Chilly, Chili, and Chillin'

Fifteen degrees outside, 58 degrees inside---love to sleep in a cool house. I sit before this blog in oversized flannel PJ bottoms, long sleeved shirt, flannel shirt, heavy socks and one of Pop's hats on my head as the house warms up. Can tell you it is not a real pretty picture. Can hear the crunching of ice under the tires as the cars go down our street and am glad to be inside.

Thinking of putting on a crock pot of chili this AM. Have fixed more soup this winter---record breaking. Terry sent me a soup recipe book, have tried many, and enjoyed all. Really fond of the bean/vegetable/lentil/rice soups.
Spencer and Buster now have the cleanest teeth and the best smelling breaths in town. They did well considering the start of yesterday. They were really low key yesterday evening. Rowdy was a bit traumatized by their absence but also recovered nicely --he got lots of "it's only me" attention yesterday.
Mass this AM, taking a friend to the Dr. for post op appt. in mid morning, back to rectory this PM to volunteer, then home to sweep out the fireplace, replace firewood, build a fire and chill this evening. Cannot tell you how much we have enjoyed being in front of the fireplace these chilly evenings.
Stay warm, healthy, safe, and keep in touch.
Love, Mom

I've experienced your morning blog look. I think it's cute!

Kat, the web cam Kurt set up during his last trip really works well. I don't think she suspects a thing.

The web cam is a great find. Am in the process of filming a reality show and will make sure all of your names will be in the credits. I will make you all real proud.
