You need more than a hat one in temps this low. LOL

Too bad your son isn’t a Canteener; guess we’ll have to wait for someone to volunteer :~p

[MEG33]

I had a wonderful Christmas with family..quiet New year and have miserable messy allergies now. Glad the misery happened after my family visits and not while they were here..

[SandRat]

[luvie]

Howdy EGC! (((hugs)))

Goin’ fairly well for a chilly morning! I know it’s colder up there though, so you and Bo stay in where it’s warm and cozy!

I can’t even get my kitties to go out much less stay for any length of time. :)

[luvie]

Yes, I found that out by going out for a few minutes to feed hubby’s birds, since he’s still gone. I didn’t tarry. LOL!

Wish he was a Canteener but he says he doesn’t have time. *rolling eyes*

[beachn4fun]

Hubby is still out of town? Poor girl, who’s cooking for you :~p

[luvie]

Nobody is cooking! LOL! I’m eating lots of frozen entrees and sammiches. I might starve if he doesn’t get back soon. *grin*

JK...we have lots of fast food joints around here to keep me alive.

He said yesterday that his mom said he couldn’t come home because I had trained him too well and he was kinds handy. I think she’s giving him a workout! LOL! Kinda funny......

[luvie]

Same for me...except it has to be hot tea. :) With lots of caffeine!

[SandRat]
