Good Thursday morning, my Christmas friends!

It's a beautiful day here in Bellville! The sun is shining, it's just above the freezing mark and the wind isn't blowing. I think I'll put on a hardhat and spend some time in the plant today!

Nancy just called and said her mom is cooking homemade soup this evening, and we're invited. Mrs. Hilda makes the BEST homemade soup ever! Can't wait!

I hope y'all have a great day! cheesy

Enjoy dinner and your visit!

Good Morning All!!

Well I finally got to do some catching up this morning in Flagstaff, AZ. We stopped here for the night and will head on to Phoenix in a bit. Bud has a 2pm show there. Then we move on to Tucson and will stay there for the weekend.

It's neen a strange adventure. Coming through north Texas, somewhere west of Abilene, our brand new car with just the mileage from our trip plus the 28 existing when we bought it, started acting squirrelly. Transmission sounding like it's getting stuck in third gear and revving really high. The timing sounds strange too. I switched to manual so I could physically shift gears and that was no better.

The car is supposed to average at 38 to 40 miles per gallon which it was when we started and we're getting 20, sometimes not even that. That's on open flat roads with the cruise control set on 55.

Coming through New Mexico something hit our windshield, we're guessing a rock but there was no one else around, but hit hard enough to break the windshield.

About :20 minutes after the rock we experienced our first sand storm. This looked like something off The Mummy with Brandon Frasier. ROFL I kept waiting to see the face appear in the sand against the setting sun. So covered in dust both inside and out, we persevered on to Blanca, CO. It's a tiny mountain town.

Coming up around the mountain about 9pm, blizzard. Yeah, not kidding... blizzard. We were very happy at that moment that we bought a car with all wheel drive. So we left Texas that morning at 30 degrees, drove through 80 degrees and arrived to step out of the vehicle arpund 10:30pm to -18. ROFL

And no, mountain people don't cancel school for it. Got up the next morning to do his show at 8:45. LOL

Been all through southern Colorado, all across northern New Mexico and from north to south in Arizona. It has been beautiful and I get to see it all with Bud so that's awesome! Literally. LOL

We'll be heading to a local service center/dealership in Tucson to make them fix our car or swap for another before we both snap. I called the dealership where we bought it in our hometown and have left messages. No one has bothered to call us back. GRRRR!!!

It remains to be seen how I'll be getting back. I was supposed to ride back with a friend who was picking me up in Phoenix on her drive from California back to Florida. That was the plan since early December. Yesterday she calls to tell me she doesn't think she can do it. Info that would have been useful to me a week ago. And yes she'd been reconsidering since New Years. Priced airline tickets last night. *sigh* Buying a ticket with less than 7 days before the flight leaves me with few options. Still trying to get something workable. I have to... absolutely MUST be back by Wednesday night at the latest.

Yup, that about sums it up. A dead one description of how things become around here. Ohhhh, and don't forget about toilet paper, bread and milk runs as well......

I still cannot solve the puzzle to why when it snows, it causes people to want to eat more bread, drink more milk and have to wipe their buns more often......:lol:

:lol:

I'm watching the news and if the weatherman says more snow and arctic air one more time,
I may need a new tv!!!! LOL!!!!!


Are we really only half way through winter?

Good afternoon!

Hope everyone is doing well today, and staying warm! Or cool for some of our friends like JBJ & Virginia.

I just went to Walmart to pick up some cold medicines, vitamins, and preventative things like Airborne & EmergenC. I also got the chicken noodle soup, crackers, and sprite. Think we are set!

Thanks for the get well wishes & prayers, Adrian says thanks as well!

I also felt it necessary to check the Christmas clearance, and am I ever glad I did!

Here is what I picked up:

5 Christmas shirts, tinsel, a Santa ornament, chocolate nut mix, and candy canes, all for $12.00!
That lifted my spirits!

I'm going to lay down for a bit, but sending lots of love to you all~
So blessed to have your friendships, Christmas family.

xx

[snowflake22]

LOL!! I think so! Didn't Winter just begin?

I mean, it may have shown it's face earlier than it was supposed to, but that is life in the Midwest

Sending you hugs, buddy!!

Snowflake- You are supposed to be napping, so get off of MMC!!! LOL!!! :wink:

 

[Christmasstar]

You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, I was wrong! Harold joins in later, but it's Marcellus who taught it to 'em! Time to get out the DVD again!

LOL, you got LittleCS and me talking about it and we want to get it out to watch again too.

 

[sugar142286]

Well after years of talking and planning, we have decided this summer we will be making the trip to Florida to go to Disney. Anyone been? Any tips to pass on to a first timer?

That's so awesome! I've never been there, but we plan on taking the kids there in two years, so I'll be asking you for tips!

Yeah, it definitely started earlier than it should have. We are already 3 inches over all normal snowfall for the entire winter!!


Hugs to you too, Buddy!!!! I know you are dealing with it too!!!!

 

[sugar142286]

Thank you.
The doctor said Maggie's heart looks fine. There are definitely signs of the airway disease though. We will have to fiddle with the medicine and hopefully figure out what will help her to be more comfortable.

Praying for comfort for her and that the doctor can get things figured out.

Good afternoon/evening everyone...hope yeah all are having a fantastic day so far...Its friday already tomorrow..weekend is getting closer guys

Hi Frosty!

 

[sugar142286]

Good Afternoon MMC!!!!! It's been snowing like crazy here!!! It was like a whiteout at some points on our way to mom's doctors appointments. They actually had to close down the interstate because there was so many wrecks on it. It looks like one more heavy band and then we should be done with this clipper though. There is more to come though. We'll have about 3 inches today and then we are supposed to get another 1 to 2 inches tomorrow and then 3 to 5 on saturday. Crazy!!! Mom's appointment went well though. The heart monitor came back fine. The doctor still wants her to do a sleep study but her insurance won't pay for it at the hospital. So they are going to try and get her approved for a home sleep study through their office. She has also been complaining about being more forgetful, so they are going to do an EEG next tuesday along with a few blood tests. Now I'm off to get some stuff done around here. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!

Glad your mother's appointment went well. Hoping she can have the sleep study done. Stay safe in that weather!

They moved the countdown thread! Threw me into a panic for a second!

I hope Crown thinks to remind Carl that we've moved! :smile:
