I miss my hubby...It stinks to be alone on Christmas Eve...On the other hand I have had a chance to rest up and decompress without having to "Be somewhere"... Thanks God, for the mini-vacation....

Hoping all your snow covered hennies recuperate without a hitch.....

Merry Christmas to all my Oke family...I love you guys!

Greybears we put that little house on 2 plastic sleds and drug it over there...I felt like a sled dog..."Mush! Mush!! But it got it done... Thanks for the idea!!

After that and shoveling snow off the back patio...If I ever was gonna keel over.... lol.....

Evening all and Merry Christmas Eve!
I've been Reading with great interest all the weather postings and goings on today. Wow you guys be careful out there! We have some strong winds and just started to get some sprinkles,but its still in the fiftys.(Dang)We aren't supposed to get cold till tomorrow nite and then not to bad.

Henny ,-3 ! girl you better stay in tonight and not do any coyote hunting. I can't imagine how your hubby endures it to do his job. God bless those guys,we give them a hard time when the power is out but don't stop to think what they are going thru. Keep the home fires burning for him!

Cammie sounds like you are getting your white Christmas,wish I was there to enjoy it with ya. I'm a snow person too!

City,Thank God you made it home safe,we was a worryin about ya!

Al I love the looks of that bread/pork loaf. Are you going to be a pal and give us the receipe for the bread?he!he! I think its so great you keep the traditions going. And your right its all worth it to be able to sit and listen to the oldtimers tell their stories.

Carla hope you can Gerald in where its warm and safe!lol Sounds like the kid in him wants to get out and play!

Q be safe going home tonight. Hopefully Sooner will make it in okay.

We are waiting on Mil and Sil to get herefrom Ok. Should be within the hour. I've been busy making 5 pies,cornbread for the dresssing, and cleaning the house for company.

NaNa don't let Bill do much tramping around outside,send the kids instead. Don't need any broken hips!

Keep those pics and weather up dates comming!

Our Christmas morning plans are still on. My kids look for any reason to get out and drive in this stuff. I was the same way until just a few years ago. Besides, the daughter and her family are leaving at about 8:00 tomorrow evening to drive to Phoenix for a baseball tournament on the 27th. I love this weather.

I've been trying to get everyone taken care of for the snow. I remember the forecast saying that the snow wouldn't stick because it was 73 degrees yesterday. I just took shelter to the one of our dogs and by the time I was walking back to the house my tracks were already gone in the snow. I felt like I was back in a sand storm. Definitely keep your head down or have goggles. The only outside animal on my place that looks to be doing okay is the Siberian Husky. I feel so sorry for the animals outside but I already have brought many of them in to the living room.

My mother's side of the family lives in Iowa. I saw they are supposed to get up to 24 inches of snow. I think they got 4 feet of snow in one storm after Thanksgiving. If our winter keeps going this way, she may have to use that second floor door that opens into nothing. (I've been told it is there in case there is too much snow in front of the two regular doors.)

Hmmm, I'm wondering out the persimmon discussion now...

I pick up my girls tomorrow from their father's. First on the list is making a snow woman! Of course, we might go ice skating again too. My blisters have just about healed up from last time.

Hey Q , that rabbit hunting sure sounds good. Do you use beagles? I believe that is my very favorite hunting,followed by squirrel. Can't do it around here. To many houses and if you can find woods or fields they are always off limits.I give up the turkey and ham tomorrow for some fried rabbit and gravy!lol

Buck I believe the kids have built in anti-freeze. It never seems to bother them like it does us. I used to love the cold but now my fingers get cold and I'm done for!
My pullet golden neckslayed their first eggs today!

Doodle I dont have any beagles usually hunt the brush piles etc. use take my .22 pistol and do some squirrel hunting while I am at it, love walking through the woods after a good snow very peaceful and relaxing...
