I have something cute to share about our 3 year old granddaughter. She had watched the children's cartoon, Calliou and the story was about Calliou playing with his grandpa. After it was over, my granddaughter looked at me with a bashful smile and said, "I love playing with Papa Wayne".

She also begged him the other day not to go to work. She just loves him! She keeps us laughing all the time!

We sure are missing our grandsons! They are in school and involved in after school programs so we see them briefly here and there. We will see a lot of them this summer though!

That is so sweet !!!! xo I am sure Wayne is a wonderful Grandpa !!! xo

I mentioned last week that I was reading two books: Hoda and Ten Years Later by Hoda Kotb, a news correspondent. In Hoda, the author details her "perfectly comfortable" imperfections, and says she is "most at home when things are somewhat flawed." She then goes on to describe the contents of her purse on one particular day: "loose dollar bills, jam-packed wallet, a winter hat, a hardback novel, a thank-you card with a dog on it, Advil, one glove, a travel zip bag with 3-ounce bottles, mints, my checkbook, cough suppressant pills, a bottle of perfume, deodorant, contact lenses, a comb, an apple, and a Christmas ornament...Yeah. That's my world." Later she adds that "one woman's kitchen is another person's crime scene." When I read about the Christmas ornament, I felt as if Hoda were one of us!!! Just had to share!

That sounds like a wonderful book !!!!! xo

I know who it is!!!
I am at the pines right now because I have to work tonight. However, I have been told I am not allowed to say anything!!!
But I can say you will be surprised and delighted!! So get over here tonight everyone.

That's funny too because I like the Packers, 49ers, Ravens, Colts, and the Panthers. I was okay with the Broncos, but I like them more now that Peyton is there. I also have some favorite players like Ray Lewis, Peyton, Aaron Rodgers, Favre, Warren Sapp, Y. A. Tittle, Jim Brown, and Rey Maualuga.

It's because when we didn't have a football team, I used to watch the football games from all over and some of my favorite quarterbacks were Montana, Elway and Farve; still are....

I agree, CM3. I was really smiling as I read this. Don't you just love to hear such sweet things?

back from the pines and getting ready to leave for work.

The sun is out and it looks so nice out now, weather warnings are all gone and it will go all the way up to 1c by the weekend.

Have a great time tonight everyone!!

I knew this blizzard was coming days ago! The weather website I follow is so good at predicting things ahead of time. We are just missing it! I think we're only supposed to get a half an inch or an inch most. With all of the excitement I kind of wish we were getting something.

I bought some strawberry marshmallows and some cherry morsels (like chocolate chips) yesterday. I think the morsels will be good (along with chocolate chips) in cookies.

I am thinking of getting the Ninja Cooking System. Does anyone here have one? If so, what do you think of it?

If that forecast holds, I sure hope I can work from home Friday. I don't want to be behind the steering wheel when there's a near-blizzard in progress. Nor stranded at the office, either. Our management is good about giving us leeway to work from home when weather conditions are treacherous.

Seawaters · Feb 6, 2013

I hope it works out for you, MC. We definitely want you to be safe and earn money at the same time!
