Ice

 We had another winter storm. One of those with a widely varying forecast. We ended up with freezing rain, then snow, then rain, and ice. 

This was from yesterday morning, or maybe Wednesday night. I worked on it a lot yesterday.

Both are from the library, and both are told, at least somewhat, in the present tense. Strange, but both a good stories.

When we were at the Amish market I got a half pound of turkey lunchmeat. We hadn't eaten any, so I heated it in turkey gravy, made stovetop stuffing, Brussels sprouts, and cranberry sauce. Quick, easy, and delicious! And enough left for another meal! Ralph always thanks me for cooking, and he helps with cleanup!

I have to belatedly thank President Obama for defunding the space program! Manda and Ben hated Houston, and had applied for every transfer they could find, and were on the brink ($100 deposit) of buying a house in Houston. Then Ben got a transfer to WA, and they left Texas for good. Manda always described Texas, and Florida, as not being real states. Good call on her part! If Obama hadn't put the kibosh on the space program, they'd probably still be in Texas and my grandchildren would have accents!

Leftovers for dinner tonight!
