Deep Freeze Time

Brrr, are we ever feeling the Arctic blast from the north. The furnace has run almost non-stop all day, and it is having trouble getting the temperature above 65. What does that tell you about a 90+ year-old house with plaster walls and scant insulation? I was stringing some lights near the fireplace and discovered a major cold spot between the fireplace and the outside wall.

We have continued to fine-tune the next three weeks to coordinate Christmas and leave-taking. We are going to spend Christmas Eve with Curt and Cinda and family in Bellevue and then come home to have Christmas morning here. Then we hope to be on the road by noon. Since I hope to be in Pacific Grove the morning of the 29th for a Kaffe Fasset Quilt presentation, we need to make tracks and getting an early start can't hurt. This plan gives Colleen both of her Christmas favorites; Christmas Eve dinner with fondue and Christmas morning gifts and breakfast.

We dutifully trekked out to the Madigan clinic today since this is the week for flu shots only to discover they have nothing to offer. What little regular flu vaccine they received is depleted and they don't expect to get any more. So we will just have to continue to be judicious about hand-washing, and hope we have a bit of leftover immunity from years past.

We are closing in on time for the evening news. Ciao

An Unreleased Lady GaGa Hit was Unwrapped this afternoon with no traces of where it came from.
Some say that it was discovered in GaGa's Record Label's headquarters.
