Everybody!!!!

Despite the perkiness of my animation above, I'm barely awake this morning. But I thought I'd check in on this second day of December. Today we have an expected high of 38 degrees. Low about 27 degrees. Cloudy. Damp. But no snow.

Right now, I'm feelin' just about as whimpy as this day is. So after having breakfast and doing a few household chores, I think it'll be back to bed for me. Nothing like a mid-morning nap after a skimpy night's sleep and a sluggish wake up to a dreary day.

Hope everyone on Our Front Porch is well and doing okay. I know we all have our various issues and maybe even trials and tribulations, but it is yet good to be on this side of God's green earth. And so in spsite of my sometimes lingering malaise, I am joyously jumping up inside (my head) with the prospect and promise of new days ahead. Things will get better Porchers and remember, "This too shall pass."

Hello, Everyone,

Well it looks like I'm back. It's almost like AARP gets constipated on my computer for a few days and then feels better. During the whole time I couldn't get on here via the computer I was still able to play AARP games. Go figure.

So this I what I was going to say on Black Friday...

Of course this was the year my friend put pumpkin pie back in the mix, so I had some for breakfast and then again at dinner. She also had this great chocolate cake. She sent me home with some turkey and stuffing! And I went to bed with some Tums… I’m so not used to eating so many different foods in one day!

Friday was my bimonthly trip to the bank and Fresh Market, etc., but I was afraid there was going to be so much traffic because of it being Black Friday…boy was I surprised! No one in the bank, hardly anyone in Fresh Market, not one car in Starbuck’s drive through, and no lines at the Giant (grocery store). Hardly any traffic either. It was so weird! I was smiling all the way!

Have (Hope you had) a good weekend…it’s time to jingle!

Very cold here with a little light snow yesterday and overnight last night.

Hoping the meme will post for me...

This is how I felt Thanksgiving night!

Here's the cake that was served along with the pumpkin pie!

Good morning everyone on this first Tuesday of December 2019! It's a cool morning here on our Front Porch. Hoping you all have a nice afternoon.

There are 23 days before Christmas. I have put up some of our out door decorations today! How about you?

The first Stratford Point Lighthouse was built in 1822. In 1855 a fifth order lens was added to the 28-foot (8.5 m) wooden tower. In 1881, the tower and dwelling were razed and replaced with a 35-foot (11 m) tall, brick lined cast-iron tower and equipped with a third order Fresnel lens. The light was automated in 1970 with a modern beacon. It is an active aid to navigation and is used for Coast Guard housing.

The lighthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.

Afternoon Thursday, 36* cloudy. Been busy playing pin cushion again.

As for decorating don't know, my wreath is coming the rest is missing. If it's in the attic it can remain up there.

So, I send you lobster traps instead from the coast.

@catwoman500

For your constipated computer, clear cache and cookies. Run updates, run virus scan and just for giggles try an antimalware scan.

Your issues have me stumped. When in doubt - Scan! And reboot your router, pull the plug, count to 20 and plug it back in.

And yes, after long days/nights, I'd still like to swing these hunks of glass , plastic and silicon against the nearest wall Come on retirement!

Morning Everybody!

It's overcast, but very light here. Cold, but warmer than it has been. Temp 31 degrees. In the past twenty four hours, we've had rain, high winds (had to really hold on to my steering wheel last night), and snow (this morning). Guess winter weather can't make up it's mind.

Finding myself inside more than outside. So I've been busying myself with household chores like dusting, cabinet organizing, cleaning out the fridge and the fireplace. Ad infinitum. By the time Spring rolls around, I won't have anything left to do! lol

Haven't had my daily dose of liquid energy yet. So I'm gonna get to it now.

May you all have the same.

Speaking of art (or the semblance of), you must meet world-renowned performance artist Rabunzel who "is celebrated for her avant-garde work, which is an irreverent critique of modern-day vegetables".

Good morning everyone on our Front Porch on this Thursday morning in December 2019! We are looking at a high temp of 38* and light snow in the afternoon.

Not much going on today. It was 18* for our friend Wayne's memorial service yesterday. The service was very nice and we went to the Military Honors ceremony at the cemetery afterwards. His grave site is very close to a local golf course that we played in a league on Mondays.

May everyone have a great day today!

Wayne RIP!

Good to everyone on the Front Porch on this very cold Wednesday morning in December of 2019! It was 5* when I got up at 8:00 AM and looking at a high of 18* if you can call that a high.

Mary is wrapping Christmas presents for our early celebration on Tuesday as that is the results of juggling our three daughters schedules and their in laws celebration days.

Hoping everyone is having a nice day.

Hello, Everyone,

It was nice to see the sun this morning after a couple of nasty rainy days. Already thte clouds are blowing in although we aren't supposed to get any rain for the next 10 days! Maybe a snow shower though. It's 36 and feels like 27. We are expecting arctic temps come in for tonight and tomorrow, but it's supposed to get to 50 sometime this weekend!

After doing a little errand running earlier, it's good to be home with a Starbucks peppermint mocha.

Stay cozy and warm!

Santa needs more coffee!

So does you know who!

Good Friday morning to everyone on the Front Porch on this sunny morning! We are looking forward to a high of 41*. I would like to dedicate today to all of the military personnel stationed away from home and family this Holiday season. Some are stationed in harm's way and some are providing aid to people that were driven from their home Lands. When we are sitting down to our family gatherings may we take a moment to remember those fellow Americans that are not with friends and family members. I will be thinking of my fellow Veterans who are homeless trying to make sense of their lives after returning from combat and feeling alone an broken. Bless them all!

Happy Friday, Everyone,

Still waiting for the warm-up here. It isn't as cold as yesterday, but still below our normal for this time of year.

As I pulled up to pay for my Starbucks this AM, my favorite barista informed me that the person in the car ahead of me had paid for my order. I love this time of year! Wish it happened more often. So I paid for the guy behind me and drove off smiling with a happy heart.

Kind of like a Hallmark moment!

Pay it forward!

Morning folks. Not cold here, just cloudy and wet. Expecting a warm up over Christmas. Mom's companion will be released Christmas Eve morning, I may have to pick her up if none of her friends are available. Cannot wait to see what I will be up against. Things cannot get much worse or difficult than they are right now.

Merry Christmas Eve Eve, Everyone!

I got up early today as it was supposed to be a busy morning, but one event was cancelled, so I could move a little more slowly.

Had to go to the post office and was expecting mayhem in Bedlam, but it wasn't real busy. I did hate to have to bother the girls to mail a package to Canada (an involved process), but one of my customers won 3 of my auctions and paid right away, so I HAD to mail within 24 hours.

As long as I was out and about and the town didn't seem crowded, I went into the florist's to get a pretty Xmas bouquet, and then on to CVS. Was thiking of stopping at Starbucks, but decided I didn't need the extra calories considering the next few days ahead.

Now I need to make the final layer on my Xmas jello salad, so will bid you all a Merry day!

I need some of this right now.
