It's 29, cold. Dressed for my 8mile walk/run....gloves, ear warmer, hoodie. DH left for work early. He's on a job where they don't want ANY construction noise, get there before the workers do. Went to bed @ 9pm so we could get up early.

They're offering $20 off home delivery of groceries(they don't deliver in my little town), so they will let U pick up your order @ a drive through window. Thought I might try it today, since I'll be in that area of a nearby town. I'm wondering how long I'll spend picking out my groceries online?

I hope you have a good day Kathleen! Wonder, how your thumb is. Cold here, supposedly 40, but the grass looks frosted, and Charlottes car too. She isn't working today, Veterans Day, thus, we will go for a bike ride later, when it has warmed up nicely.

Nicole, I know, I can go through the store faster, than finding all I want online.

46 here this morning. High of 52 but going down to 29 tonight. I have a dinner to go to tonight. Have to dress accordingly........that changes what I was planning on wearing.

Morning All, I have been awake since around 4, but did not hop out of bed to stay until around seven. The lowest I have heard for here was 24 out this morning. The sun is trying to come out though. I need to try and put my new short drapery up over my kitchen sink. I got a heavier rod for it yesterday. That should help out with some of the chilly weather. As always, there is housework to do. Izzi had her dry crunchies this morning. She is ten years old this month and doing very well. That is according to the vet. I too think she is doing very well. Sometimes I cook her some veggies and she has her special food I get her at the pet store. She does not eat much of it, being small.

My breakfast was a bowl of chili soup that my daughter Cheryl made and gave to me! Very good on a chilly morning. Hope everyone enjoys this beautiful day!

I really enjoy reading what folks are up to, and it inspires me to get going, thank you! Super crazy windy here today, but not super cold. Got a list of chores... hope everyone has a good day. And many thanks to all our Veterans and families on this Veterans Day weekend.

Definitely chilly here this morning too. After breakfast I put out the flag for Veterans Day. It's a new one, with "anti-wrapping-around-the-pole-in the wind" feature. Hope it helps, I always had to check it many times a day to make sure it wasn't all tangled. The pole is longer, too. We'll see.

My electric garden cart has been in the shop, they called to say it was ready to be picked up. Yesterday I arranged for a friend with a pickup to go get the cart, but at the last moment before loading it, I asked a question about the charger port. Good thing. It wasn't fixed like they thought it was. Sooooo returned home without it. Being so cold today, I might just wait until tomorrow to go fetch it. Too cold to work outside anyhow.

I have plants yet to cut back (still green!) and mulch to put down. Since I never got around to gathering leaves and making leaf mulch, I may have to settle for bags of bark mulch. The ground is pretty warm yet, tho. It's just that winter seemed to sneak up on me this year.

Housekeeping chores here too. Maybe I'll get a few plants moved into their permanent homes. The deer have suddenly started chowing down on plants that they never bothered in the past. Those need to go into the fenced yard.

Housework never ends. Yet how bored I'd be if I woke up and found a fairy waved her magic wand.LOL. I just sent hubs to the laundramat to wash a heavy queen size down filled comforter. I told him to dry it also LOL which will have him out of my hair for hours. The boys had no school yesterday or today and are currently playing battleship the board game.

I going to make a apple slab pie today but I'm using Pillsbury crust. Doing a few loads of laundry, ok more than a few. I'll iron a few sheets and pillowcases so I can keep ahead always having a set ready for all the beds, cook dinner and dinner clean up..that's my day. Boring but I like boring because it generally means no ones sick. I just don't know what to have for dinner and I'm running out of time.

Have a good day everyone.

Kath I hope your busy at work and the time flys by.

Moni, the day went by fast, had over 60 calls just myself alone! My finger is fine, healing up. MamapinkyO, what is apple slab pie? Doing laundry now, towels, realized I would run out if I didn't do some and my next day tonight.

This morning me and my sil and my great niece went to a Vintage Market. I didn't buy anything but it was fun looking around. The other day I bought a shirt off of an ad on Facebook for $7.00. One booth at the market was selling the same shirts for $28.00!!!!! All three of us went out to lunch at Cracker Barrel which was pretty good.

I went to Kohl's and bought my son a pair of tennis shoes with my coupons. Just got done using the same coupons on-line for a shirt for my dad and a bath towel for my great niece. I also went to Eddie Bauer and bought my daughter a vest. I had the day off work and it was nice to get some gifts bought.

Mama, you iron sheets and pillowcases.... YIKES, I have never ironed sheets. Pillowcases a few times, but got rid of those.

My sheets and pillow cases, as well as towels go straight back on the bed/towel rack, when they come off the line.
