~Cold out ~

BRRRRR... cold day. We didn't get what they said we would but we are under winter storm watch again for tonite.. says 4 to 6 inches.. I expected to get up this morning and see lotsa snow out there and theres just a light dusting.. not bad at all. Tomorrow morning may be different. :-( I hope its not too bad as I am hoping to have company Sunday. And if the weather is bad well I don't want anyone on the road driving to come here just to spend a few hours with me and I worry the whole time about the roads. So hopefully the worst will be north or south.. east or where ever, or even next week.. I am looking forward to seeing my company its been awhile... Penny came today and I told her how good her egg salad was- that I ate every bit of it.. So today she made some tuna salad... I havent had that in ages either. Well COA sends it sometimes but they put celery in it and ICK ! I don't like celery, any more than I do carrots.. :-) ICK... Carrots are very good for you.. Its proven the carotene is a cancer preventer and will help cure it as well... I heard on TV on a food show of course, which is what I mainly watch.. and mangoes have carotene in them too,, I didn't know that.. Good to know..Ive never had them but I think they are something like peaches. and I LOVE peaches... When I lived in Elkhart, I canned food every summer. One of the best, tastiest things I made were canned peaches.. Willie and I would drive up here to Michigan to one of the many peach farms and buy a couple bushels of them, just freshly picked from the trees. I made fruit cocktail as well.. My canned peaches I want you to know were better than Del Monte .. :-) At suppertime, when Donnie and Kimmie lived with us, I would put 3 bowls.. one for them and Willie, and put a pint jar of my peaches on the table for them and the count would begin... Kimmie and Donnie would get a fork and put one slice of the peaches in each bowl.. so they all had the same number of slices.. If there was one slice left, they would divide it! And if one of them cheated.. Donnie would get all upset and Kimmie? she would jump straight up in the air, and yell.. "NOT FAIR".. and grab a slice out of Donnies bowl as usually he was the one with more slices than anyone else.. Willie didn't care he knew if he wanted more he'd just go get another jar.. The kids knew they better not.. at least not with out telling Willie first.. But those peaches were good.. When Kelli came along and the jars had to then be divided between 4 of them.. well I had to make quart jars then :-) Nothing like fresh canned food.. or homemade jam.. which I did that too.. strawberry and raspberry, which is my favorite. Speaking of food, I'm hungry and its time to post this, and get some more done today, so that means time for my GORGEOUS WEEBLE "g'day, g'day". Y'all have a good one now, Y'hear? luv ya and thanks~ Always, Lois**** "God Bless you", is my prayer today, I'm honored to call you "friend". I pray the Lord will keep you safe, Until I write again...
