Sunshine On My Shoulder

 

Hello and happy Sunday!

Today has been too nice to be cooped up 

in the house. After we ran some errands 

and enjoyed a picnic in our car at a nearby 

park, I decided to spend some time working 

outside.

It has been so cold lately and we have spent 

ALOT of time inside, it was time to be outside! 

Did some sweeping, put up the St. Patrick's 

flags, put out a different door mat, tied up a bit 

of our garage and generally putzed around in 

and out of the garage.

So amazing what a little bit of time in the sun

will do for a person. Hope you were able to 

enjoy some sun this weekend!

**************

Last Thursday I was able to get my second 

vaccine dose. So nice to have that taken care 

of. Mr. Ken is till waiting though and I know 

that a lot of you are too. Sometimes working 

in Education has it's added perks. 

Take care friends. See you next month!

Did you Know?

 

Hello from the tundra of Kansas! Been home 

from school since Friday, yesterday was remote 

training and the other days were remote teaching.

Today we are talking Coffee Filters and what you 

can do with them besides the obvious.

1. Use them as covers on bowls in the microwave.

2. Wipe windows, chrome and mirrors when 

     cleaning. They are lint free.

3. Protect your china by separating each plate 

     etc with a filter.

4. If you have a cast iron skillet, put ne in the 

     skillet to absorb any moisture and prevent 

     rust.

5. When shining shoes, ball on up and shine 

     those shoes.

6. Taco Tuesday coming up?  Use the filters 

     to hold your tacos.

7. When potting plants, place one filter in 

     the bottom of a pot to keep the soil from 

     going through the drain hole.

8. During the warm months or when you have 

     popsicles, poke a hole in the filter to catch 

     any drips.

9. Place your fried bacon, fries, chicken etc on 

     a plate with several filters on it to catch the 

     grease.

10. Use as sewing backing to embroidery or 

       appliqueing. They are easy to tear off.

11. These make great Christmas ornament 

       wrapping for  storage.

12. Popcorn and a movie? Great for holding 

       your popcorn treat during movie night.

Can you think of more?

A Three Day Weekend (sorta)

 

Happy Saturday! Currently our temperature is 1 and 

the real feel is -2. Party city here!  It will get 

worse before we have 40's late next week!

It's a holiday weekend!

Valentine's Day is tomorrow!

Where has this month gone?

 

Since it is going to be so cold and we are not easting 

in restaurants yet, we are opting for carry 

out from one of our fave places. They 

have a nice four course meal that we 

will choose from.

What are your Valentine plans?

A little vintage valentine action on my little tree.

A very good friend of mine made this Valentine 

cutie for me. Love her.

 Hope your day is special and filled with lots of love.

*************************

Monday is President's Day and  we both have the day 

off. Going to try and finish up our painting. 

Then our looooong renovation project will 

almost be finsihed! Just a few little things 

after that. Who knew this project would 

have soooo many obstacles?

In my title for this post, I added "sorta" to the title.

I kinda had a four day weekend because we had

remote learning yesterday vis Webex. Kinda nice

to be at home but still see my kids. Plus we got to

see actual faces--no masks! 

Monday also is a big day here. 23 years ago Mr. 

Ken and I went on our first date! As most 

of you know we do celebrate this day 

each year, it is something fun to do and right 

now we all need as much fun as possible. Since 

temps will be dangerous to be out in, 

not too sure what our plan is but we 

will celebrate for sure!!

Take care, be safe and stay warn if it is cold 

where you are.

fix the text.

A Little Game Tomorrow

Good Afternoon!

In our house it is Chiefsmas Eve! As I am sure 

you know tomorrow is Super Bowl LV and we 

are so excited that our Kansas City Chiefs are 

going to be there again!!! We are hoping for 

another "W."

Nervous would be an understatement for how 

we are feeling, but we have confidence in our 

coaches, QB and team.

Regardless of who you support, it should be a 

good game.

Are you going to watch the game, commercials 

or something else?

If you are watching, what is on your Super Bowl

menu? We are having Chili, cheese and crackers, 

Super Bowl cookies that I am decorating and 

several munchie type yummies. It will just be Mr. 

Ken and I this year and that is fine.

Don't forget to peek in on the Puppy Bowl.

We love to watch the puppies run around

and play plus it is good to know that  

viewers can adopt the pups.

Enjoy your day tomorrow, you know where 

we will be at 5:30 pm.  :) Go Chiefs!!!

On another note, received my first

vaccine dose yesterday. Thankful for 

this. Praying for those still waiting

for theirs.
