Common Ground Coffee House #111

Merry Christmas all,
The invasion here just left. The house needs to be cleaned again but a nap is in order first.
:godisgood:

 

Hope everyone had a Very Merry Christmas!
:wavey:

 

Good Morning Everybody,

It is 20 degrees with light snow here. It got up to 46 yesterday and we lost most of the old snow, so we wake up this morning and guess what??

Hoping everybody had a blessed Christmas. We always celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve, so the Gkids can go to their other grandparents on Christmas Day.

We've all been busy packing [commonly called cussin' & discussin.] It's not easy merging two homes into one.

My break is over and I've got to get back to packing before Brenda decides to put me in a box..

 

Good morning all!

Hope you are feeling better, Ann, and that you, FoG, get the boxes and discussions all in order!

Strange experience yesterday. It snowed most the night before and almost all day yesterday and NONE piled up on the ground. It seems we were EXACTLY at snow level! It was weird to see it snow all day and so little on the ground or plants. It's all gone this morning. Skies are gray and we may have some rain. But yesterday was a new one for me.

Barry's sick -- some bug or another -- so I'm not having much time. I don't realize how much he does to help around here until he is not able to do it! But it's my turn to baby him now....heaven knows he does it for me often enough!

Gina worked Christmas morning so another person could have Christmas with their family. So we had the girls for Christmas breakfast and had stockings ready for them. That was fun. They are so sweet. Gina came home absolutely exhausted and slept for several hours before we had Christmas dinner (a very simple one) ready. So it was a lovely day and pretty quiet. She's had a few days off and starts back to work today.

I'm still quite worried about her. The doctor doesn't KNOW if she has thyroid cancer and wants to WAIT!!!!!! I've begged her to get a second opinion, and she is going to. Her whole body is out of whack and she is struggling to maintain. Please remember her in your prayers. She is so sweet.

I'm doing fine. Cold weather and arthritis are not a good combination, but it's do-able. We've passed the shortest day of the year now and so things will be getting better, well....after January, right?

God bless you all.

 

Good Evening Everyone!

Hmmm. Kinda quiet and cold around here. Well, I can fix that. There's a fire ready to be lit in the fireplace. Cookies, rice krispie treats and ice cream sunday fixings on the counter. Sausage balls, chips and dips, a cheese ball and nacho fixin's are next to 'em. Coffee's hot.

Ya'll help yourselves and have a Happy New Year!

I'll be back around later. Chris and I are headed to church to spend a bit of time with the church ladies.

 

ok that is it! my feelings are hurt :tear: not only have you not come to see me since i had Leah you didn't call me and tell me you ladies are going to be at the chruch :tear:

:smilewinkgrin: that's ok...i will hunt you down:smilewinkgrin:

i hope the rest of you have a Happy New Year's Eve!!

 

MK: thanks for the treats.
I am just going to post and run. We are going shopping tommorrow. Mom promised the grown kids a shopping spree and tommorrow is the day! :thumbs:
I know I am getting a new pair of tennis shoes out of the deal. Who knows what else I can find!!! :laugh: I haven't even been to the mall in so long I don't even know what stores are there. Oh well, time to get some more laundry done. We have had so many kids on and off here that we are still trying to get all the bedding washed. I think for I have the last load ready to go for awhile. Have a happy new year.
:godisgood:

 

We got close to 10" of snow last night, with another possible 3-5" forecast for today. I'll pm you a glass of snow Ann. :laugh: I love rain...it's easier to shovel.

Not much going on here, we're just waiting for the next wave of snow to hit.

My Wife is Nanook of the North...and I'm a Schnook from the South [South Michigan that is.]

Wishing everybody a Happy and Prosperous New Year. :wavey:

 

Howdy Everyone!

I have the whole blessed house to myself for the first time in, in, well, I can't remember when. Chris is usually here even if everyone else is gone. I'm not sure how I managed this unexpected time of relief, but I'm making hay whilst the sun shines. Yep, you got it. I'm cleaning house while there is no one to tear the stuff out behind me! :laugh:

Cuz, send me some of that snow too. We have sunshine today, but a cold, cold wind is blowing and if it is going to be to cold for me to go outside barefoot and in a t-shirt, then I expect to be rewarded with snow. Even virtual snow will do! Good thing I drained the pool pump the other day, tonight it is supposed to be down in the 20's.

I gotta get back at it. Right now, you still can't walk through the house even though I've been cleaning for an hour or so, not counting bathing two stinky puppies!

Ya'll enjoy your day!

 

You wanna come up here and run around barefoot and in a t-shirt Cuz? It'll be a toss-up which has a cuter shade of blue, your skin or your toenails :laugh:

Should be a treat tomorrow. Weather Service has issued a Wind Advisory for tonight with considerable drifting possible.

I might or might not be able to check in tomorrow, depends on if we have power or not.

C'mon Cindi move back to Michigan. You know you miss it.

 

Cuz, you better dig back through those boxes you've been packin' cause you've obviously lost your mind! :laugh: I said IF it's too cold for bare feet and t-shirts there should be snow, NOT I want to run around barefoot in the stuff! :laugh: I am so allergic to cold, that the kids can't get to even consider going on the church's annual ski trip. Those crazy people drove straight through to W. Virginia yesterday to play in the stuff.

Well, humph! My house is full of people again. Even got an extra kid. Just how long do you think my house will stay clean? <grumble, grumble, grumble> I did a pretty good job of making a path through it too. Just don't tell my MIL that I did laundry today. One of her funny superstitions is that if you do laundry on New Years that you will wash someone out of your life. Tanya asked if it was possible to wash specific people out that way. <snicker> I sure am glad she ain't mad at me! :laugh:

 

I've heard of "Washin' that man right outta my hair" but thats about all.

 

Hello and Happy New Year!:wavey:

We're fixin' to get cold, too. We've got a forecasted low of 25 in the morning. Then 19 Thursday, and 25 again Friday.

We've got to get out in it Thursday morning for the trip to "my hospital." Brrrr

Last week I had my first treatment with a new chemo, and it didn't make me sick! PTL! Let's pray it works and keeps working.raying: raying:
:wavey:

 

LOL, Sue, I love Monk too.

Good morning Everyone, 'cept Sue (who is certainly sleeping in this morning).

T is off to work and man was it hard getting up this morning! He's only been off 2 weeks, you wouldn't think the internal clock would change that much in just that little bit of time, but it did! The kids are still in the bed. They don't go back until next Tuesday! not sure what the board was thinking letting them out this long. Cass'll have been out 3 weeks by then. Cade will be short of 3 weeks by just one day and Jenna short by just 2 days. Of course Chris thinks that he shouldn't do school if they're not so he hasn't done anything all this time either. Three weeks is waaaaay to long, especially considering we had a whole week at Thanksgiving. I'd rather have started a week later than had this much time at Christmas.

Since I had to be up, there are fresh muffins on the counter and hot coffee in the pot.

Ya'll have a good day!
