Good Morning Schumi and Julie.
Ah, yep no ice melting today for sure. 19F out, but was a beautiful sunrise, a few minutes ago, as bright out, and to be a full day of sun before that snowy Monday arrives.
And so, a day of rest, getting the rest of the wash done this morning, and getting the trash out, and a routine early bedtime to be ready for that week day routine. And still happy that commuting in the bad weather coming to start the work week does not have to be. Quite the advances in ability to work anywhere you have a good internet connection, since I started full time work almost 30 years ago. And how much I do with a phone, now really a small computer.
Enjoy your fish dinner Julie. And enjoy the book you got last night. Warmer weather, yes, I’m ready for some. Hope you’re getting more sleep and enjoyed a Louie and me walk this morning. Not unusual for us to get parcels up until around 9pm.
Schumi, that bar picture looks nice. Glad you enjoyed drinking last night. And yeah, I find lately, evening screen viewing has dismal show choices lately. Hope your tea is hot and enjoying this second to last Sunday in February.
Time for tea. And yay, bacon for all today, Sunday, too.
Wake up homies. A day of rest and relaxing should hopefully be for all the homies.
You confused me Lynne.....I was wondering if I had posted a picture of the bar and not just a couple of bottles on the worktop........lol.....
It`s the same inane shows they seem to come up with......it`s cheap tv. Don`t know if you have a show like The Masked Singer......or The Voice........never got into any of those types of shows, same with the Dancing on Ice shows. Thank goodness for DVD`s and a million other channels.....
Technology is wonderous for sure. I`d love to see someone come back, even from the 19th Century and show them the advances we`ve made. I think they`d be terrified......lol......
Lynne work me up for the breakfast call...
Hope there is some bacon left for me this morning!
Always plenty here for you mac.......we did like the new stuff that arrived yesterday......

Aw, that’s nice. I recently found a great snapshot of my mom & dad from the early 70’s together, rare as neither liked having their pic taken
Lynne - brrr, only thing to make it seemingly colder is to add some ice sculptures to the mix. Interesting photo op one, have never seen that.
Smart. It took me six months to collect from Ticketmaster for last year’s ‘postponed’ stones concert. Imagine the interest they made sitting on all that money from the tour.
Never crossed my mind to mix champagne & rum, hmmmm. You must ‘name it’
Can’t bear fast & furious movies but, love me some Vin DIesel...we indulged in reviewing one of the riddick movies last night
Yes,
amazon was depositing something or other on the porch at 7:30 am this morning. nothing so exciting as your house. probably just a jar of Dijon mustard, packed in a box big enough to hold a tv.
You missed ‘da boat, all gone. I do hear there is some fish pie floating about the place
. Mr slowly moving, will toss a few extra slices in the pan & make u a BLT.
Aww, that`s a nice picture to come across. No, we didn`t take a lot of pictures of them when we were younger. I do have a lot from when we moved away as they did come visit a lot, especially for Christmas.....but this one I took just of my mum.
Yes, the Tiki Sparkle is what it`ll be known as......
I can`t get into the F&F movies either.......I think I`ve seen a couple of VD movies.....or am I getting mixed up with The Rock???
lol.....fish pie tomorrow night.......
Can`t quite convince my son to like it though, even my home made one......he peers at it like it`ll bite him.....
Quiet Sunday sounds good........
My DD helped me cover my roots until our salons opened back up. Thank goodness for Sally Beauty Supply!
Thank you!!!
Louie is a handsome fella!! That photo belongs on a greeting card! Melts my heart!!!
Be well, Mac!!
Great Saturday shenanigan!!!
Yes, having our kiddos stop by is always a good day!!
That is very sweet Carole!
I love looking through old photos....
Glad your trip to the zoo was a success! Those phots are incredible!
Yum.........definitely will be trying that once my dry time is up!
We had a nice trip out to our lake house, and an enjoyable evening with DHs parents. Went to eat at a restaurant about 15 minutes away. Saturday night is Meatlovers specials. A big draw for DH and FIL!!
Sturgeon spearing is still happening until next Sunday, unless the quota is caught. The DNR determines if the season ends early. I took a photo from our place with all the shanties dotted along the lake. Didn't really turn out great. The shanties looked so small, you can barely make them out. They are placed far from shore...I guess better fishing in the deepest water. The lake is about 140,000 acres, so quite large.
I'm thinking of making chicken thighs today. Not very exciting, but will be good eats. I'll go to the gym, catch up on emails, and not much else. Will be a quiet day...
I haven't eaten breakfast yet, but all the bacon chatter has me thinking...

Glad you had a lovely time at the lakehouse Lori.......and lovely to be able to meet up with family for a meal.
Are your salons open now....yes, of course they are.......lol......I`m not jealous.....
I think we`re April before salons open back up again. i thank my lucky stars I did bite the bullet and get highlights before Christmas and our latest lockdown. I`ll make it till April for the colour, but will cut my own fringe tomorrow as it`s getting in my eyes now.
Oh I think you`ll like that drink Lori......I was only missing the fresh strawberry in it.....next time......
Happy Sunday,
A cold one today but nothing compared to other parts of the country. DH who used to fish in 30 degree weather said last night he just can't take the cold like he used to. I have to agree. I told him that is just another reason to move to FL when we retire or else become snowbirds. Only 15 or 20 years to go, lol.
We had a nice sushi dinner at a restaurant down the road from us last night. I am not sure why we don't go more often. It is really good. DH ordered a spicy tuna lovers roll and I ordered the Christmas Tree, which is mainly spicy tuna rolls. Yum! Tonight we are going to a local steak restaurant for my nephews birthday dinner. I love no cook weekends.
I made another attempt with the bread machine. It went though all the steps this time but it was overbaked so it became food for the birds and squirrels. Oh well. Back on the shelf it goes.
Not much on the agenda for today other than laundry. Hope everyone has a nice Sunday.
Hope you are feeling better soon, Mac!
Lovely statues and I love the bald eagles in the snow. There is a webcam of a bald eagle nest in Florida (Tampa, I believe) that I like to peek at once in a while. It is called the Southwest Eagle Cam. It is a mating pair and their two babies. The babies hatched in January. They nest there every year so it is fun to watch them and their babies from year to year.
I know what you mean. We rarely watch broadcast television anymore. We stick to sitcom reruns on cable or I stream a lot of UK mystery or comedy shows.
Have fun with your new goodies. I ordered parakeet food Friday night and it was on my porch when we got home from dinner last night. I do love Prime but I have a feeling it will become a love/hate relationship. Amazon is building two HUGE warehouses about 5 miles from my house so I expect that our delivery time will become even quicker. I could have lived without it though. The buildings have taken up acres and acres of farmland and woods and will increase the traffic in this area tenfold.
Still sounds cold enough where you are cam......oh sushi sounds lovely.......and enjoy your steak tonight, yes, I love cooking, but equally enjoy a night or two off now and again.......
Oh yes, we do have some good tv shows worth watching and some high class drama, but goodness me we do produce some drivel too.......my tv is barely on during the day at all unless it`s a dvd in the afternoon.
I think Amazon is building those huge warehouses everywhere. One of my friends who lives further up North to me mentioned they`re getting one built and it`s going to be huge. Yes, it`s a shame they take up open spaces.
Have fun tonight........
Ended up having a busy day today with one thing and another. But, did manage to get another couple of loads of washing hung out, dried, ironed and put away within a few hours. It`s the simple things.........
We were impressed with the quality meats from Scotland. Bacon was lovely and steaks tonight were beautiful. Will definitely order from them again.
Think our master bathroom shower is being ripped out at the end of this week, then the plumber is fitting us in as he is inundated with work, but our guy spoke nicely to his plumber and he`ll do it for us, not exactly sure when, but at least if it`s out and prepared, plumber can come anytime.
I`ll be in cleaning overdrive with all the dust!
Listening to KISS/Queen right now, but fancy watching a detective show on tv, so will pop it on soon and nice cozy night ahead with a lovely pot of tea.
Hope everyone is having a lovely Sunday.......
Sweet!
Doing a quick late night stop in!
. I whipped up a chocolate moonpie cake from scratch. It was quite tasty. The recipe will go into a keep pile. It was rich, but very yummy.
Wishes for your son!
celebration for your son.
