Monday Morning Coming Down…
Yep, not only snow on my car this morning but also a nice layer of ice. And wouldn’t you know, I have to be out and about in an hour or so. I have bills to pay, etc. It is warmer this morning with the temperature hovering at 25 degrees F.
Yesterday was a diamond day for me even though the Bears lost. Now you all know I really didn’t care which team won but I was hollering for the Bears ‘cause you know I do live in Illinois and Jim was a Bears fan. However, the better team won and now I hope they mow down the Steelers.
My daughter and son in law had lunch with me after church yesterday. Roast beef, carrots, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn casserole and cherry cheese pie. Now today I have leftovers. I am going to make BBQ beef sandwiches. My niece is coming over to have lunch with me today.
My son still hasn’t received his cookies. How can a priority mail box take so long to get from here to Chicago? Why did it take a package I sent to Australia a whole month to get there? Something is wrong somewhere. I was talking to my son last night and he wondered if the folks at the post office were enjoying his cookies. 
Oh well, it is only cookies and I can make more of those. Not important in the scheme of things.
I need to close for now. There is still that business of cleaning the ice and snow off my car. I welcome all help.
Now get out there and make this day a diamond one, or as my friend David would say, let’s make this a double diamond one.
Beth
Hi Beth,
ReplyDeleteYes, here's to more diamond days. It is good to see you are getting so much more company and family visits at your new address than you did at your old. Hope the snow and ice melts soon. Hugs Nita
Have a super week... You're starting it off on the right foot (and food), for sure!
ReplyDeleteLove diamond days. Hmmm, I wonder if your son could be right? Lol. Maybe the smell alerted them to a nice treat. I'd help but by the time I got there you would be done and and back home, and now I'm hungry for roast etc.
ReplyDeleteSorry you have to go out in this cold. Ice...yuk! Food sounds grand and makes me hungry now. I am so happy the Packers won ;-) Have a diamond day Beth!
ReplyDeleteTimes like that I bet you wish you had a garage! I used to keep my car outside and it could be a real trial when I needed to get around. I've been free of the football drama...mostly because I don't care for football at all...sacrilegious I know! Have a great day my friend!
ReplyDeleteI hate never having had a garage. Just for that reason and in the Spring, the sap and pollen, in the fall, the sap and leaves. :-(
ReplyDeleteJust sayin' hi Beth, nice to finally getting around to catch up, I'm glad you left the link for me 'cause I miss your blog. You're right about somedays bein' diamonds and some stones. I like the song on todays blog too I hope we have some - it's a rainy day here, very soggy! A mystery with the cooies - good theory though. I Tried to send you a Christmas/holiday greeting not sure had right address though. I'll try to add to the friend thing, is that possible though when I'm at WP? So much I'm still learning over there. Cheers to a good week double diamond days even<3
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the Packers mowing down the Steelers though I am thankful the Streelers mowed down the Jets who mowed down the Patriots. Now if it was only summer I could mow the lawn. There are two more snow storms headed our way this week. It was below 0 this morning. At least you don't have to shovel the cold.
ReplyDeleteFinally able to visit and catch up on what you have been doing..sounds like we all are going through the same harsh winter. I have to agree with Sis about the garage thing I surely will miss mine too! Take care and stay well!!
ReplyDeleteWell, I had to come by and say hello and wish you a beautiful week. Here's hoping that the weather takes a turn for the better. We have plenty of snow here too and ice... well, snow + ice + blowing winds = typical Canadian winter in southern Manitoba.
ReplyDeleteWhat address did you actually write on that parcel of cookies, because I know it wasn't mine!! I don't have them cookies. ::Seth pouting::
You had lost your special cookies why ring post office to find out what happents your priority mail?
ReplyDeleteIn here it normally quickly they will get back to you.
I thought about your garage that used to be in old your home...
Can't you moving out near by somewhere everything you would like have in the home?
This house took me nearly one years to find that what I wanted in mylife.
It is a very important to have without a little worry to live in our age...
you can make effort to Daimond life for left of yourlives:-)
Where have the cookies gone I hope they do arrive Beth. I posted my neice's parcel for her birthday, it still got there late after 1 st class post. Thats 6 days later!!Hugs Sheila
ReplyDeleteAmen! I hope GB mows down the Steelers too!

You're meal sounded lovely Beth Marie.
ReplyDeleteBeing so close to Pittsburgh, there are mostly Steeler and Pirate fans around here...and Mountaineers...one brother likes the Yankees - nobody could figure that out, had to be different, I guess...
ReplyDeleteGood that you have family close enough to visit...
listening to "Mockingbird Hill"...always liked that song...thank you for having it here...
