Christmas Eve 2005

"Merry Christmas"

from: Les and Mary Barker & Santa

The night before the night before Christmas

Yep, it is what I said up there. Heh, Heh

Our temperature today hit 60ºF (15.5º C) a very nice day.  It is only going down to 46ºF tonight, but it is supposed to rain tomorrow and the high for Christmas day is only to be 50ºF.  The good part is no freezing temps at least for the next few days.

"MERRY CHRISTMAS"

From your Kuzns way down south in dixie.

 

 

Turned out to be a pretty nice day

 

Yep, it turned out to be a pretty nice day.  Temperature was close to 50ºF.  I went out and cut about half a cord of wood but I just left it on the trailor as I don't have anymore room in the wood shed.  I will probably dump it by a tree so I can use the trailor to get a couple more loads.

cool and cloudy today ----

 

Well, it is getting warmer.  44ºF today and going up to 54ºF tomorrow.  It was very cloudy today and that kept the temperature down, tomorrow it is supposed to be clear so the sun will warm us up just fine.

 

Well, here it is Tuesday night already --

 

 

Kountry Kuzn

Yep, here it is Tuesday evening already, Mary and I were out most of the day today delivering food baskets for my Masonic lodge, now that that is done I reckon it is time to get serious about our Christmas dinner preparations.

Mary made cookies and candy on Monday, and on Friday we will be making pies, (she lets me help) so I guess we are pretty well prepared for the big day.

This is what Mary really looks forward to, she loves it when all the family comes for Christmas dinner.  We should have about 30 people here for dinner.  Children, Grandchildren and Great Grand children.

Then the others will be popping in and out all day too. The weather here is a little better tonight, 31ºF (-1ºC) Tomorrow it will be back to the 50's and no freezing weather predicted at least not till after Christmas.

Anyway, I'll keep saying it    "Merry Christmas"

Here is a picture from cousin Debbie over in Barrie, Ont. They got a lot of snow last night and today. Her son Jake is on one snow pile and his friend on the other.

It is right cold down here tonight, going down to 25ºF (-4ºC). It is supposed to start warming up tomorrow and they are predicting 60ºF (16ºC) for Christmas day.

I reckon I don't need to start making a sleigh.

It's turning colder ---

Yep, first I want to say "Happy Birthday " to Bethany Faber.  Her birthday was Friday but being a senior, I forgot to remember it. (Whew, that was a mouthful)  "Happy Birthday Bethany".

 

Well it is going to be real cold down here tonight and tomorrow night and it will only be in the low fortys tomorrow all day.  It is going down to 30ºF tonight and down to 25ºF tomorrow night.  But they are predicting  a temperature close to 60ºF for Christmas day.

 

 

Pretty dull day today ---

Yep, today was pretty dull, cloudy most all day, temperature around 50ºF.  Hope tomorrow is a little warmer.

 

It was a little cooler here today,

 

It was only about 51ºF here today with a westerly breeze, a nice day to work outside.  I went for a walk in the woods and did several other outdoor chores.  Drained the gas out of the lawnmowers and other machines that we won't be using for a couple of months.

Here is a picture of cousin Fred Faber with jolly old Santa.

Temps were mild

The temperature today was in the 50's, but it was a kinda soggy day.  It rained this morning then quit around 9 AM, and started raining again tonight .  All in all, I reckon it was a pretty good day.

 

 

Nice today too.

 

Yep, it was nice again today, I was able to get out another cord and a half of wood cut, split, hauled to the house  and into the wood shed.  We sure do love having a fire in the fireplace when it is cold outside.  Don't get me wrong, we have central heat and air, but we burn firewood about every day when it is cold outside.

 

Another great day.

 

Another great day today, 58ºF with a bright sun, so I went out and cut a load of firewood.  Not much going on, just getting for Christmas.

 

Today was real nice

 

Every day the good Lord gives me is good, but today was very nice.  The temperature today was 56ºF (13ºC) and tonight it will be 44ºF (7ºC).  It was a beautiful sunny day.   Here is a very nice e-card,  http://www.jacquielawson.com/viewcard.asp?code=2700206623 Check it out.

 

Much better today. -----

 

Yep, the weather was much nicer today.  The temperature was back up to 54ºF (12ºC) and tonight it is 36ºF (2ºC).  It was a nice sunshiny day to, not like yesterday when it was cloudy all day.  We just got home and it is late so I am headed for the bed.  Don't forget Church tomorrow.

 

Well, it has got colder than all get out down here

 

 

 

Yep, the Temperature today was only in the 40's and tonight it is down to 24ºF

    That is colder than I like it by about 50 degrees.   It doesn't get cold like this until January normaly.  Winter down here usually starts in early January and ends about the middle of February, I don't know what happened this year.  I guess I will have to hope for a warm January or early spring.

Mary and I wish you all a

"Merry Christmas"

and I just found out that today is Fred Faber's Birthday and he is over 21,

Happy Birthday Fred

 

A cold, wet, dreary day

Yep, today is a cold, wet, dreary day down here.  The high for today is only 49ºF ( 9º C )  It is one of those days where you wish you could just stay in bed.  It is supposed to be nicer by the weekemd though.

 

 

Another nice day, but not as warm.

Yep, we had another nice day today but not as warm as I like it.  It is supposed to rain tomorrow though.  Have a good day everyone.

 

 

nice day but cool

 

We had a nice day

Yep, it was cool today with a north wind that would cut right through your clothes. It is going to freeze tonight, going down to 29ºF.

Yep, it is cooler today

 

Yep, it is cooler today, the temperature today only got to about 56ºF.  Tonight the temperature is down to 59ºF.  I reckon winter is closing in on us.

Date night and a nice day.

 

Nice day here today, I don't know how hi the temperature got, it was 66ºF at one point this afternoon, and right now it is 59ºF.  It has been sprinkling on and off all day though.  Tomorrow and next week it is supposed to be colder.

 

Wedding of Denise and Steve Downing

Cousin Marion Morris just sent me this picture of her Grandaughters (Denise Malyk) wedding to Steve Downing on August 23, 2003. The couple has been out of the country teaching English in Taipei, Taiwan and are returning for a family visit today. Marion said she would send me more pictures later.

and another nice day ------ Hi all

 

 Another nice day today, pretty cool, only about 60ºF and we will have a frost tonight, it is going down to 30ºF.  I is to be a little warmer for the rest of the week though.  If you have any news, family or otherwise, send it along and I will put it on the blog.
