Polar vortex remains in effect

It is ridiculously cold yet again upon waking at -35. Had went out quick at 5 am and high tailed it back inside. It was as usual start to the day feeding pets and coffee When I went for a shower I was shocked to see the ensuite bathroom window had crystals INSIDE!! The only good part is bright sunshine. S read for a bit and I played some more Flow. Check out pub tour day in Palm Springs.

watch the video view of the ice inside

Dave and Cooper arrived at 10:30. B was at an equine seminar today where she gave a presentation on the vet nursing program she has. Dave even gave Flow a try. For lunch I made grilled chicken sandwiches and a sausage cheese plate.

S and I went out to feed the horses on south side of the shop. The north wind was hardly blowing but so biting on bare skin. I can’t imagine their or lips as my face was froze in the short time we were out.

Yesterdays fruity chicken supper followed directly by a bath :)

Back inside to the warmth we started a rousting game of Russian rummy. Also known as 12 step rummy. This 1 hand game took awhile and was challenging. Dave headed off for the city to a friends for football at 2:30.

I made a pot of hamburger soup and let simmer till supper. I brought a game from the shelf called Tantrix. Ma and Pa brought it from Australia years ago for us. S and I tried it but found it quite confusing.  We were about to give up and give to the thrift store when I checked YouTube for hints This had us trying the color loop challenge. This was similar to the brain game flow we have been playing. We were busy on level 13 when B arrived after her seminar day at 5;30. She fed the beet pulp I had made earlier with high fat to them. Then we all at the delicious hamburger soup.

first game success

B was off for a shower and relax at 6:30. We figured out how to actually play the Tantrix game. This had us hooked for a couple hours. We then moved to bed to watch TV. I finished the Million Dollar Decorators while S watched sports. We then watched a couple Car Masters episodes. S was off to sleep and I drifting when I remembered the bone broth I had put on yesterday. I brought it in and packaged up. Now to listen to some sleep podcasts to try and fall back asleep.
