Wow Janice! We have -3* this morning and Kevin brought the kerosene heater in to help for a bit. LOL Good luck at the tournament today. Have fun.
Good morning ladies,
I am so not enjoying this cold snap. I don't think it has been this cold for a few winters. Spring can't come soon enough for me.
We are going to go see Kevin's mom in a little while. We normally go on Sunday, but they are calling for snow to move in tonight, so we figured we'd better go today.
I did laundry and got groceries yesterday. The constant in and out of the cold really wore me out. I was in bed by 9 last night.
That never happens. I even slept till 6 this morning. Guess I needed the rest. I feel fine today, so all is good.
I am going to start a crock pot of beans in a bit. Just had breakfast of a couple of mandarin oranges and some Greek yogurt. The plan for today is to work on the grandkids' drawstring backpacks and maybe start the pillowcases. I just need to put the grommets and strings in the backpacks. I washed up all the fabric I will need for pillowcases yesterday. Also washed all my throw rugs, that Angel had peed all over. Now that wasn't a pleasant job. I wasn't sure the odor and stain would come out of them, but they did. Nothing much on tv so I am sure we will spend the afternoon watching Christmas movies.
Never did decide on the Christmas candy. If I make anything too early, I will not stay out of it. Since we are having our Christmas celebration on the 21st, I may make some candy on the 20th and take it all with me. LOL I know myself. If candy is here, especially homemade candy, I am not going to leave it alone. LOL I will just make the basic standbys like fudge and peanut clusters, and maybe dip some pretzels in chocolate. I used to make peanut butter bonbons, date balls, coconut bonbons, and cherry mashes, but decided that is too much work. LOL Not to even count how much the ingredients cost in this day and age.
I figure simple is better as I get older.
You all have a great day and stay warm.
Blessings,
Winona
