What's on your agenda for today?

I did put the finishing touches on my baby afghan today....thank goodness that's done. Now we just have to wait a couple more months for the baby girl to get here....my new grand-niece. Her mother showed up two months early 35 years ago and scared us to death. She only weighted three pounds and change, but was extremely healthy and was able to come home from the hospital at four pounds even. There weren't much in the way of preemie clothes back then, so my sister and I brought her home in doll clothes. I measured her head in the hospital, got an orange off the tree that was the size of her head and made her a bonnet that didn't swallow her.
 

Thanks all.

Arrived in Glasgow last night. 7 hour flight from Bangkok to Dubai since we had a headwind. So the next flight from Dubai to Glasgow had to wait for about 50 of us to hoof it through the airport. That flight seemed much longer than it's 7 1/2 hours. The couple sitting behind us coughed almost the entire flight! Other than that it was just tiring. Emirates is our favourite airline.

Spent the night in Glasgow then had a big breakfast. Now on the bus/ferry/bus home. Grocery shopping later. We turned off both fridges/freezer before we left. So it's really mother hubbards cupboard.

I see snow on the hills but not the ground.
 
Woohoo...last leg of the trip home for Ameriscot.

I'm probably the only person anywhere who forgot to watch the Super Bowl. Didn't really care about the game or who won but did want to see the commercials.

It's cloudy here this morning so Mr. Groundhog won't see his shadow. Yippee!
 

Welcome back Ameriscot, This is the coldest it's been in your area so far so you didn't pick very good weather to return. We've had snow in Ayrshire, then it thawed a bit, froze, then thawed another bit and later freezing. That's been the pattern for the last few days so we crunch while we walk. Never been to Thailand, it is one of the places I would liked to have gone to. Hope you adjust to the cooler temperatures without catching colds. I'm sure mother Hubbard will have the cupboards stocked up again before long :D

Snow doesn't stick long along our loch and it looks to be only on the hills.

Next year we are booked for Jan/Feb in the same place but bigger house. But we are seriously thinking about adding on Dec.
 
Snowed in here too and it's still coming down - got a big grocery delivery later and hope they make it. Meanwhile, it's just coffee, toast n' jam.

Have a wonderful day everyone and Happy Homecoming to Ameriscot.
 
Good morning, Cookie and everyone, hope your delivery makes it.

It is a cold but sunny day here, nothing much happening here, all my family birthdays are over, so on to February, I do need to
line up an appointment to get my lawn mower serviced for the year today.

Everyone have a wonderful Monday.

Good to read you are home safe and sound. :)

I was having such a great dream hated to wake. Hi all, yesterday was such a beautiful sunny day of 75 degrees, just a short sleeve top sufficed when I walked to the store; today on the other hand, it's still nice temps but there's a slight overcast. I am happy for the mild season her over all.

Georgia, you're not alone in not watching the game, I don't watch any of the major sports, though I do get a kick out of others enjoyment in it some of the time, their joy can at times be contagious, just not enough for me to tune in except maybe for the halftime show.

Jujube, a baby on the way for your family, such lovely news, hoping for a healthy happy delivery for the mom and great joy for the rest of the family.

For the rest of you stuck in the snow, I hear that sweet little groundhog saw his shadow, but not to worry, spring is still just around the corner, though might be a bit delayed. Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr. Stay safe and warm folks, I'll be thinking of you all.
 
AS......Glad you made it home alright but what a long time in the air! I'm also glad you didn't come home to piles of snow which lots of us are surrounded by.

Jujube....You must be very excited about the new baby and I loved your story about using the orange as a hat model! :)

More snow last night and gusty winds. I spent much of the day watching some old movies plus talked to kids and grandkids on the phone - they also have piles of snow.

Patches of snow here which is unusual. In my area it rarely takes more than 24 hours to melt.

This trip home was easy compared to trips to Melbourne Oz. That is a total of 24 hours.

Our trip there was very easy as we only did one leg each day, staying at hotels before the next leg. Wish we had done so on the way back.
 
Today's agenda is unpacking, washing or rewashing (the laundry service used scented detergents) laundry.

Time to look at flights to Michigan in August then look at options for trip to New England with sister in Sept.
 
Good Morning all..

Sorry AS...missed you arriving home yesterday..glad you had a good journey and no hold ups.

I've woken up to quite thick snow here this morning..can just see the outline my car.

I'm very glad I'm not at work today, don't fancy driving in this down the motorway..so hopefully it will be gone by tomorrow when I'm back there

Got GP appointment later...otherwise nothing but Ironing planned for today... what excitement huh?:D

Thanks, Holly. The UK is getting a lot of snow this year! Even our area which sometimes gets no snow and when it does it melts in one day. While we were gone there were the big windstorms and our roof had damage. Fixed while we were gone.
 
Yes I remember you saying that might have happened with your roof, thank goodness you had neighbours who could instigate a repair while you were gone.

last year we had knee deep snow here in the South east which was a big surprise for us being as we competitively rarely get snow here...and the year before we had it for 2 weeks solid...
 
Colder than a banker's heart here. 25F? What???!!!! For those of you with sNOw, it'll go away in the spring. It does every year:)

Working for a neighbor today but it'll take hours and hours. Good think I like what I do!

Welcome home, Ameriscot.
 
Mornin' all - Still quite cold outside here, so don't know if I'll be going anywhere - lots of should do's around the house, and maybe I'll do some of them, maybe not. Need to run across the street to pick up some milk, that's all. Enjoy today!
 
Last night I turned the shower on and there was no hot water! Had loads of cold water though. So this morning I called our local HVAC repair folks and a guy arrived in 2 hours. He examined everything and found that the igniter (?) was kaput so he replaced that and all the wires around it. Now I have to wait a couple of hours to see if hot water actually comes out of the appropriate taps.

Rkunsaw - I think your odds are hilarious but then I thought "what if one outcome is dependent on the other?" This is how I end up second-guessing myself constantly. Hubby used to say that I saw the big picture clear outside the frame.

AS...I hope you're catching up on your sleep after such a long journey.
 
Kath, hope you get a nice hot shower soon!

Will be a while before we're back in our time zone. We've been at 7 hours ahead for 2 months. Went to bed about 8.30 last night. Hubby woke up at 12:30 and got up for a while - cuppa tea and tv. I went back to sleep. Then I woke up at 4 and couldn't get back to sleep. We both got up at 6.
 
I'm the first one up?

Ark, so did you have fun jogging to the Capitol to pick up your lottery winnings? LOL!!!

Not as cold here as predicted. Hope y'all in the northern climes don't get any more sNOw for a while and at least have time to clean up what's already there.

Cleaning a big house today...feel like I should leave a trail of cookie crumbs to each room so that I can find my way back out.
 
Georgia, I've been up since about 6 am, but awake since about 4. We did go to bed at 8pm which we really shouldn't. We should be going to bed at our normal time.

Back to the gym this morning and counting calories.

I'll finish putting away all the laundry I've done and storing my summer clothes in the top of the closet. Then booking airline tickets to Michigan in August.

We've decided to go to Thailand for an additional month this coming winter, so Dec 1 to March 1. It's expensive to hire a car there so we'll have the car for two months and a motorbike for the third month.
