kat57 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Hey,I cheated-I looked up what Holly said and found Happy Birthday and Happy New Year on the same list. I think she hoped I had a Merry Christmas,in the last line. And I know Aloha,but always forget what Mahalo is! Short term memory sucks!

Dalesq Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Chilly here tonight, but not as cold as many of you. (Brrrr Barbie!) Happy Birthday Holly! It should be after midnight now in your neck of the woods Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~morningstar~ Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I think Mahalo is 'thank you'? but I might be wrong... or welcome? I can't remember... ~morning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KathieB Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Interesting. Of all of the world languages on Google Translate, Hawaiian is not one of them. It's raining here again, heading toward Holly and Kat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Mahalo nui: BIG thanks! Mele kalikimaka: Merry Christmas Haole makahiki hou: Happy New Year Aloha: love, affection, friendship nui: BIG, emphasis Aloha nui to all of you now and in the coming year. When DH was drafted into the USMC in 1966 we were stationed in Hawai'i, and our nextdoor neighbors in our first apartment were native Hawai'ians who became friendly after DH got to wear his utility uniform to and from work (he was a radar tech with MACS II at Kaneohe MCAS). Between them and church we picked up quite a lot of Hawai'ian, most of which we've forgotten. I discovered how much of my high school French I still had when we spent a month in French Canada the first year we retired, so Bonne Anee, y'all. It's raining here today, so hopefully won't turn off cold again until later on. I see that I'm up to over 49K posts; at one point a while back (30-something K?) someone commented on how much I posted and I offered to quit at 50K. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me-barbie Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 No no Holly. And we are indeed being walloped by mother nature. Whole dang southern part of the province. Mum and I did what shopping needed to be done yesterday, so today we will stay snug in the cottage! Provided we do not lose power from high winds. And we will wait for the snowplows to come through. Those guys call this "white gold". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've only been here less than 2wks and I'm already at 160 posts. I like to post too. So You have to stay and keep posting or I'll miss you and be very sad. I might even cry.

havanaholly Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Even with the rain this has been an outstanding birthday! Everybody at the grocery store was in a jolly holiday mood, our Aprons recipe demonstrator was frantically making shrimp crostini for people, which put us all in an even better mood!

kat57 Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 I woke up to the rain pouring and then I remembered:it's Saturday,I'm off,no company expected,and I can't get out in the yard to do anything,so I just snuggled back into the covers,listened to that glorious sound on the roof and slept in awhile longer. I'm cooking a pot of dry baby limas with onion and bell pepper for tomorrow's supper,boiling some rice,already baked the sweet potatoes,and will fry up some Johnsonville Italian Sausage tomorrow,along with a skillet of cornbread to top it off. No,wait,I'll top it off with a peach cobbler-canned peaches,but still yum!! I hope it doesn't get too cold-I'm still trying to not use our central heat as much as possible,but days like this-you bet it's on!lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roxxie2 Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Its snowing and much colder out today....acting more like winter in the southern Rockies... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me-barbie Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 The snow stopped late yesterday afternoon, so the blizzard warning was replaced by a windchill warning. It was mighty brisk out there shovelling! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havanaholly Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Mighty brisk out here, too. No rain today, but VERY overcast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stacey6163 Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 The warmer temps and rain have been replaced with cold and snow , back to winter . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grazhina Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 We did not get a foot of snow last night. One forecast called for up to 12" of snow, another said 3-4" and another said rain. We may have gotten some rain, but if so, it wasn't much. Tomorrow is supposed to be frigid and windy. I don't want to go out, but DS has his yearly visit with the endocrinologist, which always makes him feel worried and nervous, so I'm going too.

kellee Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Cold ! About 25 degrees. I stayed in all day today, starting to come down with a cold....which is not good. Kellee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
me-barbie Posted January 1, 2014 Share Posted January 1, 2014 Yesterday, the ENTIRE PROVINCE....from the border with the Northwest Territories to the US border....was under a windchill warning. I have never seen the entire province under a warning before, and I have lived here most of my life! Made for a chilly New Yrs Eve! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
