It's in the 60s-70s here today and there's not a cloud in the sky. We're supposed to have nasty weather over the week end, which is sad, b/c I was going to take DGS#3 to the zoo. For a town the size of Tyler we have a wonderful zoo. Hope everyone else has a good day.

It's ugly here today. Was foggy,now it's just overcast and cold(for us)Was going to work in the gardens ,but it's too cold for these old knees.So i guess i'll just stay in and do what ever.

Vannie,

We have the same weather forecast. I'll enjoy today and get ready to be shut in this weekend.

The Dogs are all out sunbathing!

It's only 7.30 am here and looks like there's been some rain over night - yayyy! We've only had a couple of light showers since Christmas day and combined with very high temps everything is soooo dry.
As soon as I've finished my coffee I'll be taking Caddy for a quick walk and then I'll be heading to work so just a pretty ordinary day here for me.

We're supposed to get about 6 inches overnight. The morning commute will suck, big time. Then back down to -20F. I am so tired of this cold weather. And of my car's heater not working.

Hi Kath and everyone.

I guess we Texas folks are all having beautiful weather today. It's supposed to be 70º and the sun is shining brightly! My kids have hired a cleaning lady to come once a week for me and today her husband came over to work in the yard. He was only here 4 hours, but did so much more than I ask him to. My kids couldn't have given me a better gift to help me out until I'm back to normal (whatever that is *S*).

This week I have done some deep cleaning in my room. Now my sewing desk, computer desk and bookcase are all clean and organized! I even set up the i-Pod docking station that DS#3 gave me for Christmas. I'm really enjoying using it to listen to my music and the radio!

One of my best friends (from 4th grade to present) came over this morning. She brought homemade cinnamon rolls with lots of pecans. She let them rise a little more and then popped them in my oven. By 10:30 we were pigging out on the rolls and fresh coffee. Mmmmmmm delicious!

Don't know what I would do without my family and friends!

How wonderful MaryAnn. Makes me smile to know you are getting help with chores and having friends bringing goodies. Sure would like to have gotten in on those cinnamon rolls. I can smell them from here.Mmmmmmmm!

Yep, we've had 70's this week and due another high of them today. However, the wind is blowing in a front and it may not get that warm.

Vannie, sorry your weekend plans might be ruined by the weather.

Kathi, where are you that you can work in the garden at this time of the year? Are you in California?

Gayle, good your dogs have sun to bathe in. I can't wait for spring and I think Luther (our dog) would agree with me.

Hi Kiwi!

Dirtyfingernails, I hope you have a warm blanket or thick coat to wear in that car! I remember when I was stationed over in Germany, took me about 20 minutes or more to drive to work, longer in the winter/snow...I had an old Opal Kadet with a lousy heater that took forever to warm up. I had bundle up to get in the car, by the time I pulled into the parking lot at work it had finally warmed up.

Hi Maryann, sounds like you're having lovely weather there in TX. Your kids were sweet to hire you guys some help. Those cinammon rolls sound wonderful!

Summer, you all are making me wish I had settled in Texas!

Just got back from the store. Lauren invited a friend over, she lives out in the country, up a long, dirt, ice and snow covered drive. Not nearly as bad as where we used to live, though...and I kept telling myself that as we climbed up her drive. LOL!

Still snowing here, not really hard, which is good. The roads are pretty clear. Went to Krogers and they had a bunch of sales: milk, grapes, boneless chicken and a few things I don't need, like Pepsi. We also ate at the new Huddle House in town.
