Happy Monday

Good morning. Looking out the window, the white crusty stuff which was on my sidewalk last night has left. It is above freezing so maybe everything in the world is back to normal. It was extremely slippery last night walking through the parking lot and across a street to go into church. Forty-five minutes later when exiting, it was worse. Driving was alright but walking was a challenge. I eventually returned to the fortress. I was going to salt the porch and sidewalk around the porch but decided to wait for today. I would have had to go into the garage and fight the darkness. And of course I knew the ice would melt as it is not the real winter ice. See December 21st in my colony. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet! 

Good morning, wishing you a beautiful Sunday.

Good morning. It is Friday the 13th. Remain sequestered. I know the bad luck day for the Italians is the 15th of every month, regardless of the day but this is the bad luck day for the civilized world. I am starting out at -2 with a high of 18*F. Tomorrow I am expecting snow and sleet. This can't last because it will be winter soon.  Tomorrow I shall activate the car from being sequestered in the garage. I received my first Christmas car the other day. This year I think I shall re-card my Christmas cards, like some people re-gift. Later today I am hoping to get out of the fortress and move around somewhat. Be careful out there today. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!

On a recent trip to the grocery store, I had to travel through the aisles following some acute sales that made me feel like my brain was sloshing around in my head! Though the sales were awesome, I felt dizzy and nauseous, and I couldn’t wait until  was through the checkout and out to the parking lot. On this journey of life, we all scale mountains of hardship, pick my way through the rugged land of aging and physical diminishment and traverse the rough country of some of our relationships. Sometimes it seems we finally surmount one mountain or slog through a bumpy patch just to have the next challenge arise quickly before us. How reassuring is today’s internet as it transforms the precarious path of our lives, accompanying our every step!

Good morning, wishing a beautiful Thursday.

Greetings. It is -3* heading to 9* later. The weather people say it feels like -16. It is too early for this. I have the hot water dripping in the shower to prevent freezing. Magic number for that is zero. I have cancelled my exercise. I have been feeling a cold come on. I had a sore throat for about an hour yesterday. This year when getting near zero, I shall not be doing the walk for exercise, maybe a constitutional around the neighborhood for gossip. I have even hidden the car in the garage. First time since last winter. I hope this is not going to be like a couple of years ago where the toilet drain froze. And the few times over the years when the water froze coming in from the street. Humbug! I may venture out to the street to see if I got any mail yesterday and to toss out the water. I never get any worthwhile mail anyway. Of course I am moving toward the time of year when the tax stuff comes in the mail. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!

Snow dusting; going to -2*.

Good morning. Happy Hump Day............................... Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!

Hope your week is filled w/fun,
smiles & anticipation:) *hugs*

Good morning. It is 27* heading to 29* later. Considering the next couple of days, this is good. I am pondering walking over to church but it does not look promising right now. I have about an hour and a half to contemplate. A constitutional around the neighborhood later, maybe, but that would be it for the rest of the day. After the walk this morning, I prepped some spareribs. Major accomplishment. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!

Good morning, wishing you a beautiful Tuesday.

Good morning. Warm this morning, 38*. High 40s later. Then the cold comes, including one day when it is going to hit zero. I will have to let the hot water in the shower drip. I am thinking of going to the Cathedral this morning for church. Being yesterday was a holy day, it is going to be celebrated today. It is optional so it is a game time decision. I like optional. And the Cathedral is impersonal. Have a good day. Ciao for now and watch your wallet!

Good morning, wishing you a great start to your week.
