I saw my shadow earlier this month, needed to hunker down after the trip.
Other than needing to move our departure up, we’ve been very lucky just missing bulk of the storms rolling across the country! Two more to go this week, looks like we just get dinged again.
nearly everyone I know has somebody in the family down with flu or RSV. The bigger hospital system here re-instituted mandatory masking again to counter it. Seems as tho most who do get covid these days fare better…either some immunity from prior encounter or vaxx’d.
surgeon’s office of said system sent me a message today that I was to go forth and get jabbed three times today…covid booster, flu and RSV. I complied with the 1st two. Not a fan of getting both same day, usually entails being sick as dog the next day. Worth it but, still a pain.
If they push it, guess I’ll get the RSV. Has anyone gotten one yet? Can’t say I know anyone who has. Already had RSV late December 2023 - January 2024. Was really nasty and lingered. Apparently, you can get it more than once. Isn’t that special?
Hope robbie is feeling better after her slip/fall on way south. Horrible response from the hotel mgmt. no excuse
Hope you`re not doing too badly now and hope the worst of the weather misses you!
Can`t help with the RSV, they don`t offer it to us over here, well maybe they do for certain groups with certain conditions, but never heard anyone mention it, flu and covid is all we get offered now. I`m done with covid jabs but will get the flu ones going forward.
I think we`ve been lucky, we`ve had covid/flu vax at the same time and never been up nor down, but I hear of plenty like you and it doesn`t agree with them.
Ok, it’s been so long since i posted; forgot how lol

After four years, the Russians finally released Mark Fogel (who hails from across the river from us) from his long imprisonment. A teacher by trade BTW.
Do u do by hand or machine? I’ve never been confident with my work on the machine for that.
Ha, you know my house better than that. Was a snooze fest from the game, to the commercials to the excruciatingly boring half-time show.
One stellar exception:
It is pretty. I always feel somewhat foolish cleaning off the deck. Sidewalks & driveway, no such issue.
Sounds like a plan! I thought of you when one of my kids mentioned a possible golfing trip to Myrtle Beach this spring. I reminded him the ocean water is way too cold to brave in early March there. He responded we always saw people on beach & in water when we’d go down to visit family for Easter there. My response: “that’s the annual invasion of the French Canadians”. Hardiest people ever, pretty sure they have no internal thermostat lol.
You, go, girl!
We desperately need a new attitude, that requires a new head coach.
Did you take the high or the low road? As bad as the puns get lol. Sounds like a lovely, surprise get away. I’ve said it before, your mr could teach a husband master-class!
Haven`t heard about that gentleman over here, that is happy news indeed, but I do like his hat!! Well, hope they get a new outlook and do better!
lol....now I have that song in my head!! It was a lovely surprise, I never expected it as our next planned trip was next month for mum`s birthday, oh he is a star for sure!!!
Has anyone heard how Robbie is doing?
No, but she posted on Wednesday.
What a day this has been. I arrived at work to discover that our internet and phones were down. Comcast came out and replaced the modem, but that didn’t solve the problem. They said the problem was with another piece of equipment that wasn’t theirs. My boss had me call the rep who set up our new phone system, but he said they don’t do IT anymore. He came out and came up with a quick fix and recommend someone else to handle the IT issues. The computer technician came out and determined that some of our equipment had died. He is getting new equipment for us but in the meantime got everything up and running again.
I had a bunch of emails and voicemails to respond to. I don’t know why some people decided that the middle of a winter storm was a good time to call and try to take care of scheduling and payments. I ended up staying over 2 hours later than usual just so I could get caught up on everything. Oh, and I only got about 3 hours of sleep last night. I’m surprised I am still awake right now.
What an awesome surprise. The pictures are beautiful even with the fog.
I had to look up the recommended age. I’m not quite there yet.
Agreed
The snow stays on the deck until it melts. Dh did a good job of salting the driveway and steps.
Can’t wait to see this is person again.
A couple of pieces of good news for us.
1. Each year dh goes to a broadcasting convention in Vegas. He submitted a screenplay to one of their contests and won first place in its division.
2. Rick Springfield is touring and coming to Virginia. Dh got us tickets to see him in Richmond this summer.
Sounds like quite a day!! We are so dependent on technology today, it`s scary!
Congratulations to your DH!! I`m sure you`re all proud as punch of him and Rick Springfield, wow I hear he puts on an amazing show, that sounds like a lot of fun!
Hope you got a better nights sleep last night!
Thank you, Scotland is just amazingly beautiful, even in fog, I quite like it when it`s like that too, especially in winter.
My friend J and I are really enjoying our Wednesday evenings out, learning some new and different dances, we do ache a little next day and even a little ache today, but it`s worth it, I am finding muscles I never knew I had.
We had a busy day yesterday, nice though, out shopping then friends invited us for lunch, so we drove over to them and spent a rather lovely afternoon chatting about anything and everything, nice lunch too.
Lazy night last night on the phone to my mum, niece and my sister too, passed an evening away before we knew it!
Today, no idea what we`re doing, might go do something, it is freezing, I just went to bring in the milk and it`s not getting any warmer yet!
Doing a couple of steaks tonight for our own Valentine`s dinner, shrimp and scallops in a champagne sauce to start and I`m going to make lemon syllabub with a strawberry heart shape blob on top, very romantic lol.......
Time for my first pot of tea of the day, sleeping beauty is out for the count still, so little mini pot I think!
And we have an Anniversary today......

Our very own keishashadow and her mister celebrate 33 years of wedded bliss!!!! I remember how many years as they got married same year as us, that might be cheating a little, but hope you both have a lovely anniversary and many congratulations!!!
