HAPPY NEW WEEK!
I hope everyone has a good week.
Winter has arrived on my patch. We had 2.5 inches (6.35 centimeters) of snow with 40 mph wind gusts on Thursday. It has melted now.
I left a carrot in the opening of the groundhog's burrow before the storm, but he didn't eat it. He's probably gone into hibernation. I left his carrot, in case we get the brief warm up predicted for Sunday and Monday.
I laughed this morning. Even with the cold, there was a lone surviving super mosquito flying around my bedroom.
Love and hugs to everyone!
AQ how lovely, you must be so proud.
HEATHER a beautiful book but also sad.
RUSTY She will not have it that she is anything special and keeps reminding us she has had some bad moments. If anyone is interested the op is called 0ssiointegration.
dibnlib - I looked up ossiointegration. Sounds very cutting edge and amazing. I have been following your friend's progress ever since her accident, and can't be more amazed about how she has coped, both physically and mentally. She is a very special person - whatever she says.
Heather - I remember really enjoying 'Ring of Bright Water' - lovely book. Then I played golf on a fairly small course in Scotland a few years ago, and somewhere on the course was a statue of an otter and a plaque to Gavin Maxwell, who lived locally. (can't remember exactly where the course was!) Aha - just looked it up! Montieth, near Newton Stewart.
didnlib, I also looked up that word. I wish your friend well. Such a courageous lady.
Morning all: Way overdue in responding. OH ended up in the ER on Monday, having gone to Costco (having also forgotten that I told him I was going that afternoon!) and had an attack of the wobblies going around the huge store. I was at the gym, got a call from Costco, who'd called the meds but they waited for me to get there before the paramedic confirmed OH was off to the local hospital for checkup. Three hours later we're home. My prescription: Do PT exercises for heaven's sake!!!!
We had TxGiving on Wednesday which granddaughter did at our house. Was really sweet of her and very yummy. She's wonderful. Then daughter got sick yesterday. Better now but...
Meanwhile: Looks like Diane may be having bad weather in her area.
PatO; Hope you're able to get out in the car today...
AQ: Our Black Friday sales now seem to go on through Christmas. Much talk this year about "is this really a bargain?" Hope you got nice fridge. Ours is two days older than God and still working; darned awkward space arrangements but can't see replacing just because it's old, hard to organize, and doesn't match rest of kitchen. :-) (Have the same issue with OH now I think of it.) That critter the cop rescued must've been freaked out by all the surrounding shrieks. Bravo to Ms. 13!!
OG: Glad you got out for shopping without any hassle.
Rusty: Chatsworth looks fabulous. A very rich history indeed. Wonder where the money came from for the many changes/upgrades/etc over the centuries. Multiple and maybe some dubious sources?? Still, it's a gem. Would love to visit. Read a book about the Mitford sisters and their various shenanigans.
dibnlib: Well, your friend is too modest. We are all in awe. Im not sure I'd cope as well with what she's been through.
Heather: Hope you're over the annoyances pertaining to recent houseguest. :-)
That's me caught up on here - I hope.
Take care all.
ANNETTE Glad you both got home safe and sound.
