What's for supper?

Ark/Mex casserole and butter pecan cake with butterscotch frosting. With real pecans, thanks to Sister Betty.

Much warmer today

It topped out at 40 here at the house today. Still going to be really cold at night until Monday.

Our road is mostly clear, and the highways are clear.

The house feels really comfortable tonight for the first time since last week.  I am ready for July.

Another cold one

I think last night was the coldest we've had, below zero. Today wsd cold again, not even breaking 20 degrees, but we had pretty sunshine all day.

I went on to work in Robert's truck. Did not have a bit of trouble. Work was fine, and I'm all caught up now. No school again tomorrow, so I roll drive the truck again.

Stay safe, stay warm...

Still Cold

 But it has stopped snowing. My thermometer says 18, Helen's says 16.







I did not go to work today. I walked to the neighbor's and back down to Terry's red gate this morning.  Then, to Dan's and back down to the red gate again this afternoon.

Greg has been out twice today, and other sonn went out also.  No school tomorrow, so I will probably take Robert's truck and go to work tomorrow, but if I do I am not leaving till daylight.  The big truck will not have any trouble. It has 4 wheel dirve and new tires.

Cold weather gear

This is my cold weather coat son gave me several winters ago.  It is a Dewalt coat. It came with battery heaters, but I never used them and gave them back to him. It is wind proof, water proof, and very warm but not heavy. 

It has snowed over 2 inches and still going.  It is really light snow now, but it came down pretty good for awhile.




Killing time

In killing weather.

Sometimes I take a quiz on current events when I have nothing better to do. Today, there is not much good to do at my house. Got down to nothing at here early.

So, I took this npr quiz on global health news in 2023. I did pretty good, considering I was just guessing on most of the questions.

You can try it by typing npr quiz global edition 2023 in Google search. And, even if you spell most of the words wrong, Google will likely find the quiz. Try it.
