Good morning mid-week
Total weather craziness haha. We have had bitter cold temps for several days that started out with very very strong winds. Today we are jumping up to low '70's F but Friday 90 F? Well this is Missouri Ozarks but this is pretty crazy for sure. I will need to unbox my new lawn mower, our one neighbor that doesn''t live here full time came in last night-so will ask him to help me unbox it and set it up for me..
Don't remember if I shared this but when I visited our new family doctor to set up being his patient, I mentioned about my husband and he said I do house calls. Wow game changer for us. Larry's health is failing more this past month. The new doctor came yesterday early afternoon-so I spent a day doing a total cleaning in the house-it needed to be done again before spring but now I just have one more area to do and defrost the old chest freezer soon-been putting that off.
All of the appliances are old here-so I will need to upgrade most everything soon. Not looking forward to figuring all that out at the moment. I soooo want a gas stove too-so will need to figure out how to change the electric there over to gas.
That's about it for here just wanted to pop in for a post to share.
How is your weather?
The eastern side of the state has the same weather as yours; it just gets to us a day later!
ReplyDeleteawesome-I am not ready for 90's yet though
DeleteOh So GOOD about the doctor for Larry... I'm so sorry he's been declining Kathy... my heart goes out to you.. The weather has been a string of cool days and cold nights with each day being a little warmer... and by Friday we will be close to 100 so not ready for that... the saving grace is it would be 100 until around 3-4pm instead of like in the Summer where it could be 100 at 10 am... right now i have the heat on... crazy...
ReplyDeleteI finished the SkateBoard! So nice to finish a project AND like 2 weeks to spare...lol so unlike me! Now i'm putting a couple layers of Satin clear coat on it.. Hubby would like it Glossy but i never liked glossy on most things.. too much glare... I like how it turned out so much i almost hate to give it away...lol Except the fact its on a SkateBoard .. no desire to hang that on a wall...lol Take care! Hugs! deb
Thank you Deb-be sure to show us your finish on the skateboard-looked amazing last time you posted. I guess a lot of states are getting this crazy weather-hugs back
DeleteFreezing in Toronto. I heard gas stoves aren't healthy recently. Something about the gas fumes.
ReplyDeletei will check that out-they are usually safe here in the states-and this house at the lake has natural gas unlike the propane we had at the woods house
DeleteIn the Arkansas house we spent $5000... can't imagine what it would be now.. to hook up our propane tank to the house... We ran lines to put in a gas stove in the kitchen and a line to run our gas grill on the deck and lines to run our fireplaces upstairs and down.. Cooked nice... kept us warm but boy the fumes would get to me sometimes and i 'd rather be cold than run the fireplace.. Sometimes we left a window open a little... Never seemed to bother hubby much but it did me.. Hubby couldn't handle burning wood because of his asthma... :) Hugs! deb
DeleteI had a commercial wolf 10 burner stove with two ovens on propane gas at the woods house and never an issue at all-after Larry couldn't cut and split wood for us we hooked up the gas furnace-never had a problem with fumes. I do really miss not being able to burn wood in a woodstove especially during an extremely cold winter like we just had--I may see if we can repair the chimney here at the lake house so I can burn wood again-saves on the gas bill too I have pretty bad asthma and never bothered me-but nope being around cigarette smoke-I don't allow any smoking in the house
Deletewow that sounds like a lot of money to hook up probably all the pipes etc
DeleteThat is fabulous about the doctor making house calls. I'm very sorry about Larry's health. I personally love using propane. I would definitely change over if I owned this house. The electric here is very expensive. Glad you have someone to help you with the new mower. Stay warm over there.
ReplyDeleteThank you The propane for the woods house-haven't been able to sell it yet-was extremely expensive this year highest it has ever been since we bought it 1999 I never had an issue with it when we lived there-but we mostly cut wood for the two woodstoves-loved that
