The roofs this year are absolutely miserable. Apparently everyone who has to shovel has the same problem.

I think this is going to be a bad year for snow. Apparently the big lake is really warm, and no ice. That means tons of snow. We had about 8" today...

As for the slip and fall. Nothing bruised but the ego. Heavy winter clothes saved the hide, but it still hurt!
After last year’s warm winter and summer, the Great Lakes are warmer than ever. In SE Michigan we get lake effect snow and we are about 200 miles from the lakes. Today the winds are out of the northeast and the thumb of MI is going to get 7 plus inches.

Take care with the roof clearing.
 
It is funny tho. After enough time together you can enjoy something silly like shoveling a roof together. Even trips to the grocery store and other things are the kind of things we like to do together. Why not enjoy the mundane things in life.

When you love each other just being there and working together can be the most romantic thing you do. I am happy for you both.
 
Good morning diner dwellers. More snow coming but most done by noon. The road crews are doing a good job.

Stay safe for those getting rain and flooding.
We are getting rain down here. I just read about a guy, riding his bike, getting killed by a distracted driver. Then there was the elderly lady, 83, that got killed by a woman backing up in a parking lot. Stay safe indeed!

The heartbreaking story around here was 2 children died of exposure after their mother’s car ran out of gas. She was homeless, asked for assistance 2 months ago and received no reply or help. And her family also did not help her. It took 2 children to die for the City and agency to revise their procedures. Really?

Glad it was nothing too serious.
 
Apparently the entomology has something about an old Finn word that sometimes gets translated to cock, was actually a word for purse. A more correct translation is something like a "fish container", or "purse of fish".

But I figured I'd leave that out as bait for your teenage sense of humor. As the say, hook, line, and sinker... 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣

Most Finnish fare is pretty bland. I don't recall this particular dish as being very spicy... LOL
I am guessing your of Finnish descent. I was watching the Finland/Sweden hockey game yesterday.

There should be at least a shelter. I do not understand.
 
Morning all. They decided to keep momma till Monday to finish her antibiotics, and my oldest was in town so I felt safe going back to work. When I checked in on her she had the whole tribe sitting by her side. Out just a couple of days and will be back home. She’s doing fine, just a lingering cough. Enjoy your Sunday. Isn’t today the 500?

Bring on the spring MZ…

So glad to hear that she’s doing better.

Safe travels to you.

Yes, today is the 500… well at least of the Daytona kind…

the REAL 500 is in May! (Love them ol open wheel roadsters and sprint cars!)

For our all-girl gang, the pink car is for you!
 
Sauce/gravy is assembled and perking along in the crockpot.


Breakfast with Doctor Tyler here in a bit.
Oooo, Crock-Pot meal. You have my gears turning now. I still need to meal plan for tonight. Stew, chili, BBQ, potato soup...I'll take a survey when they get up today.

UPDATE: Mild chili ladeled over rice or corn chips (Frito Pie) and tortillas.
