Bonnie eating snow -Y'all, it is SO cold here. Actually, I think it made it up to around 30 today but yesterday morning, it was 5 degrees. 5. When I walked outside to get in the car, I had a cloud of frost around me. It was surreal but still beautiful and exhilirating.
I have the kerosene heater lit this evening and it is quite cozy and warm. Our heat pump has been running so much the past few weeks although we keep it set on around 64 or 65 when we're here and down to 62 at night or when we're gone. So having this little heater has been great but it will be even better when we get our woodburning stove. It's scheduled to be installed around the first week of February. There was a huge rush on buying those because of the power outages around here so the store where we bought it is swamped right now.
Peepaw just came in from work. His co-workers had a belated birthday celebration for him today. They had fried chicken and all the fixins' (per his request) and a big birthday cake with the "over the hill" theme on it. They led him into the kitchen at work and had a wheelchair sitting at the head of the table with his name on it, along with a "tinkle" pad for him to sit on and underneath that, they had placed big bubble wrap so when he sat down, well, you get the picture. It was all very cute and very thoughtful of them to make his 50th birthday so special.
I hope each and every one of you is doing great....I miss my kids and my grandbabies. You are always in my thoughts and prayers. Hug each other for me and be very careful in all you do.
Until next time, all my love,
Mom
