Our Morning Coffee and Weather

[RanchRoper]

25f right now. Going to 50's again. Tea in my little thermos. It fits in the little bag on back of my saddle. On with the day.

Had a great Easter weekend. Although she was supposed to keep it a secret, (my wife cannot keep a secret), my wife told me Friday that my oldest daughter was flying from Buffalo, NY and my Grandson from Kenai, Alaska for the weekend. Easter is a big deal for us and all the family gathers here in the woods for a day of eating and laughing.

Well, they got here Saturday night. Sunday after church the rest started arriving. I smoked a huge ham and there were many side dishes. We ate well and had a load of fun.

Took my Grandson back to the airport yesterday and my daughter leaves this evening.

What a great surprise.

50's today and looks like a foot of snow coming by weekend. Oh well, makes good grass and any wet stuff is always welcome around here.

Your perseverance and attitude are admirable RR.

Well, everyone has gone home and the house is quiet and empty. Just me and the Missus. Miss them already.

Supposed to hit 74 today with bright sunshine so I'll do yard work. Same tomorrow only a little cooler.

Took my Daughter and Wife shopping yesterday after eating lunch at Protillo's in Woodbury, Mn. Chicago Beef sandwiches,
dipped in Au Jus and lots of hot peppers. Really good. Then sitting around while they shopped. Put her on the
place last evening and she's home to her husband now.

It was a great weekend!

30's this morning with some ominous clouds rolling over the mountains. Looks like snow....tea in Henry mug.

Coop, I lived in the Chicago area for almost 20 years. Don't miss the weather, but do miss places like Portillos. Loved their subs!!
Some good eats up there.

Used to be that we only ate there when we went to Chicago for a family thing with my in-laws, but now they have built two
locations in the Twin City area with one more planned this Spring. The newest one will be twenty minutes away from us
here in the sticks. Probably will lose it's uniqueness for us.

For those wondering what we're talking about....

As a matter of fact a few years back my son in law ordered a pack of the beef sandwiches with all the trimmings
for my Wife on her birthday. It came UPS and was really good. So yes, they do deliver. That was out of Chicago.

Here you go Mark. Enjoy!

Going to be having cup of coffee (or two) from my thermos out in the woods turkey hunting this morning. Low fifties temps to start. Always like getting settled in before daylight and listening to the whipperwills singing, and hearing the owls signing off for the night.......and then comes that first gobble of the morning! If you can hear that stuff and watch God bring up the lights out in the timber...whatever comes later...shoot or don't shoot....it's all great in my opinion my friends. Have a great day today. That's my plan.

Copper hawk and Markiver -

When I worked in Round Lake, IL, we used to run to Portillos in Volo for lunch occasionally. That being said, I personally liked Beef Villa in Woodstock more.

By the way, Markiver, it looks like they have a place on their website where you can order deliver (even to NC). I have ordered Chicago Pizza from Giordanos and Edwardos delivered down here.

Got to get the old Journey out of the shed and get it ready for the annual blue grass festival coming up in about a month.

Nice bright sunshine today and 50 degrees, but would you believe that they are predicting rain and SNOW tomorrow? Yuck!
