Good Morning, MMC!!!! Well it looks like mother nature finally decided to have some pity on us and let the snow and sleet move on. It's still raining though but the promise of sun and 70 degree temps is in the 7 day forecast. Not to much going on here today. I think I'm going to go shopping for my niece's birthday gift and then come home and cook a ham for dinner. I need to make mom call and schedule a doctors appointment for next week too. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!

Hey there made!!! The rain finally moved out from here - for now! It's been nothing but sleet, snow, rain. And WOW we had some HUGE snowflakes. Would have been awesome in December!!!
Good luck with shopping! Ham dinner sounds yummy! What time should I be over? HA!
Have a GREAT day!

 

[Holiday]

Yep....it's snowing again!
Doesn't look like we'll get out of the mid 30's today.

Oh man!! We have 54º here already. Of course, that's the high for the day. It's supposed to drop off this afternoon. Where's spring? Stay warm!

 

[Holiday]

That's a great picture!

Thanks Edge! Hope you are having a good day!

I'm glad you had such a great weekend, and that the wedding was so much fun!

Thanks Brad!!!
I thought of you & Jacob when the groom played/sang for the father/daughter dance. Then the Dad played for the groom/mother dance. That will be you & Jacob some day. But not for a long time....

Thanks snowflake! I hope you had a great weekend too? How's sweet Har? "Happy" Monday!

You're welcome!
It was a very nice weekend, had fun catching up with my family!

Har is doing alright, she had an off day yesterday. Wasn't interested in taking her pills, but I finally managed her to get her to do so-that tells me she wasn't feeling that well. Not really sure why. Although I have noticed her coughing more in the past few days.
I'm hoping she is just tired, and has a much better day today.

Hello everyone. I just had a meeting with a fellow who was drinking from a Christmas mug. He pointed it out and asked me not to judge.
I assured him I am of like mind. I know there aren't many folks on MMC from Oklahoma, but I'm always hoping one day I'll run into someone by chance. How cool would that be?
We need a secret handshake or something.

Maybe we can identify as "Friends of Carl."

Oooh, or "The Cabal of the Christmas Camel"!

On second though, "cabal" sounds kind of sinister. I think your idea is best.

Thanks Edge! Hope you are having a good day!

Well for a Monday it has been good so far. Same to you.

Where is prancer? Haven't heard from him in several days. Off cooking some great feast for everyone at MMC I hope? Then we can excuse his absence in that case...

He's one of us. We do need some sort of Santa signal.

Awesome! So you got to go visit with your parents? Maybe that's Har's problem. She's just worn out from playing with Jazzie? Praying she has a much better day today!!! xx

Busy as a bee!! Merry I scored a complete 1st edition set of Hardy Boys hardcover books. Most look like they never even had a page or cover opened.

Whoa ... 1st edition as in 1930s? They would be fascinating, because the Hardy Boys and Nancy Drew mysteries have been updated and "sanitized" at various points in their history.

That takes me back ... When I was little, my parents had a small bookcase of books they had had when they were young. I read some of them. (I fell in love with "Bambi.") The books included two or three 1930s-1940s Nancy Drew mysteries; I can still see the blue covers with Nancy's silhouette. She also had a couple of Bobbsey Twins books and a Honey Bunch book, plus a couple of children's mysteries, one featuring the Blondie characters and one featuring a cartoon character called Scarlett O'Neil, who could make herself invisible by pressing a secret nerve in her wrist. There was also an edition of "Little Women" with a disclaimer that it had been printed in accordance with WWII paper restrictions. Gosh, I wish I still had those books!

Yes, we had an awesome time there, as always!

I hope that's all it is. The cough worries me, though.
I'm sure she's bummed, too. She misses them after we leave, or they leave.
And we have moving boxes everywhere in the house, garage, etc. Piles of things we're donating, throwing, putting in rummage sales, etc. I'm sure that makes her nervous, too.

Thanks for the prayers!

For some reason I think the last 4 or 5 Mondays have been cloudy. It'd help a bit if we had the sun out on a Monday.

Friends of Crash Murphy
(Because lots of people are named Carl, but there's only one Crash Murphy.)
