Jan. 2- Feb. 10

From what seems like a warm MO,

We have had extremes in temperature since I last blogged - several mornings below freezing and now in the upper 50s and lows 60s during the day. The latter is almost over for a few days according to the weather channel, but I will take the good weather whenever I can. At least we have not had ice to deal with as earlier in the winter.

Jim walks at the Y (up to 4 miles each time) 5 to 6 times a week and I manage one mile 4 or 5 times a week. He is an earlier riser than I am so he is usually at the Y before 7:00 - and I go when the mood strikes me - usually late morning.

Jim has seen his doctor about his injured finger and has had therapy until Jan. 23 - the finger will never be perfect, but he can now grasp a fishing pole handle and he is happy. The day after he managed this feat - we headed to Cabela's for an outing.

We have eaten at Fogo de Chao (on the Plaza) with John and Sandy. We did a noon meal as it is much less expensive and we all came away delighted. I knew we would, but I don't think J&S realized how good the food (salad bar as well as meat selection) was.

I have done envelopes for Mobile Meals each Friday a.m. (takes more driving time time than computer time) and have done one Monday morning with computer work. In other words - we have not had a hectic schedule.

Jim is reading the last Dorothy Dunnett book in the current series and is almost dreading finishing it. He has so enjoyed the various series that she wrote.

We have watched a lot of basketball on tv, and have had some frustrations with the Texas Longhorns. Hopefully they will get things together before the Big 12 tournament and then the NCAA tourney.

The girls have now been with us for four years - doesn't seem possible. We had them trimmed this past week and a much needed bath. They continue to be spoiled rotten.

We don't have too much coming up - Jim sees his urologist for what should be a routine visit this week, we have 6 month dental appointments next week, we get our taxes done the week after that, and I have my yearly check-up with Dr. Metry the second week of March. I will also be picking up applications for the Retired Teacher scholarship and then will be setting up a meeting with the committee to make a decision.

Until next time.
Be safe.

B.

It's good to hear that Jim has a rod in his hand again. It makes the stories about the big ones that get away so much more believable.
