Sunday Roll Call

Good morning everyone!! The reason for the bouncie person is that we up here are not getting as much snow as projected. We were supposed to get 12 with it starting at midnight, now we are only getting 5-8, but we are right now getting freezing rain.  Saw my niece, her husband and the rest of her kids and grandkids yesterday. Stopped at one of our favorite resale shops and got a brand new soft insulated lunch box thingie that can hold about 8 water bottles. If I put less water in I can take a couple of those freezer paks things and some cheese or another snack. Also got some soft fleecies to wear with jeans. Not much after that, went to Mass last night to try out the Catholic church. It was packed due to the weather forecast and there were a lot of visitors like us. I had gone to that church when I was a kid when we would come to the Dells. We have tried about a 1/2 dozen churches so far up here. Not much going on today. We might try and drive for breakfast or we might just walk. There is sidewalk on each side of the road, It might be slick but if we are careful we can still make it. We both have good boots for being out for that kind of walking. Well, have a great day. Another welcome home to our new loosers and pop in and ask  if you need to. Another big WOOHOO to our upcoming loosers. You all take care and enjoy what is left of the weekend.   & Christine

Good Morning Chris and Dave. No freezing rain here, just gray skies and sprinkles. Its in the middle 30s at this time.  For Christina and Calvin and Dawn and her family, be careful coming home. There are flash flood warnings out.  My 'big' plans for today include laundry and picking up. Then watching the Datona 500. Chile cheese spread will be the snack of today with baked chips.  Have a good and safe day. Hugs

Good morning everyone, Well I do have some exciting news I finally got all of my mail for the week and in it was an acceptance letter for the nursing program at my college. I have been there for over 2 yrs. This will be a big motivator for me to get better huh?  Not really anything else going on here. I think I might get in the shower today. Yesterday everyhting was so hetic. Take care everyone Measha

Yay Measha, that's so exciting, and yes what a motivater huh?  congrats!!!!

Congrats on being accepted  into the IVCC program. I hear its great. Hugs

Good Sunday morning everyone!  I sit here stil in my jammies and robe and have discovered why it's better for me to just get up, showered and dressed right away.  If I come downstairs first I have to really motivate myself to get back upstairs and get ready.  lol  I had to come down though and give Phantom his meds.  He's got some allergic reaction going on and we can't figure it out.

Today I have some family coming over for a game day.  The weather will actually play a big part in if they still come or not.  Right now it's just rainy and very windy here but it's supposed to change over to freezing rain and then snow later.  I really hope they can come, I miss our family game days!  I love my family.

Well everyone please stay safe, dry and warm on this gloomy sunday.

 

Wow, I forgot about Dawn and her family being in Madison. I do not think that they will make it home if they are going today. They are telling everyone here to stay off of the roads, they have closed the shopping malls and they even shut down public transportation. In the area where I am at which is about 60 miles north of Madison we will be getting blizzard conditions later on today.  We got out for breakfast and it was really slick. We needed to get Dave some meds because he is coming down with a nasty cold, upper respitory thing. He took a long soak in the jacquzzi and it helped him feel better plus the Tylenol cold med is taking away his headache. Chris

Good morning Illinois!  It's raining steadily here in Mundelein...took the dog out at 5:00am and the driveway was really slippery, so be careful if you're out and about!  Supposedly this will be turning to snow, but not sure when.  Glad there's no school tomorrow (President's Day)  in case we have to dig out!  Today there's not much planned.  Our lab had ACL surgery this past Tuesday so I'm confined to the main floor with her.  She's doing great so it's all worth it.  I have reading to do as well as a paper to start for my graduate class on Thursday.  Read an entire John Sandford book yesterday!  DH plans to watch the Daytona 500 so it's taco salad for a late lunch and maybe some Italian sausage for dinner, if we're even hungry.  Be careful Christine as you make your way around the Dells! Hope all is well in the Land of Lincoln!

Christy, we are not planning on going anywhere today except to walk about 1/4 mile away from our hotel room. There is a Jamacian rest that is having a Daytona party and we also wanted to walk right across from there later on tonight and share a Sushi combo appetizer. Chris

Sounds like fun!  We're on for the Daytona 500 too.  Sushi sounds wonderful!  Enjoy the day!
