RITA DOING OK FOLLOWING HER SURGERY

RITA RECOVERS
I talked to her around 1 and they were expecting to go home about 2.  She had both eyelids operated on so she'll look like a raccoon for a couple of weeks with big black eyes.

THE LATEST FROM THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE


BLOWING SNOW HAS CAUSED SOME BRIEF WHITEOUT CONDITIONS ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA & NORTHEAST IOWA TODAY.

 VISIBILITIES HAVE DROPPED TO A QUARTER OF A MILE AT TIMES & HAVE
CAUSED A NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS IN THIS AREA. THIS BLOWING SNOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGH THE REST OF THE AFTERNOON BEFORE IMPROVING THIS EVENING.

WIND CHILLS OF 25 TO 40 BELOW ZERO WILL OCCUR TONIGHT WITH THE
WORST CONDITIONS OCCURRING IN SOUTHEAST MINNESOTA & NORTHEAST IOWA. WIND CHILLS THIS COLD WILL CAUSE FROST BITE IN 10 TO 30 MINUTES.
  
 
GOTTA GET SOME! GOTTA GET SOME!

I LIKE THIS ONE:



THIS COULD ONLY BE DESIGNED BY A NORWEGIAN:


A GREAT DAY FOR CHEESE
It was on January 22, 1964 that the largest block of cheese the world has ever known was produced in Wisconsin.  The cheese weighed 17.4 tons and was made with 170,000 quarts of milk.  It was made for display at the Worlds Fair in New York.


Whoever invented January should be severely punished.


ANOTHER GOOD DAY TO STAY INSIDE:  Blustery winds will produce wind chills as low as 14 below.  Tonight we'll get down to 11 below and wind chills of 30 below.  For all you folks who complain about the heat in the summer time....I hope you're happy now.


Rita and Roger's Grandson, Jacob, went skiing last weekend.  This is a picture of Jake coming off a 20 foot cliff with, what looks like, only one ski???

Rita said, "I'm so happy I didn't know he was doing this stuff before he sent this picture or I would have "fretted."

I know Rita too well.  Not only would she have fretted, she would have stewed too.
 
 
LOVE THE MEAN KITTY SONG:

 
 
Piper Laurie celebrates her 82nd birthday today.  She was a big star back in the 50's and appeared with some of the biggest stars in Hollywood.
 
Is Piper Laurie her real name?  Of course not.  It was Rosetta Jacobs on her birth certificate but can you imagine Mel Gibson starring in a movie with Rosetta Jacobs?
