White world retruns
2/4/06 07:43:32 am.
23º F, Snowing, N wind 11 mph.
Good morning,
The snow is coming down outside and we have about an inch of fresh snow on the ground. The world looks bright again. The snow started yesterday west of here. We didn’t receive any until over night. The weatherman was rather surprised with a storm cropped up from the south end of lake Winnebago and seemed to follow the Fox River to Green Bay and north. Most of the snow fell in that area and some to the west. Because it was so warm, the flakes were huge and the snow pilled up in a hurry, snarling traffic all over the area. Looking at the traffic map, most of the roads in the state are less than ideal. The snow storm moved from south to north and this morning, the storm is traveling from north to south. Weird! Guess we are close to the center of the low producing the snow. Looks like a white day for most of the day today. Rather windy too.
Margriet has been working very hard on our expense ledger for the past couple of days. Every once in awhile I hear some strange mumbling and grumbling - then she has a cup of coffee. It is a tedious job and I am happy she "likes" to do it. I have a huge problem with the task. Takes me forever, in very short bursts of about 15 minutes at a time, with a lot of mistakes.
I have been threatening to clean out my brief case for some time now and it finally happened yesterday. Every Tuesday at Bible study, I say I am going to clean it out, but never do. Finally pulled out papers from several months ago that are no longer needed. The waste basket and the "one side usable" paper pile increased in contents. I also found some things I have been looking for too. Oh well, guess it has to happen once a year or so.
Three weeks ago I sent an email to the producer of one Bible study program I bought shortly after I got the first computer from Karl. It was made to work with operating systems pre-Windows XP, so there needed to be some adjustments to install it all on this machine. I didn’t know that, and could not figure out why I couldn’t open all of the files. I like the program very much and it seems to be the one I use most. It was cheap to buy, less than $10.00, but in order to use all of it, you had to but the "key" to open the rest of the program. I eventually did that and it allowed me to use a bunch of Bible commentaries and other references. So I am back in business again with it. I had not been able to open all of it since getting this machine.
1:01 pm.
23º F, Still cloudy, N wind 16 mph.
So we have had our bowl of bean soup and now ready for the rest of the day. Taking the soup from the pot is an interesting sight. We keep it on the porch to save room in the refrigerator, so it is right at the point of being almost frozen. When I take a scoopful out, it has the appearance and consistency of off colored, lumpy toothpaste. Once it is heated up, it is mighty fine!
Last night I decided to make some of the leftovers in the refrigerator for supper. The refrigerator was getting too full (terrible problem), so I made a hotdish. What I made too more room than the food I used in it. Oh well, so much for emptying the refrigerator. I think we need to eat leftovers for a couple of days before taking something more from the freezer.
As long as I now have a cleaned out briefcase, I took aim at the filing cabinet today. It too is getting too full. I am taking out all of the materials relating to my "shop" and house building out. I want to pick-up a small file box, and will put it out in the outhouse. At present everything is in a cardboard box, but that will not keep any mice or other critters out of it. The file box should. Or at least slow them down some. I don’t use the files much in here, so they might as well be out there.
The wind is really blowing today. Yesterday it seemed like we were living in a freezing sauna when outside. Today we get blown away. At least it is cool enough to make the countryside a little stiffer with freezing temperatures.
Time to get a-going.
In Christ My Saviour,
