Hi Jewelies! We had a some snow flurries early this morning! Melted as it hit the ground. Still very windy out. Over the weekend we had wind gusts up to 50mph! Leaves everywhere! Ugh! Supposed to get down into the 20's overnight but then tomorrow starts a trend back up to the 60's! Crazy weather! This week schools are closed again to in person learning. Teachers unions have asked the governor to cancel all in person classes until Jan. The governor isn't for that because so many rural kids don't have easy access to the internet. Some think he is not closing the schools because of the fall sport championship games that are coming up in the next couple weeks. Glad I don't have kids in school. I don't know what I'd do. Robin said all the courts are closed again. All court business is now virtual. Two county commissioners are in the hospital with ykw. Both are elderly men so I hope they will be ok. Both think they contacted the virus on Election Day.  On a bright note...my town erected that ugly fake Christmas tree last week! It's on the school grounds down the street from me on the main drag through town. I can see it's star towering over the top of the trees down the street. The city has put the tree ( used to be a real tree) in the same spot forever. Long time ago my brother told Robin ( she was a little thing back then) that the tree was hers! He said he put it there so everyone in town could see her tree! Lol! She believed him!

Cal, I am no fan of Liz and her horrible mom! I think her mom is just using her. Wonder how this will all play out? Glad that Polly is ok! Would be scary working in a nursing home. Be scary living there, too. Love your Nordic tree! It's so pretty. I haven't started mine yet. Better get on the ball! My sis and I will go to Walmart tomorrow. Wonder how many people won't have their masks on after the mask mandate from the governor. Police chief said they will escort anyone not wearing a mask out of the store if the store reports them. Hope your little bird is ok. I have a mass of birds at my feeders now. Crow had to shoo away a hawk earlier this morning. Guess the hawk was hungry, too.

Lupe, I just wonder if all this could have been avoided if more was done months ago. It's so politicized now. What a crazy time we are living in. I hope 2021 is brighter. Yummy, turtle cupcake!

Ra, you do love your games! I like the ornament smashing game, too! I can't believe your youngest grand is a senior! Where did time go? Does she want to go to Clemson? Sorry to hear about your ex. How can you help someone that doesn't want help.  Maui is one bad kitty! She climbs the curtains and tears all the toilet paper off the roll! She is such a joy. Just what we needed! Walmart and Piggly Wiggly still don't have Chili-o. Haven't checked Kroger's yet. Crow checked Amazon and they were out of stock of the regular Chili-0! Crazy times!

Jo, cool, white Pelicans! Thanks for the info!

Have a great day and stay safe!

Hi Jewelies!  Another nice fall day here... a little chilly and a little windy, but not a cloud in the sky.

cal... I think you've made the right decision about going to CA's for Christmas.  No need to press you luck.  No, haven't gotten around to watching Blacklist yet...  I keep forgetting.

rues... I had to laugh at you talking about Maui... she's a bad kitty, but she's a joy.  lol  She sounds like Handsome and his tricks!  He always emptied the toilet paper rolls too, but now I keep it in a crock with a lid on it,  Every once in awhile, I'll test him to see if he has outgrown that, but sooner or later, he always empties the roll.  lol  He used to get on the counter when I was working and empty the paper towels, too!!  Now, I keep the roll inside the cabinet.  Once when he was little, I caught him carrying my underwear through the house!!  So glad that was a one time occurance.  lol

Hi lupine and joho and all our MIA's!

[ra]

Forgot to say... I guess my ex is doing better.  My daughter told me that he put in an order at the Steakhouse and had his regular Uber driver pick it up for him.

Good morning everyone- it was one of those nights. I woke up at 1:30 when Izzy jumped down or fell off the dresser where she sleeps. She was fine so i think she just jumped down. but i was awake so i got up and went back to bed at 4 AM. Slept late then.

The weather is sunny and fairly warm but with a stiff wind so it doesn't feel nice. I made a trip to Stringtown for eggs and cheese. Not too many people there   and all in masks.

ra- oh the vision of your cat carrying your undies about!  lol  I've had many cats that had a fascination with toilet paper. I'm sure they thought it was just a cat toy put there for their amusement.  At any rate i've gone into the bathroom many times to find a pile of tp on the floor. Sometimes the pile was neat and other times it was shredded

Ordering out today at the local  cafe in town. They are open only for takeout and masks required to come in to pick up. Tennis on the computer. It's really different to try to visualize the call of the points.

Have a great day jewelies!

Hi ev1,
Clear and cool today.  Granddaughter found 6 Chili-o and bought them all.  She gave me 4.  Her husband likes French's chili too.  I made some good chili, but there is only one bowl left. YKW is bad in Ohio.  Governor went on and on yesterday trying to get people to see what they must do.  He asked us all to think of some action ande do it
 Debbie says she thinks I should not come to dinner at her house.  She is making a 17 pound turkey for her three kids and her ex at her house, but she thinks it is too risky for me.  Mary works in the hospital, and some of her coworkers have had covid infections.  she has tested negative many times, but Debbie is still cautious for me.  She will bring a lot of left overs to me that I will love.
God Bless CUL

Hi Jewelies!  Another nice day here!  I got some raking done, but that won't be the end of it,there's still trees with most of their leaves!  Yesterday I made homemade vegetable soup.. wish I could share it with you all.

joho... My grocery store didn't have any Chili-O this week.  Had to settle for store brand...the whole section was basically empty.  People must be making a lot of chili these days!    Glad you got a good supply now!

cal... My ex uses the same Uber driver all the time to go to the VA hospital in NC, to go to the poolroom in town, to go to the grocery store, etc... so, he's someone he can trust with his food.  I sent you a package yesterday...  I watched Blacklist yesterday, so you can talk about it now.  lol  Those earrings are so funny!!

lupine... I was up at the same time as you were last night!  If we had known, we could have talked or something.  lol

rues... I heard on the news last night that WV has some snow!  Hope it's not you!  lol  Do you have your snow shovel out yet?   

Have a good afternoon, Jewelies!

Daily Updates
GiveMN Eve - UPDATE November 18, 2020
18 November 2020
 Print Email
GiveMN

It?s the eve of the big day, but you have already generously given $9,083 to the Bear Center and $1,590 to the Wildlife Research Institute.

Donations to the Bear Center will be combined with GiveMN 2019 funds to improve our ambassador bears? enclosure. We will replace much of the fencing, enhance drainage and improve structures in our bears? individual enclosures. The new fencing will be bear-friendly, allowing us to eliminate electric wiring from the interior fence. Not only will this project benefit our bears, it will also help advance our mission by improving our popular Behind-the-Scenes tours that are part of our education mission. Expanding out education outreach will be a major focus this coming year.

Donations to the Wildlife Research Institute will go for diversionary bear food and a den cam setup that we are designing as we speak. The landowner of Lily?s den is excited, and so are we. Schools have been hoping for more den cams for years?as have Lily fans. Last year Lily had four cubs. We?ll see what she has this January.

Due to Covid-19, we are cutting way back on our GiveMN podcasts that have always been fun. Cheering us on and letting us know of any golden tickets and matching fund opportunities this year will likely be mainly our ?Master of Ceremonies? Scott Edgett with his enthusiasm and humor.

Thank you for all you do.
Lynn Rogers, Biologist, Wildlife Research Institute and North American Bear Center
