Good evening, ML...((HUGS))...hope you and Penny are enjoying not having to shovel snow yet.

Is it good coat weather? They say we will have a bunch of snow tomorrow.

Yes, I’m staying warm today. I took litter box scoopings out to be thrown away this afternoon and the cold NW wind almost took my breath away. That was all it took to make the decision to just stay put. LOL

It’s already dropped to 30 and it’s early yet. Clear skies will do that.
They SAY tomorrow will be a little nicer than today was and I hope they’re right. I HAVE to get out and about tomorrow afternoon.

There’s wet stuff out over the Bering Sea heading your way but it doesn’t look too bad. Maybe you won’t get much snow.
One of the Lake Hood cam chatters who lives in Anchorage mentioned there’s a good chance y’all will have snow Christmas Day.

No shoveling needed today, but “they” say another storm is coming in tomorrow. If we get snow...more work on the steps.

Hey there, radu!

It was a good day, but yes, it was cold. Never got up to 50 and right now it’s 39 and going down. But it will be spring by next weekend. 81 on Friday. LOL!

Sorry it was very cold there. Will that trend continue?

You’d mentioned you’d been working on your steps a couple at a time and I didn’t know if you’d gotten them all yet. I hope you did so you have a head start on the next round of snow tomorrow.

Evening, Kathy.
Year 1948 was exciting, quite pivotal. Hard to believe Berlin would later be united.

Oooo, right now that 81 degrees sounds reeeeeeal nice. LOL

We made it to 41 this afternoon but that vicious wind made it misery to step outside. If the wind will stop tomorrow, it won’t be too bad at 50, IF we get that warm. 50s through Thursday, then mid 60s for Friday and Saturday, and back down into 50s Sunday. I can live with that. :-) Pretty much normal for this time of year. Winter cold settles in next month and that’s when I’ll be whinin’. LOL

Tears in these old eyes ... the ‘little vittles’ action is what Ture Americans are about.

Good evening, Mooch...how is your editing project going?

1948 certainly was an interesting time. And pretty amazing that the 2 Berlins did get united.

I guess it sounds nice, but not when you have all these neat sweaters to wear and you’re stuck with summer clothes all winter. LOL!

Yes, your day sounded really miserable. The wind was the kicker. Without it, it might not have been that bad. Well, pretty cold, but..... You don’t seem to be warming up much before.

Hi Kathy,

Got some more editing right now. Freelance is feast or famine; have to take advantage.
