Good morning, hutch mates! I will not say anything about the weather. I will not say anything about the weather, I have to repeat that to remind myself not to say anything about the weather!! 
Dave - Bert & I said the same thing about being able to build a new house for that kind of money. That's about what M&J's new house cost. I personally have not liked the whole deal, but it's not for me to say. The one who makes out like a bandit is Elaine's father. He gets a pile of money and then gets to continue to live in the house, get his meals, etc. without spending a dime. Wish I could find a deal like that!! Have fun grocery shopping this morning. I hope you find everything you were looking for.
Lee - Remind me next time we see you that I owe you a glass of Crazy Good. I'm sure I'll forget. Sounds like a rough night with ice balls hitting the windows. Did wake the dogs up or only the humans?
Karen - So how goes the quest to find a contractor? Did that DIY guy get in touch to set up a time and day?
Kathie - So where were you yesterday? Baking more cookies or picketing outside the priest's house for him to be more humble? Either would have been a good excuse.
So now, what's on tap for my day, you may ask. I have Home Health coming at 11. They I have nothing to do until it's time to get dinner started. Everyone wanted steak tonight, so Bert, our grill master will do his thing on some filet mignons while I get the potatoes in the oven to bake and then fry up some peppers, onions and mushrooms. Elaine's job is to make the salad. Gary & the boys get to clean up afterwards.
And that, boys and girls, is all I have for this morning. Have a wonderful hump day!
Kathie -
