Good Thursday morning. It's another cold (about 34*), foggy morning here in western Washington. They say we're supposed to get some rain, so I hope it warms up or else it won't be rain.
I've had some emails & a couple of comments saying "what is Bunko?" Now I don't play the game so I'm just going to give you the link to Wikipedia's explanation of Bunko. From what I've been told, it's pretty right on. Apparently it can be spelled a couple of different ways.

Have a good Thursday and remember tomorrow is Food Friday so how about digging out a recipe and posting it for the rest of us......
Until next time...Linda

It's Wednesday
Well it's the middle of another week. And we are now into February~my the time just flies by when you're having a good time.
Barbara, my Tuesday movie partner, was having Bunko at her house Tuesday evening and decided not to take time to go to a movie...so I went alone. I saw the just released moive "New In Town." It was really cute, starring Renee Zellweger and Harry (The Hunk) Connick, Jr.
Last night I was looking for something to watch before "American Idol" came on at 8pm and found a darling movie on Comcast on Demand....."Alice in Wonderland" was in the "FREE" section. I watched most of it before Idol and then finished it after Idol was over. It's amazing how many good movies are available for free on the television.
Our temperature continues to drop to freezing or below every night. But today the temperature is up to 57* with sunshine and yesterday it got up to about 48* with sunshine. I'd say Spring is trying to creep in, without Old Man Winter knowing. The picture I've posted today is in honor of impending Spring. I always love to see the daffodils poke their little heads out to the dirt and light up the dreary winter garden.
Today was my Reader's Group at the local Round Table Pizza. We had a good group of readers & pizza eaters again today. The visiting author was Ann De Fee....a romance author. She just happens to live here in town but she said they have their house up for sale, hoping to move to Virgina to be closer to their grand kids. She is delightful and we enjoyed hearing how she became a published writer. I've discovered from hearing all these authors, that it's not easy to get published. Sometimes they work at it for years & years.
Well, I'm going to head outside and work a little in the yard while the sun is still shining. Hope everyone is having a good week...Until next time, Linda
P.S. Happy 11th birthday to my grand cat~Madeline

ON AGING
Just before the funeral services, the undertaker came up to the very elderly widow and asked, 'How old was your husband?' '98,' she replied. 'Two years older than me' 'So you're 96,' the undertaker commented. She responded, 'Hardly worth going home, is it?
Reporters interviewing a 104-year-old woman:
'And what do you think is the best thing About being 104?' the reporter asked. "She simply replied, 'No peer pressure."
The nice thing about being senile is; You can hide your own Easter eggs.
I've sure gotten old! I've had two bypass surgeries, a hip replacement, new knees, fought prostate cancer and diabetes I'm half blind, Can't hear anything quieter than a jet engine, take 40 different medications that make me dizzy, winded, and subject to blackouts. Have bouts with dementia, have poor circulation, hardly feel my hands and feet anymore. Can't remember if I'm 85 or 92. Have lost all my friends. But, thank God, I still have my driver's license.
I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my doctor's permission to join a fitness club and start exercising. I decided to take an aerobics class for seniors. I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and down, and perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got my leotards on, the class was over.
My memory's not as sharp as it used to be.
Also, my memory's not as sharp as it used to be.
Know how to prevent sagging? Just eat till the wrinkles fill out.
It's scary when you start making the same noises as your coffee maker.
These days about half the stuff in my shopping cart says,
'For fast relief.'
THE SENILITY PRAYER :
Grant me the senility to forget the people
I never liked anyway, The good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference.
Now, I think you're supposed to share this with 5 or 6, maybe 10 others. Oh heck, give it to a bunch of your friends if you can remember who they are!
Always Remember This:
You don't stop laughing because you grow old,
You grow old because you stop laughing

This Is Disgusting !
What happened to personal responsibility this day ? How could people come to Washington D.C. and leave such a disgusting mess? And we the taxpayers paid to have this cleaned up. 
Super Bowl Sunday
Thanks to our friend Sugar for this beautiful Super Bowl Sunday tag. It's starting out cold & dreary here today. At 9:30am the temperature outside is just 34* and it's sort of overcast~I wonder if that means rain?
I'm not really a sports fan, so I'm not sure what I'll be watching on TV this afternoon. I wish they'd have a program for those of us who aren't football fans that included all the commercials and the half time entertainment.....now that would be something worth watching. I will be watching at least for the 1st half hour because Avon is going to be having a commercial this year. I don't think they've ever done that before.
I hope everyone has a wonderful day and that your team wins. Remember to party responsibly~if your state is the same as Washington, the police and state patrol will have extra people on duty today watching for drunk drivers.
