Tues. March 6

From what was initially a crisp morning to a sunny afternoon - from MO,

This has been a quiet day for us. We were at the Y before 8:00 this a.m. to walk. There were probably about the fewest people there that I can remember - we must have arrived between groups.

After cleaning up, we headed to the McDonald's drive through for egg biscuits and then on to get three or four items at WalMart (girls safely tucked in their travel crate in the back seat) and then on to HyVee to do some "old geezer" shopping. We decided that meatloaf sounded good so we bought the hamburger and then Jim decided he would like a little sausage in it as well. I really didn't have as many things on my list this week as I am trying to clean out the shelves to get rid of items that started the year (2007). I have never had a can "erupt" but I also don't want to do the clean-up.

I left a little after 11:00 to take HyVee receipts to Dewey as well as to leave some free stickers with Debby. I briefly saw Marcella Murray (mom of a pole vaulter) and then was off to the library to deliver some clean plastic bags as well as donate a book that was listed as being on reserve. I met Helen and Mary for lunch at Piece of Cake. The special today was a sandwich of choice (Mary and I chose chicken salad on a croissant) and cheese/broccoli soup. It had to be the largest and probably flakiest croissant I've ever seen and it was delicious. The only downside was about a 25 minute wait for them to take our orders and then a long time to get them served (with only maybe six or seven customers in the store!) The place was quiet so we had a good time visiting.

I hadn't meant to doze this afternoon, but gave up about 1:30 - and didn't waken until after 4:00. Hopefully I won't pay a bad price tonight.

The meatloaf turned out well and I baked a couple of small sweet potatoes to go along with it. We had sort of an orangy supper as Jim had also cooked some small carrots this afternoon - really turned out good - and when I asked - he had added some Splenda to them.

Jim has breakfast with both old men groups on Wednesday a.m. and I'll just see what the a.m. brings. I have a couple of sausage patties left so I might just cook these and make a small omelet. We will walk a little later in the a.m. - either at the Y or outside - depending on sun and temperature.

Trixie is dozing on the back of Jim's recliner while he watches tv and works on a Sudoku puzzle. In the meantime, Abby is at my feet - sound asleep.

Be safe.
B.
