    Good morning everyone, I hope everyone has their chimney cleaned out. Hmmmm., how does Santa stay so clean after going down so many chimneys? He will have to use the wheel option on his sleigh tonight as most of the country does not have a snow cover. All the air traffic controllers are ready to divert aircraft around Santa as he travels from town to town. I wonder which one of the unlucky elves is on popper scooper duty tonight? I will be sure to have cookies and milk out for Santa if he gets hungry.

    Merry Christmas to all,

    Jerry

    Happy Christmas Eve! We had 1/8th inch of rain yesterday, more predicted for today, tonight and tomorrow morning. We really need the rain, but it sure would be nice to have a sunny day for Christmas. Temps are in the mid-upper 40s.
    Good thing Santa goes from roof top to roof top... otherwise he and those reindeer would have to wear their galoshes when they got SE Texas!

    Good morning all. Well all the flurries of wonderful white stuff falling from the sky has been taken out of our forecast. We will be getting rain later today, but I am not holding my breath waiting for it after the way all the good weather has been going somewhere else lately.

    I have four loaves of cinnamon swirl bread to make today and a fruit salad. Then we three will spend the rest of the day watching movies (we each got to pick one) and for dinner we are having a Duck breast and roasted potatoes for dinner.
    Our youngest wanted a whole Duck but we could find only one in an Oriental market the other night, it was too small for three people and cost almost $40. So we found a 2.5 pound Duck breast instead.

    It has rained, poured rain here all day today. Our road is a creek bed and our yard is a lake. Nothing is soaking into the ground. We've had a lot of rain these past two weeks. It says rain tomorrow and Monday so we may be grounded or maybe that's watered.
    It's been in the 40's but so humid we've had the heaters going since I didn't bake today.

    Good morning all. Hope Santa was good to everyone who takes part in the holiday tradition. We got neither snow flurries or even rain last night but it is overcast and chilly this morning.

    In a couple of hours we will pack up gifts, and head over to our oldest daughter's place to enjoy the day with her and the grandsons.

    Good morning! It's cloudy and gray and maybe more rain. I need to go pick my salad for dinner before I have to go out in the rain to do it.
    It poured rain all day yesterday and was still raining when we went to bed. It was raining at 5 am when Chance just had to go out, too.
    Lots of good books and reading material under the tree this morning.

    Merry Christmas to you all. Just checked the rain gauge and there was just a tad over an inch. Today is overcast and drizzly.
    My darn truck battery died overnight... and wouldn't you know it, even Walmart is closed! Aaarrgghh! Waiting on one of my cousins to come over and see if his boat battery will work until I can replace it tomorrow.
    In the meantime, everything is just about ready to eat!

    Good Sunday evening all. It was an early day - my youngest was up about 7am! I made our turkey dinner early and now we are all content and relaxing. I'm sure I will be in bed early tonight. My daughter wants to go to the Mall tomorrow to spend her Christmas money :)
    Hope everyone had a great day.

    Good Monday morning all. Currently -1°C and overcast. Took the dog for her walk this morning and noticed that the driveway and road are a sheet of ice. We must have had freezing rain overnight. I don't think I want to drive to the mall with the roads like that! Besides, I'm sure the stores were picked clean on Christmas Eve ;)
    Have a great day all!

    Happy Day After Christmas. Today is another overcast cool day. Got 1/8th of rain yesterday... or more like drizzle since it lasted all day... and more rain in the forecast for today.
    I'm working up the nerve to go to Malmart to get a new battery for the truck. Other than that... nothing planned.... unless the sun comes out.

    Good morning! We had a good day yesterday and I hope everyone else did too.
    It's raining this morning. Five days in a row, rain, rain, rain, rain and still more rain. Yesterday and today it was just dribbles but it's still wet. Hopefully the party cloudy for tomorrow will bring a bit of sunshine.
