Hey Ladies,
There’s a QF show on tomorrow (Monday) check your local listings. I think it’s in the afternoon ET time.

Hi Ladies,
I’m glad to hear you didn’t lose power Adele. I hope everyone is doing well. I think I told you we were under a stagnant air alert all week. However, I’m not sure where they got their info. We got dense fog for several days, but it was gone by noon & we had clear skies. Normally when we have stagnant air it’s like smog & you can see it hanging around. then the East winds showed up & they said we still had stagnant air, which makes no sense to me. Wind clears the air. But the rain has returned so now the air is clear, for sure.
One of my neighbors has to go into assisted living so her family was here this weekend to clean her apt out. They were letting her neighbors have whatever we could use. I got her full size bed, & her little rocking chair, & her dresser & night stand. I was cleaning up after we got it all in & I took a fall while vacuuming. No injuries, just exasperated. Snowball isn’t pleased with the new arrangement. She was out in the hall under a chair supervising everything.
Well, it’s getting late so I’ll close for now.
Take care, stay safe, stay warm, & stay well.

Hi Ladies,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ADELE!!! Sorry I’m late. I hope you had a wonderful day.
How’s the weather out there. Are you getting snowed under? Ours has taken off & left the area. We are now under “stagnant air” alert for the next few days. The skies are clear now but they’re saying that
“smog” will be evident next week. The temps will be in the 50s all week but cold at night, down into the 30s. That’s probably warm compared to your low temps.
So, ladies, has anyone heard or read a blog about some hosts being fired recently? I read a post on FB I think it was, this person was unhappy with the new hosts & was upset they fired others. I know they’ve been rotating the hosts around more than they used to. I’m trying to figure out who was fired. Last I heard was Antonella, Stacy, & Gabriell (sp). I’m always the last to know anything, it seems.
Nothing’s been going on out here to speak of. Staying safe or trying to anyway.
I don’t know what’s going on but I used to get notices on my phone that your posts came through. I could read em on my phone. But I haven’t seen any of your posts in quite some time now. I just assumed because I didn’t see any coming through that you weren’t posting. Then I get on here & there’s a ton of posts I haven’t seen.
I think some of my absence is due to the let down after the holidays. They flew by so fast & were over so fast it was a big let down. I have a couple things still out, like a bowl of blue ornaments to signify winter. Otherwise I’m putting out my spring stuff, slow but sure. I put out a temptations baking dish that has purple fetti in it. I can’t think of the name of it. It’s from a long time ago. anyway, snowball is curled up in it as I speak. I’ll try to send the pics of her in it.
Well, that’s about all I have for tonight. Take care, stay safe, stay warm, & stay well!!!!

Hi Ladies,
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
Well another year is behind us. GOOD RIDDANCE!! Let’s hope & pray 2022 is better for all of us!!
NYE is Diane’s b/day, but she didn’t feel like going out due to the bitter cold temps. The little snow we got is long gone now. The snow they predicted turned to rain & washed it away. But the temps dropped into the 20s overnight so it’s coooooold. The mts are getting hammered with snow & no one’s complaining. The rain returns tomorrow night & will stick around all week from the sounds of it.
Omicron is exploding out here. Again the symptoms are similar to a regular cold etc.
I took the tree down today. Snowball wasn’t too happy about that. She’d get under it & curl up & go to sleep. Surprisingly enough she didn’t disturb the ornaments like I & thought she might. If one fell she’d play with it briefly then ignore it. I put mostly dollar Tree stuff on the tree, including ornaments on the bottom.
Well, I guess that’s all for now. Take care, stay safe, stay well.

Hi Ladies,
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas. I know Adele did, when she tested negative! I spent a quiet day. Critt wasn’t feeling well so we didn’t have Christmas dinner. We had it Sunday instead.
I’m gonna start putting some things away pretty soon. I have a yearly inspection coming up in Jan. so I gotta get busy. They didn’t do it last this yr because of the shutdown.
I’m not sure if you’ve heard but we’re in the middle of an Arctic blast & we’ve had some snow, but just enough for a dusting, & making travel a nightmare. We haven’t had enough to make a good snowball. (pun intended) lol. No big snow storms in the future, just bitter COOOOLD temps, for this part of the country. The mts are getting hammered out here. The skiers, snowboarders should be happy. Sometimes I think a big snowapacalpse (sp) would be better than this dusting. It melts during the day, then freezes over at night. I’m so glad I don’t have to be out in it. I have plenty of food so I won’t go hungry.
I took pics of my tree & decorations I just gotta figure out how to get em on here.
Well, that’s all I have for now. Stay safe & stay well. And have a safe & HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

Hi Ladies,
I saw something on the Q today that piqued my curiosity. On Gourmet Holiday they had something called Butter Cake, & David was doing the Happy Dance cause he thought it’s great. They said it comes from St. Louis, Mo. & someone’s mother started selling it many yrs ago & the family is keeping up the tradition of selling it during the holidays. So, have any of you know anything about it. I’ve never heard of it before.
Last week Jimmy the Baker posted on FB how he found a flour that makes biscuits bigger & fluffier. It’s a flour that’s only found in the South.
I hope you see this. I’m still on the Nov. page.Lol
Take care.

Hi Ladies,
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend. I was able to get a Thanksgiving food box with all the fixings. I cooked it up for me & Critt so we had some turkey, etc. I gave him some leftovers & shared the rest with my other neighbor. Once a yr is enough for me. I prefer the dark meat to the white meat. It has more flavor.
Tomorrow is the first day of Dec!! Where has this yr gone?? I’m still working on getting my decorations up. I got the tree up but no ornaments on it yet.
Diane took me to Costco & I was able to get the booster shot. They take in walk ins. Their pharmacy is open to the public, not just Costco’s members.
How’s the weather out there? It was chilly for a few days but it’s warmed up. We broke some records for warm temps the past few days. In the upper 50s & low 60s. but that could end at any time. No snow in the forecast.
That’s all for now. Take care, stay safe, stay warm, stay well!!!

Hi Ladies,
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! I hope everyone is having family over for the day. hem
Colleen, I’m so very sorry about your brother. It’s the same time of year I lost my mom. Sunday was the anniversary of her passing. It’s always the worst to know your loved one is passing during the holidays.
It feels like someone reaches in & rips your heart out of your body. Sending prayers, hugs, & lots of love to you.
I’m trying to get started with Christmas decorating but I just can’t get motivated. I have a few things out but maybe this weekend I’ll get motivated. It’s getting harder & harder to do it.
It’s getting really cold out here. We were only in the 40s today. And if there’s a wind it’s even colder.
I’m asking my ‘kitty furrriends’ on InstaGram if they’d like to exchange Christmas cards. So far it’s a go with all of them. They’re from all over the world, Canada, Denmark, Norway, & Australia, & here in the US.
Well I guess that’s all for tonight. You may not hear from me for awhile.(so what else is new?).
Take care, stay safe, stay well.
