Happy Monday Everyone! it's a crazy weather day here this morning. We have warmer temperatures above freezing so the icy stuff we got yesterday is melting.
That's the good news. But, since it's warmer we have dense fog which will switch over to gusting winds when the temperatures drop by afternoon.
Our trash pick-up was delayed due first to the Christmas holiday and then delayed again due to freezing icy conditions. So, it's supposed to be picked up today and I'm hoping they come early enough before the weather changes again.
I haven't been here for a few days and did have a wonderful Christmas and birthday. Having the family together is always fun and the only two missing were my oldest grandson and his wife. They weren't able to travel to join us and certainly were missed.
All the holiday hoopla left me exhausted but a good exhausted. My daughter went back to work this morning so we had from Christmas through the weekend to relax and just enjoy the quiet.
Now it's time for me to get back into my routine and get ready to ring in the New Year.
In case you didn't notice, I'm typing on my new laptop
No sticking keys
Hope your Monday is off to a good start and the weather isn't too bad where you are. If you have sunshine, please send me some!

@Marilynda1225 That sounds good. The laptop I bought back in July seems to have a weak battery. I may have to replace it at some point. Christmas was fine Thanks. My son was here. That is always a ++.

It's very cold and blustery here this morning. I'm sure you'll get your turn at the cold and strong winds tomorrow. It should end sometime this afternoon here. We have intermittent sunshine here but I can't spare any today. If we have extra tomorrow, I'll see about sending you some.
I'm glad everything went well for you. Pretty and I enjoyed the quiet and had chicken, bell peppers and shallots for Christmas dinner. (We had a lot left over so I put most of it in the freezer for later meals.)
Congrats on the new laptop.

Glad you and Pretty had a nice Christmas and those leftovers will certainly come in handy.
I sent most of our leftover home with my company but kept enough for us to enjoy at some point.
I'm already tired of winter and it's barely started. The ice is the worst. Please send that sun is you have extra. I've forgotten what a sunny day looks like

Mine started with one key here and there and then a whole bunch that kept sticking. I'm so happy with my new one. Hope you get to replace your keyboard.
Hope you had a nice Christmas Anna

Monday is one of the days I have for blogging so it takes up my afternoon and then before I know it it is dark outside and Monday is almost over,

My daughter surprised me with the new laptop. No sticking keys which certainly is a big thumbs up.

Glad you had a wonderful holiday. It's always nice to see them but nice when they go away too.
The cold winds started last night here




I might keep it all... You never know.
