Just popping in to say hello to all my Christmas friends. Hope everyone is having a good Saturday. Mine is starting out well, as my wife mentioned, our pipes thawed out and it looks like they didn't bust, so that's a good thing. Just looking forward to tomorrow and watching the Packers beat the Steelers.

Welcome back!

I don't remember where I saw this posted at in the site here last night oh who posted it but I was up way to late going through it and looking and cross checking stuff in it. I had a royal blast doing it. Those of you that have not done so need to check this out some very cool old pictures. Plus music plays the whole time you are in there.

Thanks for the link. I saved it to my favorites. I saw putz houses on the link. I made a couple of them this year and Snow-in-Texas posted them on the forums. I need more practice to make them better but it was the first time I attempted it. They were made with cereal boxes.

Good afternoon all.... Made another trip back to the Hallmark stroe near my work on my lunch break yesterday and scored again. Got 8 more ornaments for a buck each. Some for our main tree and the rest are for gifts.
I've been busy cleaning today getting things ready for tomorrow. We have a small group coming over for the games tomorrow evening. We orded pizzas and a lot of wings and tonight I will make the dips and cupcakes.

Well let me get back to my cleaning. Hope everyone has a great evening!

GUESS WHAT?????

We have hot water in our bathroom. The sun and above freezing temps fixed our pipes. I had the faucets opened and suddenly a gush of hot water came out about 30 minutes ago and no busted pipes! cheesy

Thanks for everyone's help!

I am so glad !!!!! This is such great news !!!! cheesy

 

[Christmasstar]

it's snowing again....started about 1/2 hour ago

 

[Seawaters]

The wind has kicked up here in northern California, so no chance of snow, especially with the warm temperature! I am not fond of wind except to use it as an excuse for a bad hair day! I hope you each enjoy your afternoon. We will be going to Mass and then come home for a dinner of beef stroganoff.

I'm glad to hear the pipes are fine with no damage. I've been thinking about you and those pipes.

Made! That is mother nature being happy! cheesy

Around here, she's MAD. Over 90 roofs have collapsed in Massachusetts from the snow and ice load. I'm so relieved our friend was able to come over today and push some of the snow off our roof so we don't have to worry about a collapse.

Just had a buddy from out of town pop in and he is going to spend the night. He just got married last summer so I am glad he came even if he did not call first.lol all single guys out there know what I mean.Once one of your buddies gets married you may as well write them off for at least a year! glad to see him again and his wife too!

Good evening,

It was a very, very busy day today I am exhausted. The snowstorm that was supposed to happen today turned out to be rain and freezing rain, so there is huge puddles everywhere, and I need to get back on the roof and get more snow off, we have a leak in our ceiling in the kitchen, we have an ice dam right now and last week when I shoveled it off the roof it ended the leak that was dripping into the basement, I am freaking out about this right now, especially with the news of all the roof collapses in my state. Now the newspaper is calling the storm headed this way for Thurs-Fri the "Beast in the East" it has a chance of being "HUGE" according to the paper, we have nearly 4 feet of snow on the ground right now where are we going to put it, and you cannot see pulling out of streets, parking lots because the banks are so tall. This is truly the winter of our discontent at this point.
There is still one house around here that has their tree up and lit in the window, it is still so beautiful.

Have a good night!

How did I forget to mention this but we went to Dollar General yesterday and they had all Christmas merchandise marked down to 10 cents each. Regular price 50 cents to 35 bucks! Of course I didn't see the $35.00 items left.

We got 3 Christmas ornaments, 2 Christmas books, Christmas puzzle, Christmas toy, 2 Santa hats and 2 cinnamon scented Christmas brooms all for 10 cents each. I had no plans to buy anymore Christmas goodies since I have too much but some of this is going to my grandkids so all is good!

You can never have too much!
