Good morning!
Mary, I hope they get that fire out and it doesn't get any closer to your sister!
We're 43° here and lovely rain is falling! We're loving it!
We're getting Dad's groceries first and then coming home to finish dedecorating and cleaning, even cleaning everything in my China cabinet and we'll be moving the furniture. It's a good day to do it.
I think the LQS needs you to go back.
Carol, don't listen to Mary, she LOVES how much I help her LOL she spends more money that way if I would've been in charge of her packing her projects, she wouldn't have run out of things to do
Well I'm cutting it down to the wire, I gotta get ready to go get those groceries.
I'd really like take out Chinese for supper, I'll have to see if they're open this evening. Otherwise I'll have to find something in the freezer, maybe I'll make pigs in a blanket LOL and some other finger foods.

Good wonderful snowy morning!

I fibbed earlier. We have at least 12 inches, Michael measured it, and it's still snowing lightly. Our neighbors brought out the big guns, the snowblower. They have done the sidewalk and Sarah will be down later to do the driveway and walk to the house. Aaron is on duty or he would be here too. Matt is giddy about all this snow. His side by side has had the snowplow attached, backed in the garage, so all he has to do is open the door and drive out, plow and put it back. But knowing Matt, he'll do the entire neighborhood! We are waiting on the city plows to come. They have a order on which streets get done first, main arteries, etc. We are down the line in the order. Hopefully the garbage trucks will make it through today. Our cans needs dumping!

Sarah's cat, Smudge is a hoot! He loves chasing snowflakes as they fall. He is just a very large kitten doing this! The snow is about 10 inches at Sarah's and Smudge is bounding and tromping through playing in it . He lastedt about 3 minutes in the snow, ran back in and headed for the nearest heater vent, that is on the floor and plopped himself smack dab over it and won't budge!

Dinner - a soup of some sort. I am leaning toward taco soup.

Mary - good luck 9n all that curved piecing. You will master it in no time. Hope you find some wonderful project at the LQS.

Tina- my curio cabinets are in need of cleaning. But they will wait awhile, as I will have to move everything when the new carpet is installed. The cabinets, the furniture, everything. I have no idea on how they will get moved or where they will go. We are redoing the entire main floor.

Becca - be careful on cleaning those ditches!

Michael took pictures of all our snow, but with the regular camera, so I have no idea when I can get them to share, but it is very pretty outside.

Stay safe, warm, and do something fun!

Hugs,
Jana

Here's one of my snow. - will add a couple more as I remember how!

I might have been a sloth yesterday, but made up a bit for it so far today. My stove is nice and shiny clean and the range hood is no longer a grungy mess and all my lower cabinets are washed and clean. I deserve a break for the moment. Still have uppers to do and the floor. Oh, even the backsplash is clean and grease free behind the range.

I just saw the news that Betty White died. Wow, she was so funny. I enjoyed her on the Mary Tyler Moore Show. I think that is the third cast member of that program to die this year.

The fires in Colorado are just devastating.

Maryz - Sounds like you have the project all figured out. I am sure you will master those curved pieces quickly. Have a Happy New Year.

Becca - Enjoy being home on NYE. I know I certainly enjoy it.

Tina - Snuggling with others sounds like a nice way to spend NYE at home. Hope you have a good one.

Lori - Weather has been partly cloudy here today. Good day to walk though. Chili sounds good for tonight's dinner.

Jana - Hope Ethan gets his results soon and is negative. The picture is beautiful!! The mountains in Southern California were white this morning too. We see them from some distance away though.

Vel - Enjoy your dancing!!

This morning I got my hair trimmed. It looks much better. I also drove to my sister's to drop off some food. She received 4 pieces of quiche, a couple servings of Autumn Soup, and a couple servings of Stuffed Pepper Casserole. Her freezer was fairly empty so hope it tides her over for a few days.

Resolutions - So you know that I lost 25 pounds last year and my doctor told me not to lose any more. He needn't have worried, because with the holidays I did put on four pounds. I shall lose them. However, I did not tell you that my New Year's resolution for 2021 was to walk 7,500 steps per day. I measured the number of steps using my I-Phone app and carrying my phone around with me. I have averaged 8,400 steps a day. That isn't to say I missed my goal of 7,500 steps on occasion, but I made up for it other days by walking a lot more. I intend to continue my resolution to keep walking. (My doctor has told me it is a myth you need 10,000 steps. He said 7,500 steps is what you need to maintain health.) So if someone says to you no one keeps New Year's resolutions you can say you know someone who did keep it and is very glad.

Tonight like most of you I will be staying home. We are having pizza, popcorn and ice cream. (Yes, it is too cold for ice cream, but pizza calls for some.)

Hope all of you have a Happy New Year!

Carol
