Our low temperature last night ended up at 29 degrees. The winds stayed up at 10 to 20 mph all night and I think that kept temperatures from getting as cold as forecast.
School gets out in exactly 1 hour and tomorrow is off so today is my Friday. I think I'll just stay home tomorrow since it will be Friday the 13th. Better safe than sorry...

I think I'll be dropping in at the Diner for lunch this afternoon. If Cherokee Woman has a big pot of beef stew simmering on the stove top, that will be perfect for a COLD day like this. The sun has come out here and it looks deceptively warm outside. We have a temperature of 26 degrees, and I can only guess at what the wind chill is here. We need an extra smiley to add to our posts........one that is shivering with cold!

Morning All,
Sorry I've been absent lately. Work's been insane, and I've been trying to get the house ready for my sisters, who arrive tonight. Hmmmm...I think it now qualifies as "Clean," but possibly only from a bachelor's perspective. I hope they aren't expecting the absolute definition of "Clean," but rather the definition that is a little more open to interpretation!
Meanwhile, Happy Birthday Aimee! And a very Happy Birthday to all of the other October birthday folks out there that have had their birthdays in my absence!
Brian, your daughter is getting married on the 13th? Hmmmm....October 13th...I always liked that day! Apparently my parents did too, as it was the day of their wedding. It's a shame that they got their best anniversary gift on their first anniversary, and after that they were a bit more 'traditional.'
Well, must be on my way. Have a large plan that I need to finish before I take a couple days off while my sisters are in town. Hope you all have a great, if a bit chilly, day!
TTFN!

, Aimee!
I hope this weather isn't an bad omen for a year from tomorrow, when my daughter has her wedding scheduled. We've got a dusting of snow here as well. My folks are coming down from Minnesota for the weekend, and my Dad wants to play golf Saturday. I hope it warms up...

Last time I 'rescued' Madam La Mook I used a fire hose - maybe just a damp washcloth this time...
We're promised substantially cooler weather through the weekend. Not good news for the outside portion of our fire prevention presentations at the elementary school.
Need our western friends to send some good weather for Friday the 20th - daughter's big day, I gain a son-in-law. She wanted a fall wedding, hopefully she won't get a winter wedding instead...

one big washcloth for the mookie coming up.calling for sprinkles or snow flurries today and a freeze warning for tonight. hey cw how about some stew for lunch with some cornbread?sunflower is comfortable under all the blankets on matts bed.

Yawn - CW you are up early this morning! I need some help from the next person in - got gooey on my face from the cinnamon roll. Then I get it on a paw, then the face - it is a never ending problem. Need a wash cloth! Paws taste good however! And the butter was divine! One bite, one lick.
Only 39 overnite for us. Maybe a little lower, but no hard freeze yet. Poor Driver - his nose would make a better faucet. I used to do that, but I gave it all to him! Isn't that love - you give people things?
Going to go lay on my back in the hammock - wait for Joe or Tree or somebody to rescue me.

The arctic front swept through this morning and it looks like 25 degrees will be the low temperature tonight. The big chill has indeed arrived.
I would like to wish a happy birthday to everyone who has had a birthday recently or is going to have a birthday in the next couple of days. I know there are a lot of you!
With no homework, tonight looks like a good night to light a fire in the fireplace and watch a good movie or read a book in bed.
TTFN.
yes carl yes he does due to the quick action of Pat!!(thanks again) Mexican tonight? sounds good.give us a couple plates to go please.stay dry(if possible)

Oh, I think Matt has a hat somewhere!
We might get flaky rain tonight, too. It's been dreary and wet all day (a half inch in our gauge). I returned to work to find a retarder out of service, some of my switch protection not working, a substitute hump engine that couldn't hold a steady speed (or go over the hill because its plow wouldn't clear the retarders), and--natuarlly--a yard full of stuff waiting for me/us to switch out. Bedtime's five hours away, but I can hardly wait.

So you are stuck with what I'velined up for lunch and supper.We will have a Mexican Fiesta Day:tacos and other Mexican dishes, and you can "build your own" tacos;we also have a Fiesta Meatloaf that is very, very good.Message From:The Cook
Nothin' wrong with that. Enchilada, frito frijoles, and a couple of tacos (I prefer flour tortillas) ought to take care of me for the night....
uh oh the cat is back better get out of the hammock. had one round of rain this morning with more coming our way then mother nature opens up the freezer.going to make sure matt has a hat to cover his ears with.and in the silly criminal department if you rob a cab dont leave your wallet with drivers license in the back seat.
Man oh man, pancakes, bacon, scrambled eggs, sausage and waffles sound awfully good to me this morning. I got out of bed only about fifteen minutes ago, I slept in this morning and it's 7:30 here.
It's a COLD morning here, we have an outdoor temperature of 34 degrees. It will not get above 38 this afternoon and we have freeze warnings for tonight. The temperature is supposed to dip down to about 22. There is a possibility that we could get snow or freezing rain before the end of the week. The Black Hills of South Dakota is usually the first spot in this state to get snow, so I'll be keeping a watch on the weather reports for that area.
Well, I hope everyone out there has a good day!

You guys get school off for the tourney!? Down here in Papio we can get out of school, but our parents have to sign out a nice little form and there will be make-up work to do.

Friday was going to be off anyway for a teacher inservice, but Thursday is an early dismissal for everyone because of softball with no forms to sign. I guess we're just lucky!
