Think I'll sit down here for a bit... (11)

Happy amateur's night. The hard core drinkers will be cloistered away so they don't get into trouble.

I took 2 packets of Emergen-C. It's kind of like Airborne. I'm just tired and achy more than anything else right now.

Other than New Year's Eve service, we did not go anywhere. There is this thing called a blizzard going on right now.

Our travel plans are changing. A very active member died tonight suddenly of a heart attack. When we know when the funeral is, we will be able to adjust our plans. May end up flying.

Please keep Elmer's family in your prayers. This is such a shock for his family and everyone who knows them.

It's snowing outside and looks a lot like a Hollywood set. The snow is light, sparkling and looks totally fake! Simply too beautiful to be real. Looks like if I'm going to finish clearing that tree off the drive, I'll have to walk out to it.

The dogs woke me by barking around 1:30. Thought it might have been some kind of 'Bad Guy', like maybe a bear. They do show up from time to time here. But no, it was likely just snow dropping out of the trees onto the roof. Turned on the exterior lights and couldn't see any tracks in the snow, so it was likely just an imaginary Bad Guy.

Well, a beautiful way to start the new year, hope all of you had a great time tonight. I'm going back to bed.

Woke up able to talk for the new year! Looking forward to day at home - watching the Rose parade and Rose Bowl. Go Badgers!

Quilty - sorry for your friend's family - but happy your friend is spending new year's with the Lord.

Stude - my beagle hears imaginary bad guys every day. He cries wolf all the time. I don't pay any attention anymore.

I, for one, am glad to see 2010 in the rear view mirror. Things do look brighter for us in 2011. I'm grateful to God for getting us through last year.

In february, we will be traveling to Australia. It has to do with hubby's work - but I get to spend time on the Gold Coast. I told ya 2011 is looking up.

We went from snow on Christmas day to tons of rain for New years, rained hard all night, flash flooding alerts out. My son woke up this morning with Laryingitis.

Two days ago the dog woke up at around 5:45AM and started barking. I went through the house and basement but didn't find a thing. Next day the wife said there was an earthquake in Indiana at that exact time and maybe the dog sensed that. Who knows.

Are you in Mountain Time?

 

[alexnbethmom]

leaving in less than 24 hours to go back home....this has been a wonderful visit, but i'll be so happy to get home.....i don't feel as nervous about traveling this time, but still could use some serious prayers for safe travel, and that my car actually makes it in one piece....

hope everyone had a lovely New Year's Eve - and i hope and pray everybody has a Blessed 2011.....today is 1/1/11!!!

Well, say hello to my friend Tony when you're down there. Watch out for the snakes. They will chase you and among the most poisonous in the world (yes, I have a problem with snakes ). Also, get some two-gallon ziplocks for your shoes. It keeps the creepy-crawlies out.

As to the dogs, yeah, I see what you mean. However, it's not always imaginary around here, LOL. Also, my Dad used to say to never ignore a barking dog. So, out they go to find the 'Bad Guy' who and what-ever they happen to be. On really cold, wet days it's quite an incentive for them to keep their mouths shut.

 

[Aibrean]

Well I'm feeling tons better today. My fever broke and I just have a lot of congestion (plugged ears).

Snakes! Eeeeek!

Glad you are feeling better. I can talk again, but my chest still hurts and I have a cough. I don't think I'll be going to church in the morning.

 

[Aibrean]

Seajoy I'm not either. I know I'll be hacking as soon as I wake up and with all the singing in the Divine Service...yea not a good idea

 

[goldbeach]

If you're reffering to me I'm on CST.

 

[Aibrean]

OK...because I read it was just before 8AM (EST). The dog was an hour off...
