Good AFTERNOON Wrabbit!
Well, we're plunging real fast into single digit temps here in PURE "F'ing" Michigan! Ha Ha. How quickly I change my love for my STATE when it gets cold outside! The GAS COMPANY is going to love the fact that I've jacked up the heat today here inside our house.
Might have to just move into the HUTCH and stay in my nice warm Cubbie if things keep getting colder and colder this weekend. 

PAT: If your ears are ringing today it's only because I've thought of you a few times while making a HUGE POT of "Meat SAUCE". I'll be making us a small Lasagna for our dinner tonight. Then I'll get ready to vacuum seal the rest after it freezes in the Food Save Bags. Gotta love that machine. Hope you have tried yours on something like meat. Sauces require a PRE-FREEZE and then you can vacuum the air out.
Lee: Hope today's travels have been easy on you, Lu-Ann and the pups! Hope the roads are still dry. You're getting closer and closer. Take care. And make sure to DO THE DRILL at those rest stops!
Nancy: I'll be real interested in knowing if you actually get a REFUND for your cruise. Our poor Dave and Kathi have had to re-schedule their cruise a few times and RCCL just wouldn't BUDGE about giving them a refund for their REALLY EXPESIVE cruise. Keep us up to date.
NEGC: So do you think you'll be going on that 50th Anniv fishing trip. Is Kevin going to be going? You and Rita are lucky to missing out on this week ends UGLY WEATHER forecasts for the East coast. Even if it's chilly in Florida it beats snow, ice and single digit temps back at home. Take care.
DAVE: Art said he is feeling so much better in his RIB area. Now if we could only figure out how to WIRE his BRAIN to stay away from frozen ice covered POT HOLES he might be okay.
I'm off to buy some Ricotta cheese at the Italian Market 1 mile from our house off the same road we are on. Love that it's so convenient.
YOU ALL STAY WARM and SAFE.
We had another church member pass yesterday. She passed from natural causes ... OLD AGE.
She was a long time church member and always had a smile on her face and was a hard worker for the church. May she RIP. The new priest from Tenn said that he has served at MORE FUNERAL since his short time here at our church than all the time he was at his Tenn church. Ha Ha.... get use to it buddy. This isn't going to be a piece of cake job. You'll be working your tail off with hospital visits, home visits, funerals, weddings, baptisms and a dozen other kind of services.
Later gang!
