Happy February, friends! Let's pretend we aren't in the Arctic!! Brrrrr!!
Vinny found some sunshine!
I made it to church yesterday, despite the crazy weather! It was 25° at 6:30 a.m. yesterday, and is predicted to be about the same this morning. I wore a sweatshirt, jeans, and fuzzy socks in my sneakers! I also dug out a pair of knit gloves and wore my quilted parka-like coat. Everyone was dressed very much the same way, and we praised our Lord together, happy for a warm church and friends around us! No one seemed in a hurry to leave after the service. It was nice talking with folks as we kinda inched our way toward the door and the cold weather. Next week is our monthly potluck. Sure hope the weather is nicer by then!
My cold is much better, though I still cough and have to blow my nose more often than I like. This too will pass. I did get my usual two loads of laundry done!!
Saturday was spent at home, with nothing to do but prepare for the deep freeze! I had ordered an electric 'throw' in preparation for the cold evenings. The cats like it as much as I do!!
Still going backwards... on Friday, I had lunch and a great catch-up visit with blogging friend, Cheryl (sunlit pathway), and her husband, Pat. They come to Lakeland two or three times a year to visit their son Justin and family. We have been "in-person" friends for many years now. We went to the Metro Diner for lunch and then came back to my house for dessert. I had angel food cake with fresh strawberries and blueberries. We all had coffee with the dessert. They left around 4:00 to get ready for an evening event at their son's church.
The weather was nice enough to sit on the patio for lunch! Crazy cold a few hours later!
Cheryl wanted a picture with Casper and me...
They are here for a couple more weeks, and we plan to have another visit before they go back to Indiana. Hoping the weather gets back to normal for us before they leave!!
That's all I have to muse about on this bitterly cold Monday!! Thanks for checking in today! Wishing you a blessed day, and I hope you are staying safe and warm.
