Hiya radu, sorry I missed you last night.

Good weekend, took both kids and Robin out to breakfast on Friday, had a great visit and saw both kids on Saturday too.

How was your weekend?

Howdy, luvie.

Did it warm up much more this afternoon?

I saw 48 when I took Jasper to the vet so we didn’t quite make it to 50. Only upper 30s expected for tomorrow’s high. BRRRRRRRRR

Cool! I didn’t realize your daughter was in town. Bet that was fun. Sounds like you had a really nice Thanksgiving weekend.

Some friends invited me over for Thanksgiving dinner and the rest of the weekend was pretty dull. I don’t get out among the crazies who are shopping for deals. LOL

Hi there, lauren! (((hugs)))

Hope you had a lovely Thanksgiving weekend. It was very nice here, but we’d rather had been with the kids. We will go see them next week instead.

Hey there, radu!

Yes, it warmed up to about 54 and it’s 41 right now. It felt pretty good when I went out to feed the kitties, because the wind isn’t as strong today.

Sounds like you were only a few degrees cooler there, but your tomorrow will be waaaay different. Yours...30s...mine...60s. Hope you get to stay inside tomorrow! πŸ₯Ά

It’s warmer here than it is there. I’ve got 46 at the moment, and it’s been raining. More rain to go, then the temps will drop behind it. I hope. Right now, the cold temps are at the back edge creating sleet and sleet’s about to move into Memphis. Too far south! I don’t want that over here!

It wasn’t too bad this afternoon because it wasn’t windy like it was yesterday.

I have no plans for tomorrow other than to stay inside!

Nononono!!! Nooo sleet! That stuff is such a mess. Glad you don’t have to get out.

It’s now about 37 here. it’s falling pretty fast considering that it’s not windy at all. Breezy, yes. Norther-type wind, no.

Finally got hold of the cat-sitter and she can help us next week. WoooHooo!! Sooo looking forward to seeing the kids. And The weather seems to be forecast to be nice. 60s or 70s most days. I can live with that. My heated bankie will be going with me, though. My son puts the AC on year-round, and we FREEEEEZE!! LOL! I’m still lovin’ those self-heated blankets, and so are the kitties, indoor and outdoor. 😻

Yeah, if it has to drop frozen precip, I prefer snow to sleet. I was glad I could get Jasper in for a shot this afternoon rather than have to wait. I shouldn’t have said anything about how well he’d been doing lately because he started throwing up over the weekend. He really needed that shot today.

My temp has gone up a couple of degrees. Weird but welcome right now. Quite a bit of rain still coming and it’ll stay rain.

We’ll have a little breeze behind the rain but nothing strong. Not a big temp difference in front of and behind this front.

Great your cat sitter will be available. I gather Peaches is eating well enough now so you can go?

https://newenglandhistoricalsociety.com/beatles-roll-boston-pandemonium-spare/

In 1964, New England – along with the rest of the country β€” went Beatles crazy.

On Sept. 12, 1964, Boston took its turn.

When the Beatles finally arrived in Boston, they tried to stay low-key. Their plane arrived at 3:40 a.m. at Hanscom Field Air Force Base under tight security. Only a small crowd greeted them.
