"BABY IT'S COLD OUTSIDE!!", et al

This is at NOON !!!!
Earlier it was 12 degrees with a wind chill of 2!!
⛇⛄
☃☃☃☃
We got about 1.5" of snow overnight...;)))
It has stayed on our lawns but the roadways
are clear--just wet...
soooo,
Tom and I thought we'd go to the supermarket
this morning to beat the rush--uh....
Nooooooooo...πŸ‘ΊπŸ‘ΉπŸ‘½
NOPE!!!

Not even any parking spaces--
did we see--
so we turned around and came home...
πŸ˜’πŸ˜–
I will go out E A R L Y just when
the store opens up tomorrow to
pick up the last minute items...

******************************
As a treat for our disappointing trip
I fried up big, rolled-up 
Flour Tortillas stuffed with
pickled red peppers, onions and
fried onions 
topped with
Mexican cheeses
 and sour cream
 for our brunch!!
Y-----UU----UUUUM!!
;)))))))))))))))))

I have been a cooking fool lately--
I also put together a beef stew for
our dinner tonight
in our Slow Cooker...
 *******************************
Taaa--Daaaa!!

We now have a schedule for 
Christmas family visits:
Candice & Co are coming
after 1 pm [When Cassidy
gets off work] on 
Christmas Eve;
and
Jeff & Co will come
the day AFTER Christmas
to open gifts...

And so...
.I will be cooking 
TWO TIMES
2x, twice
S I G H ...

Well, Christmas Day 
Tom is making his spaghetti for the two
of us, so I have a day off...

Don't get me wrong, I LπŸ’–VE
having them all here, but I do
get tired a lot more easily
these days in my 80's!!!!
SO......
This will be my mantra:
↧↧↧↧

I saw this on kathysquilts
and thought, YES,
this is the way to go...
