Good morning to everyone at the Canteen. 36º now with upper 50s later. I have to see if the doc can see me later this morning for something like a chest cold.

[MEG33]

Take care, AH. Healing prayers going up.
(((HUGS)))

[Arrowhead1952]

Thanks Meg and (((HUGS))) to you too. I thought my chest ache was from raking leaves, but now have a persistent cough.

even magical Christmas!

We had my Mom over on the 24th and went to my Wife’s folks on the 25th.
We’re in the mid 20’s during the day and slightly below zero at night for the next couple of days...then we’re headed way down again for the foreseeable future.
I’m taking some vacation time next week so will be feeding the woodstoves to give the geothermal system a break...and playing bridge on the internet, a very hermit-friendly activity. :{)
Stay warm and be well.
