much going on the past week. Unseasonably warm temps. and more rain than we have needed. Today I had to make 50 lbs. of cole slaw for our American Legion Fish Fry on Sat. Boy am I ever glad that is done. 3 hrs. of standing and I am feeling it in my arthritic knees and my left hip that I had replaced a year ago. But it is feeling better since taking some Tylenol.

Category: Daily life. | Posted: Thu Jan 05, 2006 1:07 pm While attempting to take down our Christmas tree, we took a break from working on it. Our cat then proceeded to get one last chance to be under it. After all he has to wait a whole year! This blog entry has been viewed 46 times

Category: Daily life. | Posted: Tue Jan 03, 2006 8:00 pm Well our snow is completely gone now. We have had temps. in the 40's and 50's F for 2 weeks now. That is completely out of norm for here. Average temps. are around 35F for highs and down in the teens for lows. It is supposed to get more normal towards the end of the week though. Nothing here to take pictures of, unless you want to see pictures of mud! Looks like all the snow is falling in Europe this winter! This blog entry has been viewed 37 times

Category: Daily life. | Posted: Sat Dec 31, 2005 12:53 pm Well here it is, the last day of 2005. Not a lot going on over here. We had some showers come through last night. It has been above freezing here for over a week and I only have 2 little piles of snow left. Not that I miss the snow, but the ground is so wet that when you walk in the yard, it sounds like you are walking on a sponge! I will probably ring in the New Year in my sleep tonight. I am not much of a party person anymore. I used to be a big party person when I was in the Navy. I did find out out yesterday, that I will have my pacemaker replaced with a defibrilator some time in Feb. My Dr. says there is nothing that shows that I really need it now, but that research shows that people with the defib's live longer than people with just pacers. The pacer keeps the heart from beating too slow, and the defib. keeps it from beating too fast! Well the only thing else I have to say is Happy New Year to all!

Category: Daily life. | Posted: Fri Dec 23, 2005 3:53 pm Well, it's supposed to get up to 48 F today and about the same for Christmas Eve. Plus rain showers for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I probably won't get back in here before Christmas, so would like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! I hope it is all you want it to be and more!

Category: Daily life. | Posted: Wed Dec 21, 2005 11:34 pm Not much going on the past few days. Just trying to keep warm in the frigid temps we have been having. The big block of snow and ice that was in the first pic of my last post, finally fell down today. I was in the house but happened to look out the window about the time it fell. Today was the first time we have been above freezing in 2 weeks. But they are saying 40 F tomorrow and the mid 40's by Sat. But there will also be a chance of rain on Sat too. We don't need that on top of this 8 inches of snow we have on the ground. This blog entry has been viewed 34 times

Category: Daily life. | Posted: Sat Dec 17, 2005 1:59 pm Another cold morning this morning with the low temp. at 13 deg F. The sun is out but no warmth to it. Went outside and walked around a bit, where the snow has been cleared. We have about 8 inches of snow on the ground now. I was able to get these unusual pics too! My garage is a steel sided and roofed structure with the sides being tan colored and the roof is dark brown. I selected the dark brown color so it would warm up quicker and help get rid of the snow. Here is a pic of the south side that gets more sun. Here is the north side with less sun. And here is a pick from under the overhang! The sun only warmed up the roof enough to start the snow mass moving and then it re-froze! This blog entry has been viewed 49 times

Category: Daily life. | Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2005 1:29 pm Hasn't been much going on since my last entry. It's been cold with highs in the mid 20 deg F. It did warm up to 33 F yesterday and stayed that overnight. Have been getting snow since about 4 am. They had said we could get it mixed with freezing rain, but so far just the snow. They expect us to get 3 to 5 inches. Then tomorrow its back to the 20's again! This blog entry has been viewed 41 times

Category: Daily life. | Posted: Fri Dec 09, 2005 2:13 pm Well we had our first significant snow storm last night. They were predicting 3 to 6 inches, but we only got right at 3 inches. But it is cold. Was 16 deg F when I got up this morning! Here are a couple of pics of my lane. and my front yard. This blog entry has been viewed 47 times
