Yesterday, was still bitter cold all day and it snowed all morning.   I took the van over to the Chrysler dealer to have my tires checked.   The low air pressure gauge came on AGAIN and I was concerned.  All the tires were a smidge down, but not bad.  They said it was probably the temperature changes.

Aside from that, I have been able to stay in my warm little old lady house.  This makes Nicky VERY happy.   When the temps are below 10Degrees, his little feet start to hurt.     This afternoon the temps started rising again.   It is in the mid 20s which is manageable.    Oh,   I have to tell you, Nicky actually did his business in the back yard yesterday.   He was desperate and did not want to go for a walk, so he gave in.

I went to mass this evening as there as a Three Kings Pot Luck after the Mass in the Church hall.    I was not planning on it actually but my friend, Mary Beth, from bible study said that I could sit with her and her husband, Dan, so I figured - good deal.   I baked a pineapple sheet cake with cream cheese frosting for my contribution.    The Three Kings were in attendance.  They were at mass too.   They gave candy to the children at the dinner.   It was fun.


Tomorrow I will be home all day.    I am going to make a batch of minestrone soup to freeze for when the kids come next weekend.    I am planning on pasties,  both meat and vegetarian, for our main meal.    Hope you are all tempted.     Wish Bobbie and Bill and Richard and Brenda and Bret and Janet could be here too.

The beginning of a year is certainly time consuming.

Today I attended the first Bible Study of the year.   Always good and I go to the morning mass before the study.

Then I went grocery shopping, got gas, picked up a supplement from Walgreens.   Home again, I paid a bunch of once a year bills and just updated all of that type of stuff.

Whew.

By Monday, I will be done with all of that and back to the "old dull routine" - not such a bad thing if you ask me.

It was cold today.   When I woke up it was in the low 20s.  Didn't seem to bother Nicky much but I don't like it.   For heaven's sake, I came to Oklahoma (for one reason ) to be warm.

The beginning of a new year does bring a lot of decisions to the front.   I hope to have all of them solved by the end of the week.

It is cold here in Oklahoma   Will be in the 20s tonight.  I am sure it is colder in Wisconsin, but 20 is still COLD.

Otherwise, a quiet day.

Another day at home.   I was very productive:)   I sorted all my bills from 2016 so that when I get statements from my banks, I am ready to do my taxes.

Dick would be so proud of me:)

A nice first day of the New Year.   I finished my President's Challenge for the Wichita Mountain Quilt Club show next month.

I just got home from dinner with Bart and Barb and Marlies.   An altogether pleasant evening.   We had ham, sweet potatoes, black eyed peas (for good fortune), cheesy potatoes and salad with cheesecake dessert.

I am pleasantly stuffed and ready to call it a day.

Life will slowly return to normal over the next two weeks.
