"spa" closed for repairs today and tomorrow.  We are at 42, but have a wind out of the north @ just about the same.  But mid-week will be back in the lower to mid 50's. 

Sun shining brightly - precursor of 16 above tonite.  Hey, it's January. 

Bruce - bedtime was about 10:15; asleep @ 10:16 - fresh air in afternoon always turns me into a nitetime puddle.  That and really, really bad tv.....

Happy New Year from the new "spa" of the midwest!

AHA!!!  Are the temps. in the "SPA" warmer than 40 degrees?!

If so, we might make a trip in that direction.

In our area, we started at about 58 degrees this morning, now it's about 43 degrees and dropping, with high winds.(no snow, rain, etc., thankfully!)

Happy New Year everyone.

We had a bit of a jolt in our weather yesterday. I was out in the morning and the temps were in the thirties. Last night they dropped to about +5 or so and we are back up to 15° now. The recent nice weather did a pretty good job of getting rid of a lot of our snow.

I was in bed before midnight last night, and I don't have too much going on around here today.

Good Sunday morning and Happy New Year.  I did see the New Year in, but was in bed by 12:15 or so.  And woke up at 7:05.  Bet I'll be going back to bed after awhile.

Coffee, juices, and all the other morning beverages are fresh and ready to go.  Breakfast is on the warmer/serving bar.

Larry, sorry to hear that things went a tad haywire up there last night.  Maybe the kids will learn something positive?  Lets hope so.  Have a safe trip to your daughter's. 

Have a good morning everyone, take care and see you all later.

Here's hoping that your year starts off better than those teens whose party the police just broke up here.   Moms and dads had to come pick them up, with the last three young ladies getting a "courtesy" ride back to their residence in the back seat of a patrol car...

Roads are getting a bit iffy here - hopefully the combination of that and "amateur night" won't cause too many problems, although I've heard at least two dispatches so far tonight on the scanner that included the phrase "appear to be intoxicated..."

Headed to daughter's house in the afternoon for fajitas and Christmas gifts, which will include Papa assembling his gift to grandson...

Well, it's almost 2012, and I have shut down the old Cafe and here we are in our new location.  HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE, AND MAY IT BE A BETTER YEAR FOR ALL OF US!!
