Good morning I hope your weather is nicer than mine, we have rain and wind. The snow is all gone except for the piles that slid off the roof and a few drifts. When I went back and read the posts on our first Coffee and.... thread I see that we had about the same weather a year ago. Moisture is moisture so I shouldn't complain, (dry climate here). I'm sure Carol (the even one) is getting rain too but she doesn't usually need any. I used to live about 40 miles from her, too bad we didn't have DG then or I might have met her by now. Maybe someday.

Woodspirit, I hope you feel better soon. Probably you aren't the only one in that crowded house that came home with some Christmas germs. Unfortunately, more people, more germs. Add the stress of so much activity and the results aren't so good. Drink lots of juice and get plenty of rest. I'm glad you didn't go to work. I can hardly wait to see that greenhouse with plants in it. You did real well to find so many windows you could salvage to build it economically.

Today is my hubby's birthday. He is 68 and the other day he said he is surprised he has lived this long. He shouldn't be, I take good care of him! I gave him his gift already with his breakfast, and he also opened one from our son and daughter in law. And then went off to work. He likes his job so working on his birthday is not bad. He got a 4 day weekend over Christmas and probably will get the same for New Years.

One of my neighbors gave me a bottle of wine as a gift, she said she had no idea what the wine would be like but she picked it out for the label. If she asks, I will tell her they should stick to making labels and leave the bottles empty. We all tasted it and it went down the drain. UCK!

My new kitten has gotten very frisky. She hasn't met the other house cat except an accidental meeting at a distance of about 5 feet with me standing in the middle, both puffed up but there was no growling, and one closer where I had the older cat in my lap and the kitten aproched, I held on to the older cat but she just stood up on my lap and looked down at the kitten who was on the floor near my feet, still no growling. The kitten found something else to do and then I took the older cat into the bedroom, petted her a lot until she purred, then closed the door. I do think this is gonna work but I think more time is better. Sooner or later that oops will come and then there will be no choice.

Gardengram, welcome. Yep, you've joined. I guess you looked us over for a while and decided we are harmless. I'm sitting here in my robe and slippers too, and my oatmeal is cooking on the wood heater. Nuts and a few craisins sound good in it this morning. What is your job at the hospital! We have one ER nurse here, she checks in about once a week on average, works a night shift. I emagine the holidays are a wild time in the ER.

JoanJ, it's nice to have you stop in too, come back whenever you can. As you have probably noticed, some of us post on these coffee threads several times a day, and some folks just come about once a week or once every few weeks. We seem to have quite a few lurkers and that's ok too. No secret society here, we probably couldn't keep the secret!

Dcat, I hope you don't have another stone. Drink lots and lots and lots of water and juice and maybe you can flush it out soon. They blast them apart with lasers now, way better than the fishing expedition they did when my hubby had his first one, shudder! That was bad. I asked him if he kept it and he said no, he thought the urologist was building a retaining wall. Nobody but my husband would think of that!

Hap, I hope you have a comfortable flight, no panic. I'm not overly comfortable in those things either and always glad to get my feet back on the ground.

I'll be back later, got to feed my horses, they are running around having fun and keeping warm this morning, then I'm going to town to do my Tuesday stuff and have lunch with my daughter in law. She starts classes next week and then will have no time for the whole term. I'm proud of her, she is getting almost all A's.

Oh, one more thing, I need to name the kitten. Any ideas. Meezer gets first choice since she also has or will have a kitten to name and she asked first.
