More Snow part 1







More snow


Supper's in the oven, chicken rice casserole, mashed sweet potatoes, green salad. Went walking in the snow this morning before the wind kicked up and spent some time on the internet....where has the day gone??? There was a beautiful red sunset glowing in the snow clouds.

Just another winter day

Coconut shrimp, wild rice, salad and buttered potatoes for lunch today, took a walk while the sun was still shining, watching "Knowing" right now...it's a great movie, I have seen it many times, but Showtime is open, so why not??? Hope everyone is having a great day....

Was just watching PBS, where they were visiting the Shetland Islands, this is a most famous bus stop right there in Unst. It it so famous, it has it's own website, check out the "themes" as they decorate for all seasons...it's really cool.

Unst bus stop

Ah, my husband is so sick with the flu...I feel so sorry for him. He has the cold virus, fever, body ache, cough, congestion type, tho. So at least he's not running to the bathroom every 5 minutes..oh, and he's getting where he can barely talk.. :-(

R.I.P. Gerry Rafferty

RIP Gerry Rafferty, thanks for great memories of my youth. Gerry Rafferty passed away today of liver failure. A sad loss to all of those that he touched with his awesome classics, such as Baker Street.

People are awesome

Mozel tov

It's a beautiful, sunny 40 degree day, so I took a walk with my ipod in my ears, singing along, cause no one is ever home during the day. I'm lost in "I Got a Feelin", and just as I'm shouting " Mozel tov", I see movement beside a house, and there's a lady sweeping....lol....I bet she wondered what an Irish girl was doing yelling mozel tov...I just waved...too late for anything else.. :-)

Bill and I went to a Christmas party today with some of my old work mates, they are such a hoot, had a great time with lots of good food too. Then Bill and I decided to drive around in this treacherous snowy, windy weather..so this for those of you who are missing the Illinois weather.
