2026:FEBRUARY

 not a fan of "country" but heard the lyrics "drinking Jack all by myself" ( I never drank alone) reminded me of a local restaurant called Starbucks. before Starbucks the coffee cafe made the scene here. it was on rt 132 in Hyannis. The waiters and waitresses wore pajamas. It was a fun place. They were forced to rename to Star City Grill I think.

Jack Daniel's straight sure could warm you up!\

Feeling decadent by finishing this sorbet. Perfect day for it.



so finaly was able to take two bags of trash below. It was windier than I expected. But I made it. It was NOT easy.Using walker on icy snow ain't no  fun. Could not get to the barrels because of the snow. So I placed the bags front of F 150. trudged back inside. oh my arms.

 Finally was able mto place a food order andd my niece and her husband help haul it from the icy parking lot to my door. They offered to bring it in . I need to keep active and do what I can for myself so I did. took more than 10 trip  since there were 7 bags. but that's done and on to this-
Anyone else do this? Re-slice bagels thinly and freeze them? Love the bottom thin slice with crepe skin. I slice towards me to add adventure to the process.

Looks like someone has cleared off the Mustang! I cannot get to the office as that brown flagstone near a shed is solid ice. I sprinkled some clay cat litter on it so that maybe tomorrow I can sprinkle Icy Melt. Office front stoop is ice as well. Stay safe out there.

Finally was able to get outside! Sprinkled some Icy Melt on ice patches, grabbed my lottery and shot a few pix. Came inside and the apartment smelled pleasantly of baked goods and vanilla- nothing I did! Got on deck and my Ice Sculpture had blown dry! Have not been able to get out to it for over a week. Nice out there but I did not go far! deck first










walk to office

birds showed their attitudee about me not feeding them by shitting on the railing on the deck. Wind blew most of it away. But I still  cannot get to the feeder because of snow below.

Do you  do this? yellow sponges were extra wet this time. I always dry them out before storing


Food order showed up at 9:12 and it took me  until 10:12 to get it up here and wiped off ready to put away. That cold wind is something else. Saw the delivery person drive up in the health club parking lot- see a huge snow drift in the way all directions . Backed up and came in the correct way. yay he was able to walk the cleared path to the office door. I divided 7 bags into 14 smaller bags . I noticed on the Chocolate sunbutter lid the BIUB date was Feb 2026. groan. called the company and they are sending out something fresher LOL we will see. Then I called Shaw's and they refunded that charge. Told them I was getting a replacement but  would they please check dates more carefully. I know that is ridiculous to ask. It would take a shopper forever to fill an order. But hey when I shopped in person that was what I had to do. It always took me an hour to shop and check out . such is life.
