And the countdown is…

69!  Today has been another lovely sunny mild day.  It is 54 degrees, however the p**p will start to hit the fan tonight as we have a cold front coming through bringing a few inches of snow along with it.  If it is bad I just won’t go out tomorrow.

I have been to the doctor appointment this afternoon.  I am now the recipient of another new med.  After reading the side effects of it I don’t want to take it.  I really do like this doctor though and I guess I have to put my trust in him to know what he is doing.  I will have lab done in 1 week to see how this med is affecting my blood.  One lab after another, oh boy, can’t wait.

This is a quick update as for some reason I am worn out by todays events and I am longing to sit down and relax.  You all stay safe and be happy.

Wind advisory and Christmas Bazaars…

A wind advisory is in effect for today with warm gusting winds.  It is 54 degrees this morning and climbing.  I really am not fond of the way the weather flip flops here in autumn in central Illinois.  This all means of course that another cold front will be coming through soon with rain and colder temperatures.

Yesterday I set the alarm so that I could get an early start  to the  Christmas Bazaars.  The first one was at the First United Methodist Church.  It was very nice.  There were lots of homemade goodies for sale.  Homemade noodles, etc.  Lots of homemade angel food cakes I was told by the ladies that were made with the egg whites left from making the noodles.  I purchased a huge peppermint angel food cake.  It is delicious.  These cakes were priced at only $5.  The pies were 8 inch and were priced at $10.  No pie for me, only the cake.  Then I moved on to the Miller Senior Center where I found nothing to tempt me; moving on to the Assembly of God Church where I found some darling little Christmas things.  I won’t mention what these are.  And that was it!  by this time I was starting to get tired so I came home.  All in all, a very nice morning.

This morning I am not doing much.  I have some beef cubes on cooking to make beef and noodles.  I shouldn’t have the beef but I have been hungry for beef and noodles so I thought what the heck, fix yourself some beef and noodles.

I hope you all are enjoying a lovely weekend.  Stop by if you are traveling through Central Illinois for a piece of peppermint angel food cake and a cup of tea.

Bring on the cold front…

it is too darn hot here.  Yesterday topped out with an actual temperature of 99 degrees here.  A strong cold front is supposed to move through here tomorrow and temps on Monday predicted to be in the lower 60s.  I sure hope so, I will fling the doors and windows open and enjoy it.  I might even put on a pair of jeans and a sweatshirt on Monday.    Now don’t you all remind me of this statement in another month or two when the snow is flying and the temp is below zero.

Yesterday as I said was HOT!  It was a good thing I was forced to stay inside because the tree trimmers came at 9 AM and didn’t finish till after 2 PM

Click on pictures to make larger.  When they were finished the tree was a lot barer. I will get out after while and take a picture of the finished product.  One thing is for sure, I won’t have as many leaves blowing up and blocking my front door this winter.  Click on pictures to make larger.

My niece came over in the midst of this and had lunch with me and watched Y & R.

I need to go now and check on my laundry.  Have a good one everyone.  Stay safe and be happy!!
