Hi Potties! Not sure who's getting the next batch of bad weather. Sounds like Katie got the short straw again & maybe Shelly. Sounds like all I'll get may be rain.
Katie - Sounds like you may get the next bad weather - the price you pay for being in the middle of the country?
I like the Chiefs 'cause I liked their coach when he was with the ungrateful Eagles ownership. I used to watch the Bengals 'cause for some reason I liked Chris Collinsworth when he played for them & then kept following them to pull for AJ Green, a UGA Bulldog originally. On game day I'll be pulling for the Rams - loved Matt Stafford when he was a Bulldog quarterback & all the years he suffered with the Lions didn't change my mind. Been disappointed with Sony Michel so far - he seemed much better when at GA with Nick Chubb carrying part of the load. Should be a good game no matter who ends up winning.Max - I can't help but smile at the thought of the falling iguanas but I'm glad I don't have to deal with them.
Weekend TV is hopeless right now. I'm glad I still have some interest in NASCAR even tho it's nothing like the NASCAR that captivated me years ago.
Too bad you aren't closer. I'm pretty sure there's a space heater or 2 at the old house that I'd be glad to pass your way just in case your furnace gets wonky again. Maybe you should pick 1 up if Walmart has some on sale when they switch over to fans & such in the near future.
Talking about icing the strawberries brought back memories of way back when - the citrus grove owners used smudge pots to try & save their crop when we had a rare freeze. I think I was in my teens when they started hosing the trees so the ice would keep the trees from getting "burned" by the cold wind & low temps.
I pretty much live off the frozen Marie Callender's dinners. Especially like the Vermont Mac 'N Cheese & the Pot Roast. Irish likes both of them too & lurks, hoping I'll share a bite or 2 with him.
I'm glad your daughter found a new friend & one who's housebroken to boot! Lucky for the dog too, he'll have a good rest of his life after a bad break losing his 1st home.
I bet your poor snake wonders what happened to his world. I doubt I'll have a shot at seeing any of ours before Mar. or early Apr. Too much chance of still having frost until then.Gordon - I don't understand Tom Brady - he's flirted with retirement for the past several years He's retiring, he's not retiring. Back & forth. I really don't understand his timing this time around - I heard he had a $15 million bonus if he stayed active until this coming Fri. Maybe he's made so much money over the years that he didn't need an extra $15 million?
How's Sylvia doing? I'm sure she's really glad to be at home.It was warm enough this afternoon that I decided to blow the leaves off both decks. Quite a few got blown off the roof last weekend. When I went out to the back deck I was shocked to find the fish had lost about 1/4 of their water. I think the plug gets loose when the top layer of water freezes. We have rain (maybe) coming the next 3 days but I doubt we'll get enough to refill the "pond" to the peak level. I may try & get outside early enough in the afternoon to see if the back faucet is thawed so I can top the tub off before I start running my errands.
First stop when I go out will be to go by & pay the taxes on the old house & then I'll swing back by to pay the booth rent. Had some last minute sales that helped my total for Jan. I'll also stop & pay the U-Haul rent while I'm next door. May even go in & see if I can bring a few things home to clean & price for the next trip to the booth.
The birds have really put a hit on all their seed - I'll be replacing everything with a quick stop at Walmart on the way home. Might even restock my frozen food while I'm there.
Zac & his little girl, Reagan, came tonight to take care of the trash for me. While here Zac hung 1 of my plate racks & fixed a kitchen drawer that was falling apart. He said he & his stepdad-in-law might come over this weekend to hang the other plate rack & finish putting together my hall shelves that they started a good while back. Once the building part is done, I'll be able to paint the whole area to make it look better.
Have already fed the zoo so need to head back to bed & book. Can't sleep in with my running plans tomorrow, so need to sleep in the immediate future or I won't get up early enough. Everybody take care & try to stay warm & safe. Later.
Susan
