Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...how were today’s commutes?

They are saying possible freezing rain tonight...NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Maybe 37 tomorrow. *sigh* Just snow and STAY WINTER!!

[AZamericonnie]

All is well Conor....made some swordfish for dinner with capers, white wine, butter & lemon reduction for dinner. Turned out yummy.

I was going to grill it with pesto but it’s getting dark so early & I can’t see so well when it does! LOL

My heart goes out to our brave young ones who lost their lives at Pendelton today. God rest & keep them & prayers for their families.

Thank you...we are...it’s beautiful here in FL tonight, and we just had a lovely walk!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Connie, and thank you for tthe tributes to our troops. *HUGS*

Did your commute go well? Have the piggies gone away for the winter? More record high temps?

Busy, busy today, but we finally got the checks printed. Garnishments did not want to cooperate. Would not save changes. GRRRR!!

A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are, God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

BLESS THIS HOUSE

 Bless this house O Lord we pray; Make it safe by night and day; 
Bless these walls so firm and stout, Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall, Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove ever open to joy and love.
Bless these windows shining bright, Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there, with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within, keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we May dwell O Lord with thee.

Songs of Good Bye?

[Publius]

The sonata where Beethoven tells a story in three movements. Opus 81a in E-flat.

[AZamericonnie]

A walk right now would be a great idea but I have laundry in the washer...is that a good enough excuse? LOL

[ConorMacNessa]

A smooth commute on the way in - 45 minutes. This evening, not so good - and hour and a half.

We're just a few degrees warmer than you are - it's 28F at Castle MacNessa this evening. They say it's supposed to warm up tomorrow - 50's. I haven't found it necessary to don my heavy cloak yet this season.
