Wed. Nov. 15
From a MO that feels almost like snow!
Today has been basically overcast all day with the air feeling damp and the windchill wasn't much above freezing - not my kind of day. I can deal with this better if at least the sun is out.
We had a good night of sleep courtesy of the girls and also Jim sleeping -- so we had an earlier than usual start this morning - at least for me.
Jim joined both breakfast groups this a.m. and I headed to HyVee a little before 8:00 - hadn't done this for a few weeks. Pat was already there as well as Gerald Schmidt. I joined them and soon afterwards Barbara Lame also showed up.
When Jim returned from his breakfast outing, we loaded up the girls and headed to the Amish store just south of Jamesport to buy more Havarati cheese. When we returned home, I fixed toasted cheese sandwiches for us and then we basically puttered around here until a little after 1:00 when we headed to the County Health office to get our flu shots.
We then headed towards Liberty where we had a marvelous time at Kohl's - half off and then another 15% old geezer discount. Jim was after more turtleneck sweaters and I found a couple of sweaters as well as some fur-lined boots to wear when I take the girls outside - especially in the middle of the night. Last winter I had to stop and put socks on and then shoes before going out - usually just slip into my Birks in good weather.
We ended up going to Texas Roadhouse on the recommendations of Butch, David, and Don. The food was okay, but I don't think we will rush back. The atmosphere was fun and when we do go back, we will try their sandwiches. The baked sweet potatoes were excellent.
We were home probably about 6:30 - or a little after. Of course the girls conveyed their happiness at our return and need some lap time this evening. Gas was $2.01 at WalMart. It was $2.17 at the Cameron - highway 36 and I-29 junction.
Thursday is a full day for me - breakfast with the ladies, haircut, RSVP board meeting, and library board meeting. We may go to see the new Russell Crowe movie (Thurs. is the last day in Chillicothe) and will watch the Texas basketball game in the evening. I have some navy beans soaking, have diced the ham and onions - and will get the crockpot going in the a.m.
We had a call from the plumber this evening and he will be here in the morning. The faucet handles in the utility room need replacing and the "neck" at the bar is frozen in place. I am not sure just what all he will have to do, but when we cleaned out underneath the bar this evening, there appears to be corrosion on the outlet pipes - so am guessing they may also need to be replaced. We have been going to do these things for some time so it will be good to have them done.
Be safe.
