Cold day

It was 46 degrees this morning when I finally struggled to get from under my electric blanket. Even Kandi didn't want to get up. Too cold for us. I ran my electric heater in my bedroom, closing the door to downstairs all night. It kept us nice and warm. The electric fireplace was turned on when I came downstairs. It is just not going to keep the RV warm. I turned the furnace on also and after it warmed up the fireplace does a fair job. I am on 30 amps and the fireplace is 15 amps. So, I have to be careful or I will trip a breaker. I think if I were on 50 amps, I could possibly run the fireplace and one electric heater in the bedroom. 
I can't seem to get anything done for reading on my Kindle. I am reading Punctured (Las Vegas Mystery), so far it has kept me interested. The best read I have had lately The Grail Conspiracy a Cotton Stone adventure. I couldn't put it down. Now you know why I can't get anything done! I do love my Kindle and I'm thinking of giving myself a Christmas present of the new Kindle HD.Does anyone have that one?

  1. I don't have a kindle. But I forgot that I do have an electric blanket. Just might put it to use tonight too! Stay warm, I am personally loving this cold front for a change though. Can't believe that I actually had to use my a/c for awhile yesterday. Ahhh, a day in Texas huh?

  2. I have a Kindle Fire and I like that it is in color and that I can check emails and check out websites and read blogs using it, but the screen has a glare outside. I am actually thinking of getting a basic Kindle to use when reading outside.

    1. I have the plain old Kindle and can't see it without turning on a light. I would like to be able to see my e-mail. Also have to click that thing on the side to turn pages. But, I still like it.

  3. I'm still trying to get used to my Kindle -- I still like the feel (and smell) of a book in my hands -- but will admit, carrying books in the RV can get heavy! I'll be glad to get back to TX and out of this Iowa below freezing nites....weatherman said the nites would be above freezing for the next week! Stay Warm -- and make sure you have that Texas weather warmed up for me when I get back! Helen

    1. I like my Kindle and my FREE books. That way I can enlarge the print so I don't have to wear my glasses!
      When are you coming home? It was really cold here last night.
