Common Ground Coffee House #106

Happy Valentine's Day!

No school today. It rained yesterday and froze last night, then we had more snow all day. I'll gladly share my snow with anyone. Just come on over!

Ann--at least it's not your gas that's going off! Keep warm.

Convicted 1--Maybe the big breakfasts are a WV thing? I'm never wide awake enough to cook much in the morning. My hubby has to go to Biscuit World if he wants all that, poor thing. Now for dinner, that's a different story.

The main roads are clear so we will still have our church service tonight. This weather is wreaking havok on the piano, though. The keys keep sticking and playing it is kind of like trying to drive a car with a flat tire. Guess if I mess up I can always blame the piano.

 

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow......

Every road in the county is closed - officially 30 inches since midnight last night - and now the wind is starting to blow. There is a little town just north of where I work that got 141" last week! That's twelve feet for you math challenged folk.

Work was closed today and tomorrow looks promising for another day hot chocolate and shoveling.......

 

I have a new computer. I don't care for the keyboard. It makes me seem like I don't know how to type.

Tomorrow is mine and my husband's two year anniversary. It is also my mom's birthday. I usually take flowers out to her grave. I hope I will be able to tomorrow.

My husband is adopting my oldest daughter. It was supposed to be on Friday, but the attorney told me on Monday that a problem came up. The judge split his calendar, and had to move it back to Thursday.

What better anniversary gift than to make the adoption final? It is so perfect.

 

Prodigal Daughter,

Congratulations on your anniversary. I hope you have a lovely day.

We had to get a new computer last summer and it took me a while to get used to the new keyboard too. I felt rather as you do ... that I couldn't type. I am sure you will get plenty of practice posting here at BB!

I just said a prayer for you that the adoption proceedings go smoothly for you. Please let us know how it all goes.

Blessings

Good morning, all!

Well, Thursday....and this is the day I try to go on all decaffeinated tea. It's surprising how much I seem to depend on that caffeine boost in the mornings. I just got in from the horses and cleaning the stalls and such and I'm sleepy! This is NOT my sleepy time of day!

I know Chris is up, but I'm having a V8 before tackling him and his room. Barry is still asleep. He is totally a night owl.

Sunny and cloudy both. Wonder how Rob and his wife got along with that fantastic Valentine package he built for her?

Finished the cross-linking formatting for Barry's article early this morning. That will be a nice surprise for him. Once it's up, I'll link it here. I don't expect anyone to really understand most of it, but I sure do want you to admire the formatting! Fishing for compliments? Nooooo, not me! LOL....

While I was outside with the beasts I was praying for several of you. And God bless all of you. Have a lovely day and stay warm, please.

edit: just read the last part of your post, Ann (I TOLD you I was sleepy!) and that is fantastic. Can't wait to hear, but I know you are right. That's EXACTLY how God works!

 

---somewhere else.:laugh: It's rather chilly here today--only in the 50's. I actually had to wear a long sleeved shirt when I went out today and long pants instead of the usual shorts.

 

Hi, Hello and HoWdY:wavey:

We're here in South Georgia, cold for us but alot warmer than some of you! Goodness, it's easy to become accustomed to this milder, no snow type of winter. Sometimes an inch or two of snow once a year would be nice, but that rarely happens. In the 8 1/2 years we've been here, there have been light flurries about three times. Carl saw it, but I didn't.:tear:

Yesterday was the completion of the 14 day Xeloda cycle. Today is day one of the 7 day "rest period" portion of Cycle One. Praying the stuff is doing the job and the dosage won't have to be increased. I've not been driving because of dixxy spells. If that and occasional light nausea and light headache is my only side effects, I think I can handle it.

Y'all stay warm and dry!:wavey:

 

That explains it, Gayla! DIXXY is the southern form of DIZZY, right???

God bless you!

 

Um . . .yeah. . .that's it!:laugh: :laugh: :saint: :type:

 

Now why is it Women keep saying that to me?

Good Morning Everybody,

It is 0 degrees here, and I'm afraid to look at the wind-chill.

WOW!! Where I live [South-Central MI] really got hammered by that storm. We ended up with about 10" of the white stuff, however; where we were in Grand Haven [by Muskegon, MI for those who have a map] we only got about 4".

You have my sympathy Sue about all your snow, I made a whole pot of Hot Cocoa just for you!

We had a great time. The scenery was fantastic, the inn was as charming as anybody could ask for, and the food was great.

You should have seen my Wife's face when I got down on my knees[not hard to do-but getting up was an adventure] and proposed to her.BTW she said yes.

I KNEW IT!!! All I have to do is leave the coffeehouse for a few days and my Cuz volunteers to cook. Isn't her cooking great?,as long as she doesn't have to stand over a stove?

Since I beat her in here this morning how about....
Scones with berries, hashbrown casserole, eggs, waffles, and sausage gravy and biscuits.

Time to catch up on things over here, and get to my chores.

 

Thank you to everyone, and happy belated anniversary to you I am blessed.

Everythign was perfect. My baby is an Oliver now. She has a last name. I always felt bad that my name changed, but she just had my maiden name. Not anymore though. My husband was glowing in teh courtroom. You would swear he was pregnant. lol.

 

Good morning everyone!

Basketball and birthday ice skating with Jenna today! I won't get to check in again till late, late!

Cuz, it's a good thing you are back cause not only did I push my limits cooking the other day, but today we'd be eating pizza and birthday cake!

Helen, tell Anna Happy Birthday for me! I hope you survived her party!

Sue, stay warm! I see another storm is headed your way!

Gayla, you make sure that you are taking care of yourself. I'm praying that you have good results from this med and glad that so far the side effects have not been to troublesome.

Prodigal, I'm glad all was settled the way you wanted it! :applause:

 

We sent home some very sleepy girls -- I think they chattered until about 2 a.m. The laundry is started from all the sheets and blankets, animals are fed, I'm sitting here with....finally....my cuppa tea. But they had a wonderful time and we have tons of macaroni and cheese leftover for Chris to eat for how many days????

Sweetheart little ladies, though. All of them tiny, small-boned, and like little elves jumping around. It was fun watching them.

Overcast day and I'll be inside mostly, just cleaning. It's a nice day for that.

Or napping....LOL

God bless you all.

 

Good Afternoon Everybody,

It is 18 degrees and snowing here. :BangHead:

Congratulations Dale & Sue. Are you still a blushing bride Sue?

We've got guests coming over for the afternoon, so I brought in Ranch Oven-Fried Chicken with Warm Corn Relish, Cheddar Biscuits, and Lemon Bread Pudding [just what they're going to have.]

Gotta run.
