    We are supposed to get snow and cold temps tomorrow but I have surgery in the AM so..... I am getting a new port, my first one was removed 2 yrs ago due to infection, which I hear is rare.

    Coonie, I don't live in the Ozarks but I live close enough to enjoy them for photo trips, usually a days outing.  They are beautiful for sure.  The stew was good.  I wish I could share it with you.  I don't cook alot but I love my slow cooker.  Its hard to mess up with a crockpot.

    Spar, time to come out and play.  If you read to much in one day, your eyes will cross and get stuck that way.  Not really but it sounded skeery, didn't it?  LOL!

    Your nuts Jaz, maybe thats why I love you so much. Since I couldn't reach your stew I had campbells chicken noodle soup.  Not even a close 2nd.  It is so cold here.  Pure white ice. OKC had over 400 wrecks the past couple of days.  On the news cars were just sliding where ever they wanted to go, it was scary to watch.  I may try to take some pictures tomorrow.

    This is lake michigan, we went there traveling to niagra falls once and it is so huge it looks like an ocean.  I wonder if it has ocean critters in it like shark or jelly fish?  Does anyone know.

    All that reading has made my eyes tired, think I will get ready for bed.  Hope you guys have a good night.  See ya tomorrow.

    Hope all you ladies have a wonderful day!

    You got it Mary-Lou today is the day to do that.  My DH doesn't think so though, he has been bringing me boxes of stuff out of storage to go through when I just want to play on the computer or read my book.  I did go through and wash a lot of dishes and pans today and he is hanging pictures so it has been a productive day.  Hugs all around.  Have a good evening.

    Spar, love the house!!!!  I love the natural look and the way it blends into the environment.  Coonie, congrats on your last herceptin treatment.  Now go out and start the rest of your life.  Sharon, you should go on youtube and find a video for that song.  An old Beatles song for sure.

    Coonie - thank you for your thoughts - port is in.  They put me out... but I woke up twice (and jerked).  They didnt like the jerking.  I was glad when it was over.  Tomorrow I can take a shower so do not sit downwind of me.

    Good morning moutain ladies!  The view from the top is gorgeous.  We finally have a day of sun and warmth.  Well, its warm compared to last week in anartica.  I just can't even begin to imagine being further north and having to deal with this bone chilling cold, ice and snow for months on end.

    Spar, come out of that igloo and let's start that morning mountain hike.
