Coffee anyone ?

Power has returned (for us). Cable has returned, and another NorEaster is supposed to hit tonight through Thursday AM. Snow is no problem, but the wind . Much of the state is still without power.

Glad you got power back, hope you get to keep it through the next storm.

@Sourland do you have a generator or wood stove? Being cold is no fun.

Decided to visit you guys this AM...being up at 2AM leaves a little to be desired. Making the most of it with dishwasher & clothes washer & dryer all going.

We got the first of those Nor'easters here last week, thankfully dry...but, the winds were huge. I'm 50 miles inland and had steady 35-40, plus gusts, for two days, then down to 25 another day. Hard to do much in those winds. Lost power one day, about 7 hrs but was warm, so wasn't bad. Besides, I had to work that day & the dog slept. LOL

Bay, the pound cake sounds sooo good! I'm sure it's all gone now BUT, since I am loaded with these fresh eggs, I may whip up a couple tonight. Keep one and share one. That will use up a couple dozen. Need homes for about another 8-10 doz! Guess I'll share with some neighbors.

I'm about coffeed out right now -- waiting for daybreak to go feed. Another work day awaits. The darned work sure gets in my way sometimes! But -- I still enjoy a payday. Old habits die hard

Like you all -- waiting for a warm, sunny Spring & gardening success. DustyBoot, I bred my goats late this year, too. End of month should have kids from 2 ... again in April, 2 more to kid. Milking soon.

Mini Horses, I've got one who looks ready to pop but still has about a month to go. Poor thing!

Dottie, the milk goat, managed to put her filthy foot into my milk pail this morning, so I'm grumpy but the dogs and chickens are happy.

After Hurricane Sandy when we were without power for 10 days, we had a generator installed that is capable of running the entire house, so we were warm. No cable meant we watched a bunch of old DVD s. I forgot how funny Lucille Ball was. Were reaching the point of desperation. It was almost time to start watching videos of plays in which the Princess has performed.

Might have been time to suggest an activity outside the home. Glad you were spared.

Not lanes of memory you wanted to walk down? Gee, I wonder why not?


When I was in college, I sang in the college chorus. One year we did "King David" (I don't remember the composer's name, but it wasn't Alan Menken). A week or so after the performance, we were all given copies of a recording that had been made that night. I kind of lost track of mine, only to rediscover it many years later, still in listenable condition. When I played it, my one thought was, "Gads, I had forgotten what a pain this was to sing!!"

Reckon the Princess would feel the same way about some of her performances?

In hurricane Ike, a 80 year old big oak tree fell on our house. #1 and #2 things to have for hurricane preparations are a box of cheap wine and a large pan of brownies. We had no power, had holes in the roof where curious tree branches intertwined with the sheetrock ceiling, it was raining in the house---BUT I had wine and brownies and everything was right in my world again. We didn't have power for almost a month. Of course the tree had to fall on where the power line came into the house.

DH's place of work was a mess, he missed work. I never missed a day of work. It was hard to take care of all the damage and problems working 10 hours a day, somehow it all got done.

Coffee is ready! With the sunny days we’ve had lately, we’ve been working outside. Kinda sore in a few places, sure need the caffeine boost!
