Good morning. About 31*. Looking out the window, about an inch of snow but snow due to start again at 4 am.  I live in the city so hopefully the forecast of the extreme snow will be in the country. I have the car hidden in the garage for now. I was planning on going to a funeral on Saturday but it is going to be below zero F. I hate lifting the garage door to get the car in and out especially with the wrist healing up. I think I have become unwilling to do things with my years in seclusion. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!

I hope you are okay. We fear for your safety since the Georgia thing

Good morning. Waiting for the snow storm. Supposedly midnight tonight until Wednesday. The word is 5 to 7 inches. The only thing concerning this writer is the splint on my wrist and not being able to put a glove on that hand over the splint. I would not even shovel unless the snow plow makes it difficult at the mailbox. I would not even be concerned over that if it was not tax season. HUMBUG! I am planning an excursion to Walmart for something in about two hours, give or take 42 seconds. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!

Good morning. 30* heading for 33*. Tomorrow night, expect snow, maybe a storm. I hope it is not too bad as I still have the splint on and I can not wear a glove on my hand. Of course it is the fates that decide everything. Today, nothing planned. Maybe a walk in the neighborhood and hear a voice not electronically created. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!

hello, there is room to love when there is humility

in our hearts, today can be a day of positive changes in

your relationships and love to flow. Happy Saturday. with 

 all my love, take care, kisses, and

big hugs, maria

Good morning. Today is the actual day of the Epiphany. I went out this morning to throw out the water and pick up the mail. My mailbox is on the street so I have to actually walk outside. It is 30* but it felt nice out even though I was not dressed decently. Of course, 2am so no one is aghast at this. I missed going for the walk. Nothing planned for today except church later this afternoon. Maybe a walk later this morning even though it is the weekend. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet. Or, as Paul Harvey would say, now you know the rest of the story.

Good morning. I am in limbo this morning on this. Have a reasonable day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!

Good morning. It is 28* at 3am, and this is it for the day. I may put some gas in the car today. I will need some bananas by tomorrow. Perhaps the word is WANT. And maybe a constitutional around the area a little today. I miss the middle of the night walk. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!

Hello. Hump Day in the colonies. I am hoping to take the splint off today, and maybe coffee..... tomorrow. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!

About a year ago. No snow this year as of yet.

No one could ask more than what the people of the site have given. Bravery, compassion and strength of character. But I think what I'll miss most is the fun when it is over. The times we joked together, the drama on the site of who is seeing who. I'll remember the laughter more than anything. Although someday I will not be with you for the rest of the journey, I know that you'll be the same steadfast members of the site. I wish you a safe and speedy journey. My thoughts will be with you when I no longer type. SPOILER ALERT: this is not a resignation nor an obituary. Just a good thought for the new year.

Good morning. 25* heading for 35*. Uncertainty about today. Maybe church depending on how I feel about frost on the windshield. Tomorrow the countdown ends on an appointment I thought of cancelling. I will get the opinion of taking the splint off and thus whether to go back to the coffee. Of course it will be too late for the coffee tomorrow. I may wait a few more days for the coffee to get the wrist and arm back in shape. The big thing for me is to be able to put a glove on again with this cold weather. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!

it has started. The end of the holidays.

Hello, I pass by your, beautiful, page, I hope. that you have started, well, the year, new, loaded, from new,

illusions, may this year be better, and come true,

let the storm pass, but to learn to dance in the rain, it is the perfect time to turn the page, and

follow your dreams.May the New Year bring you happiness, health, peace, and happiness, with my best wishes,

friend, big hugs, take care, Maria

Happy Eve, or Old Year'sDay. Looks like a high of 33* today with some slight snow and sleet to make roads slippery. Right now it looks like a day of sequestration for this writer. I probably will not even take a constitutional as the moisture is due in about 10 minutes of this keystroke. Have a good day, and tonight, don't forget bail money. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!

Good morning. It is 25* heading for 35* with some snow showers later tonight. Yesterday, on one of my computers, I thought I would relent and allow Microsoft to update Windows for various reasons. Indeed it is not good for what I wanted and there is a negative which causes me inconvenience. I may undo the update and go back to the previous Windows. The update took 2 or3 hours. It does not take as long to go back. I have done this twice before. Massive depression that everything in the world is not perfect. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!

Hello, finally, it arrives, a few, days, from. joys,

With my love, I will be in good company,

Even if it lasts a little, I am satisfied, I wish you a FRIDAY, GREAT, Just like how the rain falls, from the sky, today, it will fall, like the stars, and let it fall

on you, your family, and your friends, a rain, of

BLESSINGS, to you, and I wish you the best,

Take care, big hugs, rain and joy, Maria

Good morning. 30* heading to 37*. I see some sun icons for the afternoon. I will probably go for bananas today, and maybe participate in putting the garbage out. Church at sunrise, maybe. I hate having to do the defrost thing in the morning. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!
