Good morning ~ I cannot believe it - we stole the show! bigkat, I agree with Kathy, your light show was outstanding! I have never ridden on a float although in HS I glued every year. One year we did See's candy - oh yum! They provided candy non stop. It was so cold that the hot water felt freezing! Oh memories..... Kathy, your drinks kept us going for sure! I do believe the Rose queen was a little jealous of "our" Queen. Another cold day here.

B = Browned butter bars

Hi! Good afternoon. We were a -17 this morning at 9:00 a.m., now it says 20. However, the sun is out and we have a blue sky outside.

The AdAMan Club made it to the top of Pike's Peak this year and the skies were clear for the fireworks display on New Year's Eve. DH and I were....sound asleep! There is a picture in the front of our paper today. It is beautiful.

All of the inside decorations are down and now for the one's that are outside. Maybe tomorrow, before our next storm on Sunday. Hope everyone is staying warm. Kathy

Hi everyone - Happy New Year!

It's an icky, rainy day out; I'm spending my time today playing with my "Christmas toys" and reading my cozy mysteries...maybe playing some games on my Kindle. It's a weird day, isn't it? Seems more like a Sunday than a Friday - and wasn't it Friday just the other day?

G = Good luck keeping your New Year's resolutions!

Good morning ~ Great breakfast, Tootie! Wow, get out your shorts!!! We are that right now and hopefully will get a high of 60. I cannot believe the cold weather all over. I saw a bit of the Polar Plunge - people are crazy - certified crazy! Way too cold. Has anyone else gotten the days mixed up? I kept thinking yesterday was Monday. (Old age?) Very long weekend holiday I guess. The excitement of our Queen besting the Rose Queen!!! We had some gorgeous thunder and lightning last night. Enjoy the day.

J = juice @ Tootie's breakfast bar of course!
