Dennis’s cousin Laura, who lives across the street from our old house, posted this photo on Facebook this morning of our old house. You can’t even see the front steps because of drifting. It’s just plain nasty out there. I can’t imagine trying to get up that hill today.
I started another prayer shawl yesterday. I wanted to send the latest batch of 12 shawls to the hospital with our pastor, who is a chaplain at the Med Center. I was going to give them to him or my sister who is a volunteer baby rocker in the NICU on Sunday, but we just got a notice that they’re canceling church at the building because of wind chills predicted at -50F or more. They’re doing services on Facebook instead.
I saw this picture on Facebook yesterday and laughed so hard. It’s a hat like Uncle Eddie’s in Christmas Vacation. Different people had commented that he also needs a robe and they could caption it, “the litter box is full Clark!” Those of you who have seen the movie will understand.
We took Mom out to lunch yesterday just before the storm hit. We went to a sports bar called DJs Dugout that has New York strip steaks every Thursday for $12.99. You also get a salad and any side dish you want. We go there a lot on Thursdays. She really enjoyed it. The waitstaff is really nice and you get points everytime you eat there. Yesterday we got almost $15.00 off, so it only cost $22 for all three of us to have steak lunches! Mom loves to go to lunch, so we take her out at least once a week. Of course she forgets by that evening that we went anywhere! She asks most days if we can go to lunch somewhere because she hasn’t been out in so long! 🤷♀️
I hope any of you in the path of the storms stay safe and warm. We’ve begun packing for our trip but swimsuits seem a little odd when you look out of the window. 😍
Blessings and love,

Hello to your lovely momma!!!! And wow! That is cold! Stay warm and cozy, my dear friend. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWindchills of -50 sound just awful. Please stay warm and safe. Hope you can get going on your trip with no difficulties.
ReplyDeleteOh, wow!!! We've been watching The Weather Channel all day and that snow and cold out west is some serious stuff. Stay safe!
ReplyDeletebrrrr....all that snow around your old home gave me the shivers. :) The prayer shawls are so nice, I think it's great you share them with others! Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteI feel sorry for pets in winter weather! We just keep getting lucky. My daughter west of us had snow earlier this week, it skipped over us. Today she had so much snow that buses were almost an hour late getting kids home. All we have had is rain (and winds). It is supposed to be horribly cold starting tomorrow and I think we will be way below freezing for at least 10 days. I just hope it doesn't get icy! That lunch sounds like quite a deal! It is hard to find a nice place for lunch and it sounds like they have all three - good food, good prices and good service! I know my mother-in-law would call out people by name for never visiting her, sometimes while they were in the room! It's good that she enjoys it at the time. You take care in all that snow!
ReplyDeleteHunker down and enjoy the beauty of a storm as long as you don't have to get out in it! And I don't blame Zoey for not wanting to go out in it!
ReplyDeleteStay warm! Poor Zoey...hopefully she does her business real fast! We have horrid cold but plan to stay inside:)
ReplyDeleteYes it is snowy everywhere these days and we will get the terrible below zero cold starting this Sunday! It's suppose to last a full week here. Can't wait until it is over. You plan such fun trips....can't wait to hear all about your next one. Your steak lunches do sound delish! Glad you can take "mom" out so often for lunch, even if she doesn't always remember it. God Bless....take good care!
ReplyDeleteYou must be so excited at the thought of leaving the cold and snow behind. It really is pretty awful weather over most of Canada and parts of the US. How lovely that you faithfully take your MIL out even if she doesn't remember it for long.
ReplyDeleteStay warm!!
We got some snow, then some wind, then some rain. My goodness, I wish Mother Nature would just make up her mind! This morning we braved the weather to go watch one grandson bowl and then went across town to watch his brother play hockey. tomorrow we are going to "hunker down" and let the wind and the weather howl outside. Stay safe and warm!
ReplyDeleteLoved hearing about your lunch out and the cat's hat is adorable! Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteHello...new here from Texas.
ReplyDeleteI have enjoyed the photos on this post! lol Especially the kitty in the hat...
Looks cold there...Enjoy your trip.
