  • Cool & wet again this morning, temp: 54, high: 64.
  • Picked up a few groceries at H-E-B.
  • Called Margaret regarding travel arrangements. I'll be spending 1/22/2015 to 1/27/2015 with her. Once I get confirmation, I'll post them and send them to my kids & Marg.
  • Dan & Candy Sasse invited me to a meat loaf supper at 5:30 with Candy's son, Jase, & mother, Irene. Thanks, Candy & Dan, for a wonderful supper and great company.

  • Nice morning: warm, calm, cloudy, temp: 71, high: 77. Scattered showers forecast.
  • at the men's breakfast, several guys ask about Jim & Diane. And on the way home scattered showers started with a light sprinkle.
  • Worked on my "To Do" list: decorating Christmas tree, collecting trash & putting it out, taking cardboard boxes to the Hall, setting up Meds, updating blog, daily sudoku, cleaning 3 Surface tablets, bills, etc.
  • Had a delicious lunch of leftovers including great guacamole.
  • Ordered my first drone, with a camera. It's a SYMA model X5C. A Facebook user said it's the most fun he had in all of 2014. Should be here in the first half of January.
  • Gloomy day, cloudy, light breeze, cool, temp: 68. But got my 2 3/4 miles bike ride in.
  • A drizzly wet evening held attendance down at the pot luck dinner - about 15 people - food was great, though.
  • Today I hit the jackpot. My daughter, Kathy, sent me a Christmas tree (see picture below), a University of Minnesota polo shirt, & sun screen lotion (for our trips to SPI). Thank you, Kath.

  • Haven't got the baubles put on the tree yet because I need to go buy some hangers. Kath - here's the picture you asked for.
  • And early tomorrow, I'll be sending 4 J&D mail envelopes to Kristina Meyers, 339 Tanglewood Lane, Blue Earth, MN 56013.
