The
weather has been on a roller coaster this week.
It has been cold, warm and we have had two inches of rain in 24 hours. The rain was on Tuesday. Today is sunny and cold. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and warmer
with rain moving in by tomorrow night/Sunday.
Last
Monday we spent the day running errands.
In order, we went to the bank, Walmart, Kroger for gas, SAM’s, Office
Depot, Books A Million, Petco, Target and Kroger. In between we stopped for lunch – just a
quick sandwich at McDonald’s. We left
the house at 9:30 a.m. and didn’t return until 4:30 p.m. We were exhausted, but we sure accomplished a
lot!
Tuesday
was a day of recuperation. Of course, I
did my morning chores, two loads of laundry, and made a pot of chili. We had hamburgers for supper. Wednesday was a day of odds and ends around
the house. We took Kevin and Renea to
Red Lobster for supper. Had a great
time. Kevin drove my car, and when we
pulled in the driveway upon arriving home there was a beautiful doe laying in
my front yard. She got up, looked at us,
and slowly walked away. Several times
she looked back. Eventually she was to a
point where we couldn’t see her any longer.
Kevin and I both have deer in our yards most nights.
It
seems that in the late afternoon Penny and Mattie usually decide to chase each
other. On Tuesday Jana had just set the
table and put her pills (which she puts in a small plastic cup by her plate) on
the table. About that time the “girls”
started their chase. Penny jumped on the
table, slid across and the cup of pills went flying. My first reaction was
chase the girls out of the room so we could get the pills picked up before they
decided to eat them. Not sure if they
would, but didn’t want to take any chances.
Thursday,
for some reason, was another lazy day.
We had the chili for supper. Then
after supper Jana and I played the game Sorry.
She bought the game just for the heck of it. The rules are different than we remember, so
we adjusted the game to be the way we played it when we were kids. We had a lot of fun and had a lot of
laughs.
However,
today has been busy so far. Before I
showered and dressed I got my morning chores done. Paid a few bills and ran the sweeper in the
living room. Jana is now playing cards
on her computer after checking her emails and bank. I really need to get outside and fill the
birdfeeders.

You two have me beat. I thought I accomplished a lot the other day. Went to the post office (which is an adventure because Mt Healthy is tearing up all of the streets doing drain work...you never know which streets are going to be open/closed). Then I got a hair cut, went to the bank, Petsmart and the Party Outlet. Feels good to get so much running around done.
Lucky you, seeing deer all the time. I haven't seen many lately. Our neighbors have 8 huge husky type dogs. They are usually indoors and when they are out they are quiet. But, I think the deer know they are nearby, so stay away...I'm guessing. I hope once we get snow and it stays cold, the deer may start visiting my feeders.
You two are keeping busy, that is for sure. Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Just wanted you to know that I am now playing WordBrain, which you had mentioned earlier. Getting hooked on it! Thanks, Jana! We wish you both and your families a Happy and Healthy New Year 2017.
Love, Arlene and Bob
