Won The Lottery??

Well, that's what I feel like.  I have FINALLY figured out how to update Blogger via Google's insistence that I make Google my default browser and set up a special security verification code.  Good grief!!  I spent hours on this last night and finally got it resolved this evening.  Now at least the working pages of my blog look somewhat normal again, although they have changed things around...anyone else going through this??  In frustration I looked at other blog websites but just did not like the format.  Blogger is so user friendly, or at least it used to be, that I did not want to change.  But gimme a break...what old person needs to do cross word puzzles to stimulate brain cells when they own a computer and lie awake at night trying to process their next strategic move to solve another glitch.   Where is Eliah when I need him???  :-)

Another try

I have read on the internet that Google has been messing around with Blogger.  I have initiated their new 2 step verification code and my blog still looks unrecognizable.   So here's another try.

Blog trouble

I'm trying another entry to see if it will post this time.

Fleeced

In January we visited my brother and his wife in Minnesota.  We slept in their wonderful king size guest bed and in the morning I said to Nancy that it had been a long time since I had slept in flannel sheets and that it was heaven!  She then told me they weren't flannel, but fleece!  It was so comfy that I have since purchased our own set from the Company Store.  It includes fleece pillow cases.  We still use our regular duvet comforters on top but having that bottom fleece sheet and pillow case is like sleeping on a cloud.  LOVE IT!

KAVIARRRRRR!!!!!!!!!

For months we have been waiting for IKEA to get their own brand of Kaviar after they discontinued the Kalles brand.  BJ was in the Seattle area this past week and stopped in and there it was!   Hooray!  The black fish tube is the cod roe and I actually like it better than the Kalles brand..I think it's a bit less strong in flavor.  BJ says that's because it doesn't taste smoked.  The other two tubes are a salmon and crab spread.  Both higher in fat than the cod roe.  So our frig is full again and we are both saying how we missed it.   So for all you afficianados of this stuff...go shopping.  It's less than $2.50 a tube.   Yum!

Still In Wool Socks

For days, almost weeks now, we have listened to the national weather reports about unseasonably warm weather around the country and then up in the NW corner of the map is us...the coldest place in the nation...not just cold but wet also.  As I write, it is snowing...now that's just cruel.   March 18.   We are supposed to have dinner guests up here on Thursday...I can only hope spring will have officially arrived before they do.  I'm going back now, to sit by the fire.
