No snow - yet

19º F, Cloudy, N wind 16 mph, wind chill 5º F.
Good morning,
We are supposed to have 1-3" of lake effect snow today, but so far the lake effect is in the lake. Radar shows a band of snow off shore a couple of miles to the center of the lake, but none here. Just looks like it could start to snow any second though. The wind has really driven the cold into everything to the core. The woods do protect us some, but it still drives through. The past few nights have been close to single digits for lows, so the ice fishermen should be happier. They, along with the snowmobilers have had a rough winter so far.
Bible study was very quiet and thoughtful yesterday. Not too sure why, but everyone was in a very serious mood. We did have good discussion and rather deep too. Even the gal who normally brings very negative attitudes was in a more calm attitude and not really negative. I had given everyone an assignment over the week to put into their own words a Bible passage. When it came time to find out what everyone had written, Margriet covered up her workbook and hung her head, while Howard who was sitting next to her, looked very sheepish. Neither one had completed the assignment! Howard leaned over to see what Margriet had written (kind of looking to see what he should have done) only to see she also had a blank paper. He broke out in laughter! Of those who were there last week, the two of them were the only ones who didn’t have it completed. Of course it was a time for teasing, but Howard got the brunt of it.
One of the gals had a birthday yesterday, so Howard bought a frozen Bavarian Cream type cake for us to celebrate the occasion. The only problem was that he forgot to take it out of the freezer early enough. The cake part was thawed, but the filling was still frozen. Of course I had to tease him while he was trying to cut it. Frozen like a brick. It was kind of like eating a popsicle with a cake casing. Taste fairly good though. One of the other gals brought a cranberry bread too. THAT was excellent.
Margriet has finally gotten caught up with the expense ledger. Whew! She says. Now she is taking each receipt and entering it almost as soon as it comes in the door. My fingerprints are still warm on it! I got more medications for the next month and thought the price was creeping up again. As long as Margriet was entering the receipt, she looked it up - it hasn’t! I just thought it had. Happy to see that.
The printer for this machine has started to give more problems. For what ever reason, about every inch down the page, it will not print. So .... every page has several white lines across it about 1/8" wide. Guess it is now causing enough problems that it is time to get a new printer. Not looking forward to that. I have been searching the web for new ones. Not real pleased with what I am finding. Most that the stores have use multi-color ink tanks rather than separate for each color. Our present one has separate tanks, so I don’t have to throw b of the tanks away when they still have ink in them. The printers with separate tanks are not in the stores and/or rather expensive. Not too sure what I will do yet, but probably have to do something soon.
Margriet has started to take a new study group at church. It is for women, so when I took her there on Monday night, I got a lot of teasing about not being allowed there. Gee .... all I wanted to know was what time to pick her up again. The study is about "girly things" - - something about princesses or some such. Didn’t think I was a princess, so left and came back later to pick her up.
Time to get a-going.
In Christ My Saviour,
