Better weather on the Mountain!

Well, it was cold this morning, but it turned into a pretty nice afternoon. The wind was chilly but otherwise it was sunny, and tomorrow is suppose to be nicer. We shall see!!
Looking forward to Spring coming maybe it will be a little early this year. Keeping my fingers crossed!
My daughter may be in soon for a visit, that will be nice. Am sure glad that she is getting out of the Army but I think that it is the wrong time. Oh, well that's her decision!
Will return soon to let you know about all the Valentine dinner's coming up in Febuary.
Have a Great Day!

Rainy day!!!

Today has been damp and chilly, a good day for sleeping in or laying on the couch. Trying to stay awake with coffee, warms the insides at least. Just thought that I would go on to say "HI!" and hope all is well in your world.
see ya, Karen

Polar Plunge

While today was the day of the Polar Plunge at Blowing Rock, there was about 50 folks who jumped. I seen some heading to the warm, dry of the rec center. As I told one guy my pa may have raised some stupid kids but not any fools!!! hahahaha!
Anyway it was really busy today at the restaurant, I had a good work out! We had soldiers and families in from Fort Jackson, SC. It was a bonding retreat for couples, and I think that everyone was having fun.
It warmed up enough to change the oil in the truck and get a little outdoor work done. Hope Spring is just around the corner, love to see the flowers bloom! That is when everything is new and fresh, maybe that is what we need.
Will close for now, have a great day, hope to hear or see you soon.

BURRRR!!!!!

It's colllllddddd!!!!!! Am not us'ta this weather!! Woke up this morning to 1/2 degree, now it's 20 and I can't feel a difference. In case you don't know I leave my kitchen go out the back door across a porch into my living room where the computer is and my feet get COLD. Fun how you take little pleasures for granted until you have to rough it again. Well one thing is for sure, it's not a camper. hahahaha.
Next week is Winter Fest in Blowing Rock, NC, hope I get to see the Polar Bear Plunge. Looks amusing and down right crazy!
Try to stay warm and I will add some more later.
Bye, Karen

I've been a little busy this week so this is the first time that I have gotten back to my blog! Tuesday was so beautiful that I walked down the hill with kittens in tow, to pick up the trash that blew in from last week. The thing about wind up here is it carries trash where you don't want it. I am trying a lot of new ideas to put in my blog, and trying to build some shelves over my computer for storage problems. It seems that a person can never have enough storage. I must be the best pack rat around, because I have so much STUFF. Another room for just STUFF would be nice!
Anyway, at the resort we are looking forward to Winter Fest 1-22-09 hope that I get to see the Polar Bear Plunge, crazy people!
Hope to get back soon to the blog! Have a great cold winter week coming up! KC

2009

Well it's the first day of 2009, and I sure hope that it is better then 2008. I reckon that a lot of people think that way. Well the good thing is this year at least I have a part time job, woo-hoo.
I am looking forward to spring and see all the plants start out new, but sigh, that's still 3 months away. We will probably get a lot of snow this winter and I can try out the ski's that I got this year, hope that I don't break a leg, hahahaha!!!! Besides I have also got 2 sled's to play with, might get pulled by the ATV with those. That sounds exciting!
Well, I just want to wish everyone a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!
