I went on my early walk this morning around 6:45,I notice some of the sidewalks that weren't shoveled when I went out early yesterday now are
I plan to stroll over to my close friends,Marcia&Dave's house{they live 2 blocks away} for our weekly chat around 9:30.{weather permitting}I talked to them yesterday to make sure they would be home.They are my "Buffalo family',they 'adopted' me about 8 yrs ago.They also are church members,they are the only ones I see on a regular basis, our church has been closed since March
The rest of my day reading my book,may go for afternoon walk
 
Very cold and blustery here!
I've spent the day puttering around. So far I've done a little cleaning, condensed the Christmas leftovers and froze some of the meat, made a small pot of navy bean soup and now I'm getting ready to plant an amaryllis bulb.

Easy Bean Soup
1 14.5 ounce can of navy beans or other plain canned beans with liquid
1 can of tap water
1 carrot
1 rib of celery with leaves
1 small onion
1 bay leaf
1 packet of GOYA ham flavored bouillon
2 or 3 ounces of ham
a splash of apple cider vinegar
S&P to taste

Chop the ham and vegetables into bean-sized pieces and toss all of the ingredients into a pot, bring to a simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes until the vegetables are tender.

Spent the night Christmas Eve with my youngest son's family. My sweet-hearted grandson insisted I sleep in his new bed and it played havoc on my back so I had to leave before the ham came out of the oven on Christmas Day :(. But we had an excellent Christmas morning as usual and I did eat a few Christmas pancakes before I left.

My 10 year old granddaughter wanted to come home with me, but I made her stay for the ham dinner. (In reality, I didn't think it was a good idea for me to drive her while my back was acting up.) Her big brother brought her over yesterday evening. ..So today I'll be chillin' with Ariel and her new dolls that Santa brought her.

An update from my earlier post,I was all set to walk over to my friend's Marcia&Dave's when 'Mother Nature' decided to start blowing snow making it difficult to see outside
I did go outside one more time around 11am didn't go far just to get fresh air,I could see where I was going it was cold brrr
 
This morning around 6:30,went on my early walk,what a difference compared to yesterday
There was no wind,actually felt 'balmy' temp in the low 30's,a few sidewalks were actually shoveled which makes a huge difference
My plans today,read the paper,do a 'meet&mingle' zoom meeting with church members at 11am we do this every other Sun.There are usually 10 of us who show up each time.Its a great way to stay connected since our church has been closed to members since March.
This afternoon I'll call ahead,then walk over to my friends Marcia&Dave house for a brief visit.At 4pm,have my weekly family zoom meeting
 
Well the sun is shining, it's a beautiful day. Lots of walkers going past my house , many people come out into the countryside during a holiday on a nice day, to walk and come especially to meander through the woods...

It's very cold , I would usually go out and get some winter photos on a day like this, but I'm going to stay home.

O/h is in the barn painting shelves ...
 
Yesterday i was looking for something on the top shelf of a closet.
Guess what..........
The sorting mode activated.
Instruction manuals, vacuum attachments, for things that died forever ago.
So, that shelf is getting a good going over.

Making muffins this morning.

Still buried in my jigsaw passion.

hahaha... you've inadvertently caused me an hour of work... :eek: your post reminded me that the shelf above me here in the office has a box which I had to clear out, so after I read your post I immediately got the box down, and in there were several surprising things I didn't know about , so I set about putting them into their correct homes...one of which was the barn where my o/h is currently working.

I took the stuff up there, and then remembered I had to clean the patio canopy, it only needed leaves brushing off it, but still it meant ladders out of the shed, and brushes.. ..then because it rained so much during the night, I had to take the doormats and brush them down outside after coming in from the garden, then put them into the washing machine, where they are now , and then quickly mop the kitchen floor of mud...

So please @MickaC , next time you get an idea about clearing out stuff..can you keep it to yourself.. :ROFLMAO::LOL:
