ehBeth, why don't you pop up a pic of your 'Elmer Fudd' hat as an Avatar !!! Would be a sight to see.......

Oh, an just in case, that includes yourself - :wink:

ehBeth revel n'

Well, today the weather guy said there might be a slight chance of rain. So outside i run with great expectation only to see blue skies, sunshine, and mild temps. {sigh}

Frost and and an icy wind- time for the Russian hat.
Danon, you surely will remember these fur hats.
Hoping ehBeth will show her Elmer Fudd hat.

stradee, the next rain I will share with you.
Next week, I guess.
Term reports are due too. So back to work.

ul, Yes, I have one of those hats - the smaller conservative kind. Not the big hairy monsters......

Next month you have an opera to attend. Johann Strauss Ball

And the Albertina will have Biedermeier - - I love the keller below the Albertina.

Thanks, ul!

Elmer hat at the ready.

I haven't stood still long enough in the cold to have any photos taken with the hat ... brrrrrrrrr .... brrrrrrrrr in a good way. More snow on its way. Nothing "serious" yet, but it's real snow - sticking to the ground - enough for the dogs to really enjoy.

from today's email

..........

Three sisters, ages 92, 94 and 96, live in a house together.

One night the 96-year-old draws a bath. She puts her foot in and pauses. She yells to the other sisters, "Was I getting in or out of the bath?"

The 94-year-old yells back, "I don't know. I'll come up and see." She starts up the stairs and pauses "Was I going up the stairs or down?"

The 92-year-old is sitting at the kitchen table having tea listening to her sisters. She shakes her head and says, "I sure hope I never get that forgetful, knock on wood."

She then yells, "I'll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who's at the door."

Good one ehBeth....

I bet it's really COLD where you are today....

Weather outlook:
tonight wind and snow!!
Tomorrow windy, raising temps, next week rain and mild again

Danon- you know again more than I do.
I know of a ball called Johann Strauß Ball and of course the Opera ball- but not an opera with this name. Will have to check.

I had tickets to a music festival- Resonanzen- the festival of old music, but had to give them away- no time.

Warm weather, a bit breezy, and my Stradee who is 17 now, has wandered away from the house!

Reminding her she is a senior cat, she forgets I remind her, I leave the porch for just a few minutes...

Straaaadeeeeeeeeeee

worried

Coldest day yet so far this year. Highest temp was 15 degrees Fahrenheit. This morning when I got up it was five above with a wind-chill of fifteen below. No relief in sight for the next couple of days. (No snow in sight either, damnit, except maybe a slight flurry or two.)

Those Russian hats, btw, are called shepkas. I have one made of sable fur (a gift long ago; I certainly couldn't afford to buy one.)

Two elderly ladies had been friends for many decades. Over the years, they had shared all kinds of activities and adventures. Lately, their activities had been limited to meeting a few times a week to play cards. One day, they were playing cards when one looked at the other and said, "Now don't get mad at me .. I know we've been friends for a long time, but I just can't think of your name! I've thought and thought, but I can't remember it. Please tell me what your name is."


Her friend glared at her. For at least three minutes she just stared and glared at her. Finally she said, "How soon do you need to know?"

ehBeth, You're just too much......

Three military retirees......each with a hearing loss, took a walk together one fine March day.
One remarked, "Windy isn't it?"
"No." the second man replied, "It's Thursday!"
The third man chimed in, "So am I, Let's go have a beer."


:wink:

heading out into the freezing drizzle (why can't it just be nice flouououffy snow?)

Funny!

A dusting of snow we had- now we had a short thunderstorm with snow, sleet and now rain.
Changing shapka to umbrella.

Merry Andrew,
I really wish there were icy days here. I miss the frozen lakes where we can go skating. An ice rink is no substitute.


Bambi, a blonde in her fourth year as a UCLA
freshman, sat in her U.S. government class. The
professor asked Bambi if she knew what Roe vs. Wade
was about.
Bambi pondered the question then finally said, "That
was the decision George Washington had to make before
he crossed the Delaware."

ul,

I have to tell my friends that one.......

Also, here is the link where I get my Vienna info =

Thanks Merry Andrew.. I didn't know the name of the hat.

kleeked

A new blonde joke! (New to me, anyway.) I love it, Ul!

Another 10 minutes thunderstorm. The first snow in this winter.

I'm A Senior Citizen


I am a senior citizen...

- I'm the life of the party... even when it lasts 'till 8pm.

- I'm very good at opening childproof caps with a hammer.

- I'm usually interested in going home before I get to where I'm going.

- I'm good on a trip for at least an hour without my aspirin, antacid...

- I'm the first one to find the bathroom wherever I go.

- I'm awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.

- I'm smiling all the time because I can't hear a word you're saying.

- I'm very good at telling stories...over and over and over and over.

- I'm aware that other people's grandchildren are not as bright as mine.

- I'm so cared for: long-term care, eye care, private care, dental care.

- I'm not grouchy, I just don't like traffic, waiting, children, politicians...

- I'm positive I did housework correctly before the Internet.

- I'm sure everything I can't find is in a secure place.

- I'm wrinkled, saggy and lumpy, and that's just my left leg.

- I'm having trouble remembering simple words like... uh...

- I'm realizing that aging is not for sissies.

- I'm walking more (to the bathroom) and enjoying it less.

- I'm sure they are making adults much younger these days.

- I'm in the *initial* state of my golden years: SS, CD's, IRA's, AARP.

- I'm wondering, if you're only as old as you feel, how could I be alive at 150?

- I'm anti-everything now: anti-fat, anti-smoke, anti-noise, anti-inflammatory.

- I'm a walking storeroom of facts... I've just lost the key to the storeroom.

- I'm a Senior Citizen and I think I am having the time of my life... Aren't I?

ehBeth, be careful girl......arriving 30 seconds later is good......and a lot less traumatic.

That is what I remember of Vienna in January.
