A Pre-Game Cup

NINERS!


                                                


         Just in case there was any confusion! Gearing up for Sunday's Game! and my beloved "City by the Bay" (...no...not Oakland...) is looking pretty beastly right now!





The oldest now settled and with guitar in the Sunshine State...along with our daily updates...we NOW compare weather...lol...

Me:  Raining and Gray.

Him: Sunny and 84 degrees.

Me: Windy and 13 degrees.

Him: Still Sunny...but I think it will be 85 by this afternoon.

Me: Six degrees and it is SNOWING again...

Him: Damn it was cold this morning...67 degrees...but they are saying 85 by noon.

Me:  CLICK.
 

Great news as he has finally discovered SKYPE. The adult equivalent of discovering your feet when you are an infant. He and Brenden already goofing and giggling their way through an evening. Hoping the girls will get theirs set up soon!

Looking forward to Valentine's Day (and soon Grandparent's Day) with my Grands!

Great interview with Stephen King re: Dr. Sleep this week!

Can't wait for it to be released.

So here it is...almost Groundhog's Day...Superbowl Sunday right around the corner...and Mardi Gras quickly approaching...and more importantly 46 DAYS till SPRING!

Already getting the seed starters prepped for later in the month...a game plan mapped in the Gardening Journal...several seed/plant catalogs strewn about...and discussing Raised Beds and Container Gardens with Gail and "Idgy".
Doing the herb basket/some veggies/flowers and my roses this year. Expanding the Frog Spa as well as a Container Barrel Pond with Water Lilies! Tucking the Sunflower Seeds and Morning Glories in amidst the chocolate in Angie's Valentine's Box.
The FTD "grow-it-your-damn-self" bouquet!


This week's book: My Berlin Kitchen: A love story (with recipes) by Luisa Weiss.

A memoir written around the Art of German Cooking. A German-Julia Childs-Meets Nicholas Sparks- kind of read. Highly entertaining. Many Great German Recipes. If you love romance and cooking...this book is for you!




                             Settling in for a quiet winter evening of writing.
