A cold Sunday morning…

This is what I woke up to this morning… hail!  I actually woke up because the wind was so loud about 6:30 this morning. 
 
Then about 7:15 this morning we had about 4 or 5 hail storms roll through. 
The dogs didn’t even want to go out.  They ran out and turned around and came right back in. 

Aren’t they [...]

A cup full of kindness…

Did you hear about this?  I just thought it was pretty cool and wanted to share it others in case they didn’t see this…

BLOOMINGTON — Call it the spirit of the season. For more than three hours Tuesday, drive-through customers at the Starbucks on Bloomington’s east side didn’t pay for [...]

Wake up Cassie…

I just finished Cassie’s Grape Shrug, and I had to wake her up to have her try it on, and so I could take her picture!   

She didn’t want to get up, but as soon as I got the shrug on her she just wanted to show her daddy how cute she looks. 

He wasn’t impressed… he [...]

A Hot Shower and A Cookie…

Saturday…  The sun is shining today and the sky is all blue!  Well, it doesn’t look so blue in this picture, but it was, and it was very calm on the lake.

Well, last night I did stay up and bake cookies!  Butterscotch and Chocolate Chip cookies.  Last weekend before the storm, I stopped in at [...]

H a l l e l u j a h !!!!

Yep, as soon as we started shutting everything off for the night, Rick looked out the window and proclaimed “we have power”!   I have the washer going, the TV is back on, and even the heater is going!  If I wasn’t so tired I’d bake cookies!   OK, I’ll stay up a little later tonight [...]

Nope, not yet…

We still have no power!  This is day 5 – Friday – the end of a very, very long week.  Our local PUD is saying that we might get power tonight or sometime tomorrow.  I’m thinking I’ll sleep in tomorrow.   The temperature is dropping and the skies are clearing, so it should be [...]

No Power Yet…

Well here we are on Thursday, and still no power.  Actually we are more fortunate than most because hubby wanted to make sure back in September that he would be able to work, just in case the power should go out.  So we have a generator wired in to our utility panel in the garage.  [...]

Wind + Rain = No Power!

Well this past weekend I spent all my time working on dip mixes, because this week was to be our company bazaar.  So I didn’t bother with the laundry or the vacuuming or anything house cleaning like, because I could do that later Monday or Tuesday night… so I thought!
Saturday it snowed… but it didn’t [...]
