It is scary, and yes we all need a back-up plan. A few years ago (due to G's health & breathing problems) we sacrificed a chunk of change and got a whole house generator. It turns on within 1 minutes of power outage and is run by natural gas. It was costly - but you can't put a price on life. It will run everything for us.<br /><br />Stay safe and warm.Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-85380544628920950852018-02-05T14:04:27.758-05:002018-02-05T14:04:27.758-05:00Your cookies look so yummy.

My family likes a little something sweet after a meal, so guess I should bake something this week. ;) Glad that you don't have to pay too much in taxes. We haven't done ours yet, but I am hoping for the best. We haven't had much snow, but we did have an ice storm yesterday, and we lost electricty for about 12 hours. Made me realize that I need to be better prepared. I can cook outside using the grills or camping stove and camping oven or even dutch oven, but who wants to be outside cooking in an ice storm. I need to find a backup plan for my backup plan. ;)<br />Hope you have a great week. Stay safe and healthy.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16710629007170091862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-68454099406240899122018-02-05T13:53:47.349-05:002018-02-05T13:53:47.349-05:00Yes it is very scary right now.

I figured just throw the pears in too.

My son closed at work and they are allowed to bring home leftovers. He brought home 7 loaves of bread, cookies, bagels and pasties. I won't have to bake all week. I pulled out chili from the freezer so all I had to make was rice for the Super Bowl.Marybethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11460608284438353326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-32651935532955841802018-02-04T16:47:39.855-05:002018-02-04T16:47:39.855-05:00That is why I love having the right weather to han...That is why I love having the right weather to hang laundry outside. I just love the feel and the smell.<br />I cut my softeners in half or thirds and use them more than once.<br />I hang my clothes to dry even in the basement. Now I do use the drier in winter to toss out wrinkles, and to do sheets and bedspreads (big stuff).<br />Hope you have a great week!Cheryl Kimbleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06485771676254429681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7341912661779864632.post-33792348610189607012018-02-04T16:37:29.444-05:002018-02-04T16:37:29.444-05:00Sounds like you had a great week.

If there seems to be static very occasionally, I cut a sheet in quarters and put just a fourth of one in the dryer for touch up. I'm liking my sheets and clothes a lot better without any additives.

About time to go out and clean it up. I didn't even watch the ground hog. Like you said Spring will be here when it decides! You did get some great deals at Kroger. My husband came in the living room a couple of weeks ago and his pajama pants were up to his knees in static. I started putting the dryer sheets (cut in half) in the dryer then! Have a great week!
