Sun. & Mon. March 5 & 6

From an almost balmy MO,

Sunday was not a very warm day, but today is absolutely gorgeous.

We didn't do much on Sunday other than enjoy the girls, wade through the morning newspapers, and basically just putter.

I had Mobile Meals this a.m. and Ruth showed up to help. She looked much better today and had some of her usual onery streak in her - she is so delightful. It was good to see the twinkle in her eyes. We had no glitches today and were out of there in a little over an hour. The checkbook is balanced, bills have been paid, data sheets have been printed, and labels have been made. This is the way it is supposed to go.

When I got back home, we put harnesses on the girls and set out on a surface street walk.

Jim has been putting on some ointment that is supposed to help take care of sun damaged skin and the left side of his face looks like a mass of sores. He decided after walking outside this morning that maybe we had better return to the Y until he has some healing. He doesn't want too many people seeing him right now.

I met Pat a little before noon at Pizza Hut. Afterwards we checked out the antique store where the "Duck Club" used to be. It was cold inside as he has not had heat on and had the building opened up today for airing. It really didn't smell as if it had been closed up, but it was good to get out in the warm air. Next we went to the antique mall between Threads and Investor's National. I found several pieces of the Vernonware, but none that I could use. Pat found some beads that she can use in her jewelry "manufacturing" as well as a book with her older daughter's name on the title. Evidently there is a series with this name and Pat has found a couple of the books for her daughter.

Next we went to the "junk" store across from Casey's. I was looking for a ream of colored paper - found a yellow ream for $1.50. I think I tossed maybe two sheets when I got home, but it will do fine for me. They had lots of white paper today - also at $1.50.

We are going to finish leftovers tonight - ham and beans along with the remaining cornbread - guess that means I will need to cook on Tuesday evening.

We have no special plans for Tuesday. I have a list to take to HyVee to get an "old geezer" discount.

Be safe.
B.
