Thurs. Jan. 11

From what is supposed to be a warmer MO, but my old bones feel the dampness and see nothing warm about the day!

Jim and I had restless nights - no fault with the girls as they were sort of jolted when I spent from about 2:00 until 3:30 in the front room as I couldn't sleep - then found out that Jim had spent the same time in the bedroom with the tv on as he also hadn't been able to sleep.

I joined the ladies this morning. I'm guessing we had maybe somewhere between 10 and 12. Eloise Wade was there again as well as a first time for Sandy Ross. Kay Green usually can't join us because of her part time teaching at Trenton, but was with us this morning. We had a tables full plus an overflow - needless to say a lot of conversations were going on.

About 11:00, the four of us walked outside. We did the slope on the west side of Morningside and it really got to me - am thinking it was because I had eaten. Anyway, when we got back home, I was soon in bed for a couple of hours.

We did some errands (with the girls in the crate in the backseat) after I began moving - mainly HyVee. The meeting I was supposed to have this afternoon has been delayed due to illness on one of those that needed to be there. Jim slept a couple of hours this afternoon.

We are having a leftover concoction this evening - wild rice, diced tomatoes, onion, carrots, celery, stew meat, garlic, and surely something else that I have forgotten. The aroma is delightful. I plan on fixing six corn muffins to go along with the meal.

I was watching Paula Deen this afternoon and got in the last part of a Mexican chicken casserole as well as muffins with green chilies. I've downloaded the recipes and will need to try them out at some point.

I bought a pork loin roast at HyVee this afternoon and plan on baking it on Friday.

We are to get some rain this evening which will turn into freezing rain by morning. I don't think it is to be as bad as originally thought - fine with me. I had wondered today if maybe we should buy a small Coleman stove just to have in case electricity goes off. We could use it either in the sunporch or in an open garage.

Jim joins the second group of old geezers for breakfast in the a.m. and I just had a call from Lucy Murphy relative to joining a group at Francines about what we do relative to Mobile Meals.

Be safe.
B.
