Bistro on the corner

Stay safe everyone! It seems whenever the northeast gets slammed hard, Texas likes to pretend it's summer. Hard to believe we're in the same country. I'll send some warm wishes your way .

I understand that when the conditions get worse in some parts in US it is better to stay indoors because most people don't have winter tires and the plowing made by the cities isn't there. But I did laugh a little with the CNN coverage of the NY blizzard when we have the exact weather in here and nothing stops.

The sky is spewing water, sleet and snow all at the same time today. And everyone goes about their business. And I'm not saying drivers here don't collision more here with their cars in this weather, they do...but we just don't care in here.

^What country are you from?

The weatherconditions of the Northeast of America has reached the news even here (the Netherlands). As I hate snow and ice and cold and everything involved with it (except for the beautiful white scenery once it's settled down) I wish you all well and most of all:
a good functioning heater. 

And also lots of cups of tea, soup or hot chocolate of course.

From Finland, and we've had weird weather in the south here for all winter: snow and cold, then next day rain, then it all freezes again and becomes super slippery and then some more snow on top of that ice...and then repeat that cycle in the course of one week.

And today it's everything coming down at the same time.

But it is nice to just curl up under a blanket if you don't have to go out into that weather, and if electricity and networks are OK, then just watch something on TV or if technology isn't working then just read.

boy oh boy, my old tired bones are killing me! just spent an hour digging my car half way out of the damn snow. thank god the snow is still soft or else i would need to rent a cement drill for this job! btw i was lucky had help from one nice neighbor. he did the really hard part. i hate snow when it comes to the "aftermath". i just want the sun to come out, and the temperature to rise, so all of this nasty stuff can melt away. but checking the weather report, looks like the worse may not be over yet.

anybody living in florida? wanna invite me over for a walk on the beach? can't wait for summer...

and luckily i am in NYC. not long island or boston. my prayers to those who got hit worse than i was.

grrrrr... big snow again! another round of digging tomorrow... on the bright side, at least there's no pollen...yet.

may all the snow bunnies safe and warm in the mid and north eastern US!

Girls, if I haven't commented so much if because my grandmom hasn't been well. And this concerns all my family as she started to feel weak all of sudden. And well, I simply want to ask you to pray for her, to ask God whatever he believes if the best. Just that.

Sending out good thoughts and prayers for your grandmother, for you, and the rest of your family. Hugs, my friend.

I'm sorry to hear about your grandmother's condition, Romina. I shall pray and hope that it is God's will that your grandmother recovers her strength and has more time with you and your family.

all i can see is black and blue in both ics. but many say white and gold, or different in each pic. is this a joke?

Kind of a sad day in the Star Trek universe.
He lived long and prospered. Goodbye Mr. Spock.

I met Mr. Nimoy at a convention many years ago and he was one of the most gracious and generous celebrities that I've had the privilege to interact with. I was a nerdy high school student and grew up watching Star Trek reruns, so meeting him was something akin to being in the presence of royalty. But he was kind and friendly and immediately put everyone at east with a joke and a smile.

Am really sad now because so many figures from my childhood are leaving me.

My family and I we are going through a difficult moment as my grandmom died today:(. All what I'm able to say is she was like a mom for me

Im so sorry to hear that Romina. Losing a loved one is very hard. Hope you and your family will recover from grief soon. Difficult time will pass. It always does.

Hugs.

Gracias/Thanks Kim. I sincerely appreciate your words. I'd like to say more,but I can't.

My condolences to you and your family, Romina.
You were clearly close to your grandmom, it must be hard to lose her now.

I'm so sorry, Romina. I know how hard it is to lose someone that you loved and all the kind words don't make it any easier. We're all here for you.

My condolences to you and your family as well Romina.

Thanks for your support girls. I truly appreciate it 

I've sent you a PM, Romina. I'm sorry for your loss, and I'm sorry for not responding earlier.

Hello from Brussels Belgium! I am here for the night before heading to Bruges in the morning, just a couple hours from Marie.

I had a busy three days in London! I walked a lot and saw so many of the major sights, including the tower of London, Westminster Abbey, Kensington palace, the London eye, and Shakespeare's globe theater.

My hotel was right around the corner from the south bank lion so of course I took pictures.

I will be sure to post pictures when I get home!

^Welcome to this side of the ocean, Karen.

Did the south bank lion speak to you? Or maybe gave a little wink?


I hope you have better weather in Belgium than we're having here atm (lots of rain).
Have a great time regardless, Bruges is really beautiful!
