I don't keep the furnace turned up to 77 all the time - just if I feel chilled, but I always turn it back to 75 when I go to bed.. Hey, that's a 2-point drop.. lol.. Sometimes I just feel more cold than other times.. Usually women tend to feel colder than men do.. I think it must have something to do with body temperature.. Sometimes I'll ask my husband if he's cold and he'll say no, but I'm sitting there feeling chilly.. Sometimes, but not always..

Hello,Rick,  good morning, may your

 Thursday be perfect, filled with

 happiness. If I couldn't share this

journey by your side, it wouldn't be

 the same. Things stop being scary

 when you have a best friend. You

 are my safe haven in this chaotic

 world. I send you warm hugs and

 kisses. Take care, Maria.

Here's our latest forecast..doesn't sound good at all for this weekend.

  Hey Rick - Yeah, I do remember you telling me that you keep your furnace turned down low, but I forgot how low.. I thought you kept it about 65 all winter.. The last two days when we had freezer temps, I turned the furnace up to 77 for awhile.. It's not as bad today (not near as cold as it was).. We got 2 inches of new snow today.. The snow we had looked dirty, so the new stuff looks fresh.. What's going on in your area?

Have nice afternoon friend :)

Have nice afternoon friend :)

Sunny and cold today, but we will warm to the mid 50's today. Still expecting a crazy weather system this weekend..snow/ice. Much of next week will remain in the 30's. The bird seed delivered yesterday so I'll be filling up the feeders this afternoon. Hope you're having a good week.

Hello, Rick, good morning, have a Wednesday

 full of smiles. Start your day with a

 delicious coffee, with something sweet,

 like your friendship. Live life your way, and

 never lose your smile. Have a great, fun

 day. I'm sending you big, warm hugs and

 a thousand kisses. Blessings, 

Maria, take care.

I tell you i have a car but so cold for me I just do not want to go out at all in this cold weather.

Yes its been very cold here in Ohio.

Hello,Rick, until tomorrow. May your 

dreams be as beautiful as your smile.

If living is good, dreaming is even better.

And the best thing of all is waking up.

Sleep well, warm hugs and kisses,

Maria

  Hey Rick - Have you frozen out there yet.. I know Chicago is known for cold weather in the winter.. But then in the summer your temps are usually hotter than here.. I know you don't turn your furnace up too much that's why I was wondering if you froze yet.. It's 1 degree here.. It's so darn cold, it hurts.. I don't think people in the south have a clue just how cold that is.. You got to experience it to know.. That's colder than a home freezer..

They are saying its going to be so cold tomorrow the Schools are closing. Boy we are cold here in Ohio.

We're expecting ice/snow next weekend..this system seems to be making itself known early for the weather peeps. Looks like 40's all week. I'll get groceries tomorrow, as I never got there last week Last time I was in this store, they were still under remodeling and it was a mess. I normally go on Tuesdays anyway to check their sale on meats. Oir freezer is almost bare. I got the stove cleaned this afternoon. It looks brand new again. Ts 30 years old, so we hope it continues to keep going. There are a few rust spots, so I am going to use some appliance touch up paint for that. Ordered online today, so it should arrive tomorrow. Also ordered a 15 pound bag of the good bird seed. Our feeders are empty again. Found it at a great price today online /Walmart. Hope your week goes well.
