Why so it is Lincoln’s birthday! I have been so caught up in
Valentine’s Day because of work that I nearly forgot! Thanks
for the reminder!

Have a great weekend, Kathy!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...how is the head? How many stitches? Hope you don’t have too much of a headache. And a day of rest for the knee should be good.

Weather report?

[luvie]

Thank God for our heroes and prayers ongoing for their safety!

Thanks for the daily reminder of how many are attached to
the Canteen!

[ConorMacNessa]

Head is doing okay, thanks - only 4 or 5 stitches. A day of rest was much needed. Today it was sunny and high 30's - the boys shoveled us out again. Looking for more snow Tuesday.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[AZamericonnie]

Mildred Peirce is a classic...some classics should be left alone right?

[Kathy in Alaska]

More snow still...I bet your boys are tired of the consequences of snow in one’s own yard. High 30s....did you get some significant melting?

MamaB....I hear the south got some interesting weather today? How are you and yours?

[mylife]

You brought it! This is a record snowfall!

The last I saw close to this was this same week 2004.
That stayed on the ground for 2 weeks.

This shizzle will be gone by Sunday.

Very unusual for Tx
