Hi Glassies!
Carma - Are you in line for the bad weather I'm hearing about over this coming weekend? My local weather guessers are saying Canton may drop to the single digits with wind chill. I'll have to be sure all the bird feeders are full before daylight on Sat. My so-called fish pond should have an ice "roof" by late Sat. or early Sun. I'm ready for spring already. The few daffodils that are blooming now will wish they had waited a bit longer before showing themselves.
All of y'all tuck in & try to stay warm.

Hi Glassies - Just a trace of snow here in the Canton area. All was gone by this morning.
Carma - Did you get to use "Genny" to keep warm? Mine came on for less than 30 seconds when we were getting the strong winds before the light snow fell.

Happy New Year Glassies! 2021 surely will be better than 2020 was.
Carma - Sorry to hear about your well issues. This house is on a well & I'm afraid to say it hasn't had issues in a number of years. I'd like to dodge that bullet for a while longer. Glad you were able to find someone willing & able to do the work. Bear swears you can stand on a street corner with cash in hand & still have trouble finding someone to do a chore or a repair for you.
Hope everyone has a healthy & happy 2021.

Good morning Glassies! Happy Thanksgiving to one & all. My Thanksgiving will consist of sharing a rotisserie chicken with the cats. I'm sure they think we should do that every day. Maybe when some of them get jobs & start providing the chicken.
Everybody have a safe & happy day. Later.

Hi Glassies! Not gonna be much of a holiday season this year is it?
Carma - I understand where you are with Marley & Emma coming home, but not quite at home. I had been asked to Selena Anne's for Thanksgiving & when we talked today she was expressing concern since all 3 girls have children from elementary school through college. She worries about the virus "catching a ride" from someone the children have been near & passing it on to us oldsters. Rhetta, Garry & I are all in our mid-70's & I have COPD & Garry has heart issues. I think we're all willing to give up 2 family get-togethers in hopes of having many more. Still sucks tho.

Hi Glassies!
Thanks Carma. I put your information in my Dugan/Diamond book so I won't lose it again. This After Glow bowl in Garden Path Variant so guess that makes it Diamond. I've put that information with the bowl. Have a green opalescent Meander bowl slated for Christmas. Any way to tell Jefferson from Northwood? Thanks again for helping.

Hi Glassies!
Carma - Some years ago you told me about carnival patterns made in green or pink that I believe Imperial had started making about the time the depression pretty much killed the glass market. Sad to say, I've misplaced that information. I have a green bowl of that style that is slated for my god-grand-daughters' birthday this fall & I'm hoping you can bail me out once more. I've been giving her glass or china for her birthday & Christmas ever since she was born & she's into green these days so the gifts this year will be that color. Thank you in advance for whatever help you can give this absentminded old lady.

Hi Glassies! Sure glad I don't live near Julie, Katie or Carma. Was wondering Carma - could you make a shelter similar to a well house for your generator? Ours just sits out in the weather but we don't have anything close to the weather y'all have. We still wouldn't part with ours for love nor money. Best buy we ever made.
Belated holiday wishes to one & all.

Hi Glassies!
Carma - Ya'll are going to love your generator the first time everyone but you is sitting in the dark & freezing or roasting depending on the season. We wouldn't give ours up for love nor money.
Your DW is going to love being retired - it's the best part of getting older. Sometimes I think I must have been born for retirement - I can do nothing with the best of them.

Hi Glassies! Happy Birthday to Mike & nancyjean.
Carma - Awesome news about Marley. She sounds like a "one of a kind" sort of person.
Need some information & thought maybe one of you glassies could help us. Some months ago, Bear bought a pair of boots & paid by Paypal. For months now he's been getting emails from the seller that the boots are out of stock, at another warehouse, etc. Think it's past time to bring this foolishness to an end. Do any of you have a phone number for an actual person at eBay who could help with this mess? As always, we appreciate taking advantage of glassie knowledge. Thanks ever so much.

Hi Glassies! This lurker wanted to make a delayed response to Carma's post about getting a generator.
Last summer we decided to take the plunge even tho Georgia has nowhere near the weather extremes that Maine faces. Like many, we're facing declining health as we get older & we have 9 inside cats that would have to be left behind if we had to go to a motel due to loss of power. Although our Generac cost in the neighborhood of $8K, it included installation, clean up & the connection to electric & propane. It's been worth every penny. The monthly automatic test uses nearly no propane & when we had a 36 hr. power outage a month or so ago the generator was flawless. I woke up briefly when the generator came on & then for the entire duration of the outage we had heat, lights, TV & all other functions operating without a hitch. We've decided it was one of the best investments we've made in recent years.
Just wanted to put in my 2 cents worth since we took the plunge.

Hi Glassies!
We're in GA - just north of Atlanta. The mess before this one was caused by several things - the actual snow & ice, the "powers that be" not being on the ball with using what bad weather equipment we have early enough & the fact that although many folks here are from the north, they seem to forget how to drive in winter once they cross the Mason-Dixon line. We were out a bit the 1st day & didn't have a bit of trouble. Our Subarus can go almost anywhere & I've lived in Alaska, New Mexico & Illinois so I know to just not hit brakes or gas too hard.
The current blast is being handled much better - see where our friends in the Carolinas are having the snowjam this time. The only time I've been out of the house is to fill the bird feeder or walk Bru. I just turn the rats out & stand by to let them back in within a few minutes.
Shelly - We have some Callaway in our booth. It's a really pretty pattern.
Hope all in the line of fire from the current weather can stay safe & warm till it passes. I think everybody will be happy to see spring this year.

Hi Glassies - Just wanted to say that I too have been enjoying Carma's Glass Goodies from the lurk mode.
Carma - I was at an auction this past Fri. night that had a lot of Cambridge Rosepoint. I probably overpaid, but I got quite a bit of it. I'm especially please that I got all 3 gold pieces. Didn't realize they were uncommon, just like gold embossing even more than silver. Thanks sooooo much for the glass goodies. They'd make a great book all by themselves.

Hi Glassies!
Gail - What a beautiful little girl! Until she can have the flea drops, go to Walmart or somewhere similar & buy some 5% Sevin Garden Dust. It will help a bit & it's so safe we used it on really tiny kittens when we were breeding Burmese. Have never had any trouble with it in 30+ yrs. & it does give some relief. What's her name?

Gail Mac - We have those moths here in N. GA too. They're the one used in the Lunesta sleeping pill commercials. Believe I read somewhere that they don't eat when in the moth stage - just court, reproduce & die. Too bad they have such a brief life 'cause they're beyond beautiful. Your pictures were awesome.

Hi Glassies! Saw the discussion on accepting payment other than Paypal & wanted to chime in. I refuse to use Paypal so if I find something I want, I email the seller & ask if they'll take personal checks or bank cashier's checks. About 1 in 10 say no 'cause "it's not allowed by eBay". The others are apparently happy to make a sale & I'm happy to go by the bank for a check to send them. It cuts down on impulse buys on my part but I still get some nice pieces.

Hi Glassies!
Gail - I vote for egrets/herons too. Other than that I know nothing.
Julie - Glad to have you back posting again. So very sweet of MM to adopt a blind cat. That's one handicap I've never faced with a pet. Have had a couple of cats with 1 eye & Thumper had cataracts. Once the baby gets used to the house it will probably behave like a sighted pet.
Best to all.

Hi Glassies!
Had to stop in & say how much I enjoyed seeing JimD's pics. Just too cute for words. It was truly a different time - doubt you'd see that happen very often now.
Marty - Bear is a 2 tour Navy Vietnam vet. The unloved generation - till now. How cool to have a Navy uncle in "lighter than air" - last thing most would expect of the Navy.
Suzy - I always feel sorry for the "instant ancestors" in the malls & stores but can easily understand how they come to be. It's not always that nobody wants them, but that there IS nobody to want them. I have a 2nd cousin in his 80's & a year or so back I dug thru boxes of old photos to send him all those I could find of his mom. He has 2 sons that may want to retain that sort of family knowledge. I'm pretty much the end of the line for my family. My grandmother had 3 sisters. The youngest sister had no children, another had 1 boy (the 2nd cousin), the 3rd had a girl who never married. My granny had a boy & 2 girls. The son had a boy who never married, my aunt never had children & my mom only had me - who had no children.
I'm giving glass & china that belonged to my mom to my best friend from college's oldest daughter since that whole family loves glass & china & Selena Anne has a daughter that we hope will be like her mom, granny, ggm & gggm.
Stay well glassies & try to stay warm & dry.
