Good morning! It is a chilly 36 degrees here this morning and it is not expected to get much warmer today. The rain seems to have finally stopped. It had a little snow mixed in toward morning, but there was no accumulation here although some areas nearby are reported to have gotten up to 4 inches last night. Hope you all have a great day!

I did my grocery shopping at Walmart this morning. The shelves were pretty well stocked compared to the last few times I was there, but they didn't have any cans of kippered herring. They also had surprisingly little in the way of Christmas candy, cookies, and such. None of the local grocery stores seem to be doing much for Christmas this year.

Good morning! Happy to hear the rain has stopped, Mel. It's cold here this morning, but dry & sunny. It was 25 at 8 a.m. but it's up in the 40s now. We may reach 60 this afternoon. These dogs have been playing like crazy. Nikki ran in here awhile ago with a rock in her mouth. She nearly chewed off my pointer finger as I was trying to fish it out before she swallowed it! She scares me when she plays with rocks! That's the 2nd time I've swept one out of her mouth in a week. She ran in here a few minutes ago waving Milo's collar in her mouth. She was re-ally proud she'd pulled that off of him. She pranced around the living room to show Edward and then she traded it to him for a bit of toast. And she just now ran in here to stand up on my knee and give me a couple of puppy smooches. I love this pup to pieces! The phones have rung off the hook since about 8 a.m. - mine & the ofc phone that I carry, plus Nita's. We've been texting like crazy, comparing notes & getting contractors lined out. We're laughing but we can't hardly believe it. I have to take a break from working so I can get ready to go to work. Some days are like that, but I wasn't expecting today to be like that. You've got me wanting some kippered herring snacks now, Mel. I have a tin of mackeral; if I weren't running out of time, I'd whip it up with some mayonnaise & make a sandwich to take for lunch. I luv, luv, luv mackeral. Hope you each and all have a great Monday!

It's been a long day. I was looking through some old coins this evening & discovered I have a 1940 Jefferson nickel and it's in pretty good condition. That was a pleasant surprise. Hope y'all get a good night's sleep!

Good morning! It is 27 degrees here this morning with a wind chill of 20. I didn't sleep very well last night. Lots of really odd dreams. I'm still chuckling over Nikki stealing Milo's collar.

Good morning! It's a sunny, pleasant 38 degrees at 8:50 a.m.
I'm at court & there's apparently only 1 judge hearing cases this morning so this courtroom is filling up.

Christmas display in my office: The office was much quieter today than yesterday. Really peaceful. I'm hoping it will be like this tomorrow too. I've got to get some leases done. I learned how to send prospective tenant applications to the 3rd party vendor today. The gal whose info I was running looks pretty solid so I was authorized to approve her. She's coming in tomorrow afternoon to sign her lease. We have rain in the forecast - off & on - for tonight & tomorrow. Thursday & Friday it may just rain all day. We'll have to wait & see. See y'all tomorrow!

Good morning! It's a rainy 49 degrees at present with a windchill of 42. Brrr. Nikki ran in here a few minutes ago, shaking off cold rain drops and wanting to climb on me for smooches. I told her she needs a nap to get warm & dry! The tenants I took to court yesterday didn't show up & the Sheriff's Office scheduled the lockout for tomorrow morning at 10 a.m. The deputy said he knocked & knocked and no one answered. I've been suspecting they'd already moved out, but Nita & our process server both thought they were still there. I finally got the gal on the phone this morning and she said yes, they're out of the house & took everything they wanted with them. Nita's expecting they left us a mess to clean up. I'll take pictures when I get into it tomorrow. Today, I hope to stay inside for about 4 hours and do paperwork. Paperwork is a good thing! Hope y'all have a great day! Stay warm & dray.
