Monday Morning Hello!

Hi blogger pals!
Hope everyone is warm and well...... :)
We are preparing for possible bad weather.....
The weather forecast for us is.....sleet,ice and snow......OH MY!! (couldn't resist that)
I vote for more snow and no ice......
It was sleeting lastnight before dark, but it didn't last very long......
The stuff tonight is supposed begin somewhere around 9:00 or so.....at least that's what they're
saying for the Winter Storm Watch.....so I guess we'll wait and see.....huh?
I suggested that DH should look at the kerosene heaters and make sure they are in working order just in case.......even though we have wood heat....it takes electricity to kick the blower on...
He said he was going to get the generator out and make sure it worked too.......gee, I sure hope we don't have to use either!

Well, we had a wonderful time Saturday night with our friends/neighbors coming over.....
So much food.....the counters were filled on both sides of the kitchen!!!!! Everyone chipped in and brought great things!!!!
My friend that's originally from PA, brought Pecan Bars.....Oh my goodness! They were divine!!
She also brought a linguine salad that is the bomb! I love that stuff!
She makes great salads!
My other sweet friend made her cheese potatoes (they were terrific!!) and a yummy cherry cobbler, along with a tastey taco dip.....that I just about forgot to get out of the fridge......I remembered when we started to play cards.......

DH's ribs were really good and everything tasted just great.....I didn't eat as much as I would have liked.....I still feel stuffed from all the Christmas binging....... :0
Anyhow......we played this game my PA friend brought over called "Worst Case Scenario" Survival Game. It was ALOT of fun with our group! She's a "yard sale nut" and bought this game for .50 at one!!! It looks brand new!!
While there were actually four of us playing...... all the others were sitting in the living room with us with satellite radio playing music from the 60's and 70's......what fun!!!....We all laughed and laughed so much....I even had to excuse myself to the restroom! :0
The game has questions on cards that you ask to each player about what's proper thing to do in a certain type survival scenario.......some of the most logical answers were the WRONG answer.....and some that seemed to be the most ridiculous answers were the RIGHT ones!!!
Too Funny!!!!
We played that for quite awhile then decided if we were going to have time to play Rook that we'd better get started.
So, three of our friends and I went to the kitchen table to play cards and the others stayed in the LR and played the game, listened to music and watched music videos back and forth.....we heard them laughing alot while we were playing cards.....
We played about 4 or 5 hands in all......it was fun but I'm still learning so we really didn't keep up with the points.....I was told I was doing pretty good though.....??
I think it was about 11:00 or so when everyone started going home......I believe we all had a great time!

One of the nicest things is that we all saw each other again Sunday morning at church!
No one had a hangover (cause we don't drink) and weren't embarrased or ashamed for anything
we might have done the night before......just good fellowship and LOTS of laughter!
DH, our kids and I feel we are truly blessed to have such wonderful neighbors that happen to be our best friends! The kids look at them as adopted "Aunts and Uncles" more than just neighbors......I may sound sappy for saying this, but they are in a sense part of our family.......
I know they'd do anything for us if we needed them (and have) and we would do the same for them (and have).....we're blessed!

Sorry for the book......lol.... :)
Guess I had better go get ready to work on some furniture in the woodshop......
Already fixed my DS's lunchbox and he's left for work, washed up the breakfast dishes, made our bed, straightened things up a bit, washed a load of whites and need to toss them over into the dryer......there's a load ready to fold and one left to wash.........
Wonder what to fix for lunch?
It's probably going to be tuna fish or a salad for me!

Have a good day to you all!
