Good morning!!!!

[Dftodd]

Nieces wedding was good today. Although with their luck it almost didn't

Here's the back story..

Niece and her husband tried to do a destination wedding in Florida back in April. Two days before they were to get married, the venue called them and canceled due to Covid. So they enjoyed their honey moon stay down their but never actually got to get married.

So this morning, the judge who was a family friend who was gonna perform the ceremony called...... and canceled do to an illness and not feeling well.

They were able to scramble and thankfully an uncle who is a minister was able to step in and perform the ceremony.

It was a great ceremony with a comic ending when one of the kittens that was running around (solid black) decided to invite itself into the ceremony and decided the train and vail of the brides dress was the best thing to play with

The kitten exited stage left with a quick toss by the maid of honor

Reminds me... I had a favourite cookie too. Now 72 but I have loved them since I was a toddler. THEY STOPPED MAKING THEM!! Arghhhh!!! Griffins Round Wine. Couldn't get enough of them and now NO MORE.... New Zealand Cookies that were sold in some shops in Oz.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers for my Buddy. He just retired from the Air Force recently. He is a Wing Commander and a brilliant bloke.

All is not lost: They now make a Super Wine. Looks the same but as a diabetic I stay away from all.

Yes Jim They sell Super Wine here in the supermarket But it is a bit stronger and I don't like them as much as the round wine. I am quite devastated. Really.... I used to visit NZ frequently and always bought back lotsa packets. We had a couple of shops here that sold NZ products including the Wine biscuits but last time I rang to order they told me the sad news.

26 right now....high at 30 today... No snow (storm tracked further east). Too bad...would have been nice to get 6-8 inches
No chores today so I'll just putter around...

Up too early...I'll read the news and such while I drink my coffee, than back to bed

Good morning, the temperature is 17°F and going up to 25. Wind N 6 mph. A mix of sun and cloud.

An energy conservation day for sure.


Have a safe day all

good morning all. Chilly out and not getting much warmer, 41 going up to 45 today and down to 25 tonight.
at least no rain in forecast for almost a week, hopefully things will dry out.
Sounds like Toppop got more rain than anyone, about 1.25 inches here.

friend coming over this morning to pick up a birdhouse, then I'm off to lumberyard to buy more cedar boards.
This time I'm going to be a lot fussier on what they give
me and check for dents and cracks. Thankfully the longest board I cut is 12 inches
so I can work around most of the bad spots but at 7 bucks a linear foot, those cracks are expensive...

My church has decided not to open until at least mid January. Next weekend I'm going to attend Solebury Meeting, which is right down the road from me, and I
know lots of their members anyway. Zoom just doesn't do it for me, except for business meetings. 90+ percent of the service is silent prayer, so not much
to "watch" anyway.

all of the birdhouses I shipped by UPS have now arrived, all in good condition. :thumbsup:
Took two days to get to Virginia, three days to Delaware and over a week to get to California.
I still have four more to build, whatever no one claims I'll hang here. Total of 14 built, mostly houses (nesting boxes...) vs feeders.
Several folks mentioned that squirrels ate all their seed so they wanted houses instead. I always found those Chinese coolie hat looking things
worked pretty well on a vertical pole, but anything hanging was fair game, those squirrels are mighty agile.

looking forward to hearing a snow report from our Northern members.

Drinking hot cup of coffee. 25° with cloudy skies this morning. Got a few more things cleaned up on book shelves. Today I will get all the leftover books organize into one book shelf from 4.
Talked to son yesterday. After tomorrows Dr visit he is ready to go back to work.

Drew, no snow to report for Michigan. All that fell last weekend has melted.

Roy, sorry you have to wait for another snow forecast.

DFT, glad nieces wedding went with them getting married.

Phil, cookies look good. I need chocolate chips in mine.

Kyle, when I burned wood for heat. It was Oak then Maple.

Randy, nice looking pond.

RNG and RS, you tow have more projects on you list than I get done in a couple of years.

Prayers and best wishes for everyone.

Good Morning All.

Our favourite wood for burning is Ironbark as it burns very hot. However, we have no fireplace as it is not required where we live. We use a reverse cycle air-con if it gets down to about 60 deg F. That is chilly here.

Our current home, in which we've lived the last 15 years HAS a fireplace and I carefully vacuumed out all the ashes right after we oved in, closed the flue, and we've never used it. The first two homes we had with fireplaces was also when I could go cut my own firewood, and both houses had natural gas with gas starters in the fireplaces, and we used the fireplaces. We now have a total electric home.
