“Everyone needs fudge, Hildy. It’s how God helps us cope.”
“Walking in a winter wonderland,” is my theme song for today. The snow started around seven. It must have been mixed with rain as it made a sound when it hit the windows. I went back to bed. When I woke up, the world was silent. It was snowing.
When I let Henry out, he didn’t make it beyond the back door. I didn’t know if it was the snow or if he just couldn’t wait. He did go out later and went down the stairs so the snow was not a factor. I guess I slept almost too long for Henry.
The snow is heavy, perfect for making snowballs and snowmen but not so good for sledding. If I were a kid again, I’d want to be outside playing in the snow.
TCM has brought back my Saturday Double Creature Feature and has even added a third creature. I watched The Time Tunnel first, and now I’m watching Forbidden Planet. One of favorites is next, Them! I love those giant ants. “Make me a sergeant in charge of the booze,” is a line I always remember.
I am not going out today. Nothing is urgent enough to get me to clear off the walk and the car so I can hit the road. I’m thinking of baking later this afternoon. I’m hankering for something chocolatey.
On Saturdays my sisters played in the backyard, my brother was with his friends or even sometimes with me roaming the town either on foot or on bicycles, but if a good movie was playing, we’d go to the matinee. I think my mother loved that we were out of the house for so long.
I have racked up a fair number of sloth days lately and am actually getting antsy. I need to find something to entice me to get busy. I guess chocolate will do, maybe even frosted brownies. My mother used to make chocolate brownies with chocolate frosting and chocolate jimmies (sprinkles for those of you outside of New England). I don’t think I can do any better!

Hi Kat,
Today is chilly with low clouds and some drizzle and mist. In other words dreary. Tomorrow morning an artic front is poised to lower the temperature below freezing with clearing skies.
I could go for chocolate in any form at any time.

Hi Bob,
The sun did stay out today, and any place which had been shoveled or plowed melted to the walk or pavement. We’ll do the melt, freeze, melt cycle tomorrow then we’re going to get rain rather than snow again.
I’m with you and chocolate!

I saw on Facebook that they had snow falling up on the mountain but we thankfully got rain and it continues to rain, something they didn’t mention on the weather forecast yesterday. It will get warm though so I’m not complaining 🙂
Saturdays were cinema days here and since we had two cinema’s in the neighborhood we didn’t have to go far. None of those places are still there, one is a record store (yes they actually still sell records but mostly cd’s) and the other one became a post office, one of the most cool looking post offices I’ve ever seen because they kept a lot of the decorations on the walls.
No cookie baking in my home when I grew up but plenty of older women in the neighborhood that loved to spoil us kids with their cookies 🙂
Have a great day!
Christer.

Christer,
I just got back from my friend’s house, and it is snowing. I expected it to be raining, but I guess it will come later. North of me will get up to nine inches, but not us!
My childhood theater is still there, but it is now a non profit theater which produces plays. I love going there even though it has changed somewhat. I laugh at all the people in the balcony as it wasn’t allowed when I was a kid.I see a play there every year at Christmas.
My mother made cookies so my sisters and I make cookies. I love homemade cookies.
Have a great day!
