Strange Stuff Tuesday and Blogiversary

(above a self portrait)

realized last night that today
was my 2 year blogiversary.
And for some unknown reason
I really don't feel like celebrating.

But a big thank you
to all who have read this
and commented.


And for some of you...
this will seem wrong.
mulled beer
and interesting read
the history of
mulled beer.

please let me know if you
decide to try this one.
will be very interested in the
results.

And there I bid you
all good night.

And if the above isn't strange enough
tonight there was freezing rain and temps of 31 F.
Last week at this time it was -30 F.
Very extreme weather we are having.

Have started another set of swim lessons out at the pool. tomorrow there will be 4 sets for me to teach. And on Thursday 4 sets of lessons then water aerobics.

R is for......

R is for.... Regular temps.
R is for... Really COLD!

Our temperature at 12:30 Saturday night. It reads -15.
(Note- do not use flash when taking pix
through a window).

This was taken at 8:00 am -17 degrees.
(yes it is blurry- you try holding a flashlight, steadying the camera
and then pushing the button!)

And if you had trouble reading the thermometer:
this is what my car said at 9:00 am.
(My car thermometer is 3 degrees to warm).

The minus sign stands for NEGATIVE, as below 0 (zero)!

R is for... Really cute! Athena was being a pillow. Bumpkins does play the ukulele. I have a movie recording that I made of her- will post that later. (Our satellite upload speed doesn't do movies at all).


So today I have been blogging for one calendar year. I have learned so much! How to post links in the middle of the post, post pictures and use labels. And for the sidebars how to do buttons and links. There is still more for me to learn- like posting pictures w/text and having the things line up!


As for personal growth, this like a diary to chronicle the changes in our family, make notes of our favorite meals, accountability for when I buy material/yarn, Take notes on projects when started and finished.

Thank you all who take the time out of your day to read this. And we will see the changes that the New Year will bring.
