(Stopping in for a cookie and a cuppa coffee)

Hiya Tom.!
23 F here with light snow.

Oh...now...you have gone and made me HUNGRY!!!.... I think that sweet potatoes with marshmellows should also be available...as well as a sliced Ham, covered in pineapple and brown sugar, and marachino cherries....possibly have a fruit salad of apples, mandarin oranges, coconut, pineapple tidbits, sour cream and coolwhip...all mixed together and chilled ...and a big bowl of banana pudding, and sliced strawberries, topped with whipped eggwhites..and sprinkled with toasted coconut ...and... maybe some champagne mimosas.... That would be a wonderful holiday meal...LOL.. Merry Christmas!!!... Appyspotz...

Sunday 1.55pm.
Overcast 52°f
A bit chilly, but it looks is if there will be no need for an Ark now.

Good morning Tom, the menu sounds delicious!! You're really making me hungry... Its cold here, 18 but the sun is trying to shine.. snow here later in the week...

Afternoon Mssilver. It's just gone 7.30pm here now and it looks as if there may still be a need for an ark afterall.

Monday. 12.35pm.
A sunny, But cold day. 50°f
Got the heating on in the cave!

Good Morning Tom..28 degrees here with 7 to 9 inches of snow coming..I'd hide your food.I maybe snowed in...hmm i'll have to catch a fast flight...oh wait my broom is at repair shop again...damn.

The parking lot here has very little room for brooms, although Ferraris and the like are also at a premium.

Friday Dec 12.

Snowing outside the cave today, and 22°f.
Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Good Afternoon.
After it snowing outside the cave all weekend, today is a reasonably sunny day. 24°f and still a bit nippy outside.
Roll on summer.

Happy Yule!

Thanks Ruth. And may all your presents be good ones.
