The ice on the windows and the wind woke me a little after 5am. I though I could fall back to sleep but that didn’t work. I called work and both stores had no deals – just pending work – so I didn’t need to rush. I thought I was going to get Autmn and take her and Cameron to her dads (to finish laundry) but he had to reschedule. I went over to Giant Eagle and picked up my prescription, then grabbed 3 food items and came home. The roads were fine but the rain and wind were relentless. You can see by the flag blowing sideways, and the two wooden signs that blew off my wall, that things were somewhat wild.
Since I had an unexpected free day, I did some research emails then worked in the kitchen. I baked cinnamon muffins and then made a batch of chocolate covered popcorn. I am now officially very low on chocolate so I’m hoping that on beef day (1/27) I can stop at the bulk food store and get more.
As you can see, something (one!!!) is missing today…)
The answer to yesterday’s puzzle is GO UP IN SMOKE. Took me a few minutes to figure it out. Today’s EXTRA is a coloring page. I didn’t say they’d all be exciting…
Birthdays, etc, for January 9th: Richard Nixon, US President (1913); Bob Denver (Gilligan – American actor) 1935; Joan Baez, folk singer (1945); Crystal Gayle, Country singer 1951; Dave Matthews, singer/songwriter (1967); Kate Middleton, Princess of Whales (1982); 1861 – Battle of Fort Sumter; 1967 – 2nd album by the MONKEES released 1967.
PEANUTS thought for the day:
TOMORROW January 10th is:
National Houseplant Appreciation Day; National Oysters Rockefeller Day; Save the Eagles Day; National Cut Your Energy Costs Day; National Bittersweet Chocolate Day.
I don’t think I have every truly appreciated a houseplant. Seldom do they thrive under my care! Thank goodness I don’t raise eagles. Have a happy Wednesday and God bless…
