Who have I talked with this week? Jack, Veronica, Shelly, Mary, Giuseppe, Marcel, Zack, Linda, Amy, Warren, my Sweet Bear, and Dr. Z.
What random thought occurred to me this week? I remember being deeply disappointed as a kid, that comic books were not funny. I expected them to be funny. I only bought one.
Who did we hear from this week? We received Bob and Kel's holiday letter, mailed before Christmas, most of it arrived in the mail this week, not all of it, but most of it.

| Yes, I know the photo is blurry, the non-blurry one has my actual address on it. |
What have I been up to in the kitchen? We had a couple of days of not cooking. Steak and baked potato, bacon and scrambled eggs, a chicken and rice casserole that was not very good. Beef stew. Pizza rolls - more on those in a couple of weeks, and roast turkey with homemade cornbread dressing.
Who am I sending healing thoughts to? Larry a neighbor, who has received conflicting test results, and is still in pain.
Who deserves a slap this week? One of my credit cards was compromised, the bank denied the charge, sent me a message and is replacing the card. Fraudsters deserve a slap, not a pardon.
What was the outcome of the storm? We had probably 6 or 7 inches of snow and sleet, frozen precipitation. There is a layer of fluffy snow with a crust of slippery ice on top. The weather is staying well below freezing, with intermittent sunshine. It will take longer than usual to clear or melt because of the temperatures. That is the freezing temperature of water, if it was the freezing temperature of oxygen we would not need to worry about the weather. Fortunately we didn't get freezing rain, an ice storm is probably the worst storm I have ever endured.
I loved comic books. I didn't laugh at them but they were serious literature to me.
ReplyDeleteI've learnt rather a lot about snow and ice this year from northern hemisphere bloggers. A blogger in NJ has ice at the bottom of fluffy snow.
The slippery top layer was rather slippery.
DeleteIt certainly is beautiful if you don’t have to drive. Ice storms are awful. We were on our way to a party in Connecticut one night when the parkway suddenly turned to black ice. We were relieved to be able to safely get to an exit and we went back home.
ReplyDeleteIn Lexington we were without power for a couple days in the ice.
DeleteWe ended up with around 10". Maybe 3-4 more this weekend I hear now.
ReplyDeleteWell, it is winter. Send the bothers my regards!!!!!!!
The current forecast here is cold, but most likely no or very little snow this weekend.
DeleteWe got about an inch of snow and the ice storm that followed did not follow. It's cold, but it's sunny.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to Pizza Roll!!
The Pizza Rolls were good. Even better warmed in the microwave the next day.
DeleteGlad to hear that the ads are going though I realise that in your perilous financial position every dollar counts. You can take the boy out of Michigan but you can't take Michigan out of the boy.
ReplyDeleteOnce a stingy bastard, always a stingy bastard.
Delete🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
DeleteBrrrrr....that does look very cold out there. I'm glad you didn't have an ice storm. The snow will be hard enough to deal with. Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteA good reason to stay close to home for a few days.
DeleteIt's very cold here in Illinois but we haven't had a lot of snow - at least the sun is out which helps.
ReplyDeleteSpring will be here in a few weeks.
Deletewe're up to about 17". I am SO sore from snow removal.
