Stella's Place 
Good morning, everyone!
I do miss Lucille, as I anticipate her lovely offerings and her wizardry in finding photos in tune with the discussions.
Even Tex isn’t here with the coffee. (Sob.) Nor Wee with her wit and wisdom.
Kitchen/break room is lonely this morning, so I’ll shut off the light until everyone gets here.

Just what we ordered! And it’ll get five star reviews, I hope. Good morning Wee. I am presently trying to drink enough coffee to get the courage to open the weather app.
Last few days I’ve seen that we are getting more snow, oops, no snow, yep, more snow. I have no idea what is happening here next week except it’s going to be about 40 degrees colder than I want for my daily low. I seriously think we ought sto just throw books in the car and take Conner to Florida for classes.

Good mornin’, Menage! We’re bracing for this at el Gordito. Our weather people are warning us that it could be in the ‘teens. Sunday – Monday nights. That’s plenty for us. Nobody around here is built for that sort of nonsense. Coffee’s ready, ma’am.

We vary from dry to 3” maybe 6” snow and ice, maybe sleet, pretty sure really cold with very bad wind (is that a blizzard?)

In Florida, I believe 2 flakes is a snowstorm, three flakes is a blizzard.

Hiya, Wee and Menagerie,
I was in earlier and am glad to see others are now up and about.
If you are planning a trip, Menagerie, you might find enough from here to hire a bus!
Road trip. Can you imagine how much fun it would be with this group?

Good mornin’, and happy Friday! We are now under 100 hours until T-Time. Because we’re all busy and I’m lucky I’m up because I forgot to set my alarm, it’s combo time. An old favorite is back. Keep your head on a swivel and carpe’ your coffee. This is the last Friday dump ol’ Brain-Freeze gets. It could be a doozy.

Tex,
That’s because the ingestion of coffee is an essential part of the IT process.

Thanks T! Have a great day. Good morning!
These pictures always make me want one of these. But then I look closer and know I’d have to get my husband to make me one of those folding aluminum grease shields to surround the thing!

They are cute, and I actually considered one for a guest area.
The only problem with those units, and it happens with all-in-one products, is that when one part of the unit goes out, it affects the other components.
Can’t have the coffee maker going out.

Mornin’ All. I think we are still at around 30*. It was unbelievably foggy yesterday, but the fog was high an didn’t cause trouble driving except by a river.
Things were going really well yesterday until I caught my foot in the vacuum cord and fell on my right knee. It got worse and worse last night and I finally decided I might need to go to the ER. But, this morning I can’t find my 2025 insurance card. But, the knee seems a little better. I doubt it is broken since I can walk on it this morning a little bit. Can’t wait to be able to get all this put away and find things again.
Well, all of you try to stay warm and have a nice day.

So sorry you fell, Aus.
Take care. I know you want to finish, but sometimes slowing down a bit is safer, for anyone.
Glad the knee is better.

Thank you. Yes, I am anxious to get things put away. If I can just pass this inspection, then I can quit worrying about the other apartment. I am taking it easy today and putting my leg up and icing my knee.

Menagerie,
We can plan a road trip with all the sights, sounds and fun of the real thing.
We’ll just need a few basics to begin:
How many are going? From where do we start? Stella’s place? Where to do we want to go?
Here’s the planner.
