Oh What a Beautiful Day

We woke to warm temps and a beautiful day today. I spent most of my day outside enjoying the 70+ temps.

Dinner tonight was ham steak, fried potatoes and milk gravy.

It’s finally warmer

It was a bit of a ruff night for hubby and therefore it was for me too. He suffered with a migraine headache all day and night long. Well i guess you can imagine what happened this morning ….

Yep .. around 7.30 am i came out my sleep to a tumping noise and then the sound of hubby hurling. Apparently he had gotten up and was trying to get upstairs to the bathroom. He is like an explosion when he vomits it goes everywhere!

After he finished i got up and cleaned up the mess. It’s not a pretty site and nothing is spared. Since i was awake i decided I might as well stay up. Needless to say the dogs were not happy to have to get up that early. In fact Lucy didn’t get up .. she is still in bed.

One good thing is i awoke to a somewhat warm morning compared to the past several days.

The dogs were even happy when i put them out to go potty. Not sure what my day is going to consist of. I’m planning to at least get outside this afternoon and enjoy the warmth and sunshine!

The temps warmed up enough for me to venture outside and take pictures of the project progress.

Not sure what this is but it sure is big and can move lots of heavy things. Randall is driving it.

It’s really looking good and the roof has all the sheeting and almost all the felt stuff that will prevent leakage until the final part of the roof is done.

The upstairs room now has the door and windows framed in.

This is Jarrod he is one of the youth from church who is helping work on the project.

Not sure if this is an argument or a thinking session.

I spent my afternoon soaking up the sunshine and enjoying the warmer temps.

Tonight was our weekly potluck dinner in the church fellowship hall. As always it was a wonderful meal and church service was awesome.

The weather outside is frightful

Oh the weather outside is frightful and it’s not inviting. We woke to record breaking temps! Don’t let it snow .. don’t let it snow.

We had both electric heaters going and the furnace did come on a few times as well. But we stayed nice and warm inside our comfy home. It was 72 degrees when we got up. I was worried with our home being much larger and all the slide outs that during severe cold weather it wouldn’t stay warm. I was concerned with the water freezing or worse our pipes. We left the bathroom faucet on with a small stream. Our new passed the test with flying colors. Ms. Southwind didn’t have slide outs and so she was easy to keep warm and last winter i knew that several RVer’s put in their slides to keep warm and their pipes froze up.

The sun came out after lunch so a needed trip to Wal-mart was on the agenda. Running out of toilet paper and dog food is not a good thing.

Tonight’s dinner was cubed steak, california blend veggies and mac and cheese.

Tonight is suppose to get to around 28 and then tomorrow the 60’s and Thursday they are talking 70’s again!

Windy & Cold

Brrr .. we woke to a cold morning. The wind is blowing and it’s nippy outside. Right now at 2 pm my weather bug says 41! Although my niece just said back in Illinois it’s like 8 degrees so i will take the 41. The sun is shining but with the wind it’s still pretty cool. Were suppose to get a hard freeze but hopefully warmth is coming back.

Today was spent inside the warmth of my comfy home. It was too cold to outside.

For dinner i made chicken stir fry and the rest of the evening was spent inside the warmth of home.

They are predicting record breaking temps for tonight .. brrrrr

Happy Birthday Tyson

Happy Birthday Tyson. Tyson is 27! Wow, it’s hard to believe. I called and talked to him. Today was a beautiful day. The sun came out and it was in the high 60’s. I spent the afternoon sitting outside and enjoying the weather.

After dinner I helped make fruit baskets. The kids finished their Christmas program practice and then it was time to load up on the wagon for Christmas caroling.

We had a wagon full and we had a great time and then the rain came down so we headed back to the church. Once I got home i got some dry clothes on and spent the rest of my evening enjoying my Christmas lights and the warmth of my comfy home.

A Christmas Party

Today was a bit on the chilly side when i got up. But as the sun came out it warmed up. After lunch i was able to sit outside and enjoy some sunshine!

I got hubby to take my camera up on the roof and get me some pictures.

That’s a long way down …

We’ve were invited to a church christmas party tonight at the pastor house. We had a wonderful time although i forgot my camera .. :((

There was about 25 people there and we had some wonderful snack foods and then we played a couple of games and of course we had loads of fun visiting.

We went home around 10 pm and called it a night. I’m so glad it’s warming up .. although i’m hearing it’s not gonna last long.

The sun is out

I was up most of the night with my back and so i slept in this 9 am! I’m so glad to see the sun shining today. It’s warming up a bit but still not to my liking.

Here is the wreath i made. It’s not the greatest but it works for me.

Today would have been my father in-laws birthday if he were with us today. Hubby was a bit on the sad side thinking of his dad. Although he no longer in pain and in heaven. We miss you very much!

We decided to go out for dinner tonight with friends Randall and Janice. We had a great time and then was back home and just relaxing and trying to stay warm. It’s going to be another cold one tonight … brrr … Old man winter go away!!
