So thought I would show you all my next project. The youngest Miss J wants to play more board and card games. So as we are finishing off our lower level decided a games table was needed. So trolled FB marketplace and picked up a cheap used table locally. Plan to do a Steampunk theme on it to go with the game theme we have. Have gotten Milk Paint and Mr. J is currently working on a gear piece template so that I can be accurate with the transfer.
The example is just that as we chose different colors to go with the game room. Hope to get started on it today.

Just woke to a winter wonderland. Big fat fluffy flakes. Eyeballing about 2” out of my bedroom window out on the deck.

Agree! Haven't been back there in a lot of years, but have been there a few times long ago, in another dimension of time when I lived in Ohio!
ETA: At my age now, not sure I'd much care for or be able to handle a lot of these roller coasters anymore!! LOL!!
Grew up going to Cedar Point every year. It was not to far from where I grew up. Last time I was there was when we took the Miss J’s when they were younger. My parents went with us so Mr J and I could do the coasters. Let me just say I got on the Raptor and almost tossed my cookies. That was the day I knew I was done with inverted coasters. Hershey Park put the nail in my coffin when the Wild Mouse did the same.

On another note, 45F feels so much colder when it’s cloudy. Overcast and feels like winter despite the temp in luterville Timonium
And windy.

Taking the youngest Miss J over to ride her pony. Got to get in days in the winter when we can with no indoor.

Ok so either it is because I worked out today or my barometric knees are leaning towards this storm coming in.

It's from a delightful restaurant in downtown Frederick called Hootch & Banter. I'm sure something can be arranged
LOVE LOVE LOVE Hootch & Banter!

unfortunately, she doesn't. but I checked on one of my favorite sites and although it seems counter-intuitive, the King Arthur Flour site has a gluten-free baking section (maybe though you've seen this already?):

OH thank you!

i hear you on the dairy and i'm glad that cutting out wheat is helping and I hope you feel better. my sister eliminated gluten from her diet, and she is also an amazing baker, so if you are reworking recipes I can always ask her what she does.
Oh yes! Looking for an English muffin recipe if she has one.

Ummmm - looks great. For someone from Ohio you really cook a large variety of cuisines. bon apatite
When I was first married we lived in LA for 2 years. It exposed me to a fantastic range of cuisines. And I like to try new things.

Well I am off dairy and wheat for now. May not have to be but it is helping with some weight loss I need anyways. Have noticed a difference being off wheat with having more energy and not bloated all the time. Have always been lactose intolerant.

Chicken Sharawma salad. New health issues have me taking out certain foods.

Hopefully fcps follows Ccps in offering in person instruction very soon . My hs daughters are very happy they are back in the school. It's nice to give families the option. And it should have been done state wide in September period imo
Enjoy the next 2 days of wintery scenery.
I don't exactly know how to take both of these comments. Can you both enlighten me with your intentions.

Well total surprise just came in for the girls. FCPS has a snow day tomorrow. No virtual instruction as Central Office is closed.

Anyone trying to bank much on the coastal south of I-70 was definitely in prayer mode. The RGEM runs were fun in a cosmic way and it was great to joke around for a time, but unless other guidance started showing something similar, I just remained skeptical and cautionary, waiting to see if it kept it up and others joined in.
I thought the NAMs, the NSSL, the HRRR this morning, the ARW, the NMM, and the HREF would start to come around to the globals but they have shown the exact opposite. It would be a brutal beat for the local NWS offices, and that’s my main reason I feel down. If you haven’t worked in a NWS office, you don’t realize the amount of trust you lose busting a forecast like this and you get berated from all different directions and have to re-earn trust again. It would suck and I would feel for my colleagues. People are stupid and suck and don’t understand weather and it makes the matter worse.
I’m also still recovering from a back injury. I’m much better than a week ago, but I’m not 100%. I am irritated of how this year started and I have other personal stuff with family I’m not gonna talk about. It’s a tough time for me and seeing my friends here get pasted would make me happy. Hopefully everyone enjoys the snow today. I know I’d be out driving around in it, having an absolute blast. It’s such a joy for me and I miss it and I miss home.
.Just want to say that I myself am dealing with some yet undiagnosed health issues currently and really feel for you right now. I never had the this is it feeling with this system, yes I know it is not scientific but call it mothers instinct. Hang in there and you can always count on me for yummy food posts in Banter.

Just a pretty light snow fall up here so far. Nothing that I would warrant for a WSWar for as of yet. Just barely covering the grass would maybe eyeball about 2" started around 5ish this morning.

Eyeballing about an inch here. Tiny flakes falling.

Just saw someone b*tching on an Anne Arundel County wx facebook page that she is disappointed in the snow forecast because "Winter is supposed to be over"....I said huh? We're in the heart of winter...coldest climo period right now. Some people you just cant teach weather to no matter how many times lol
Yea. I usually expect bigger storms in January and especially February. At least in this area.

We had Gottleib's Flying carpet. Picked it up used in 1978. Lots of fun!
I don’t remember what we had. But loved going down and clicking up a score. She got it to help pass time in between doing laundry. With 6 in the family there was a lot of laundry.

Ok who can remember pinball machines when it was 5 balls per game and 5 games for a quarter. Buddies and I would “requisition” a shopping cart from the local grocery, go out picking up soda bottles until it was full, take them in for the deposit and it was cheeseburgers and pinball for the rest of the day.
My mom bought a pinball machine and we had it in our basement. Loved that thing!

I have been thinking with doing custom pieces. The customer gives me the piece they want done and how and I do the art work. I did a coffee table out of an old table also a few years back. Mr. J works for a local game studio so we use what swag he gets for our theme.
