  • Overnight low was 47 from yesterday's high of 46. Today's high to be 54, nearly 10 degrees higher than yesterday.
  • Daybreak temp: 45 (feels cool), light mist, light breeze.
  • Loafed the morning away.
  • After lunch, Diane is taking Jim for his first physical therapy (PT) session, while I meet the deliverers of the new couch & show them where to put it.
  • Jim's PT meeting went well. He starts the actual PT next Monday, then Wednesday, & Friday.
  • Couch delivery was uneventful. Diane's seems pleased with it. It's a queen sized hide-a-bed.
  • Jim & Diane are going to Pharr South to play Bingo this evening. Guess I won't go.
  • Kathy sent me a link to the Citrus Bowl video of the University of Minnesota Marching Band. Thanks, Kath, the videos are great. 
  • I'll include the links below:

  • Kath, can you add a comment on where Connor is in this picture, and where you, Cam, & Kyla were sitting in the picture. Thanks.

  • Another blustery, cold morning, but at least it's not pouring down rain. Oh well, it will warm up. . . but when?
  • And I lived up to my goal of falling asleep before midnight. Can't remember the last time I saw midnight.
  • Kathy & family are in the air, in route to Orlando, Florida, to attend the festivities at the Citrus Bowl where the University of Minnesota is playing football, at noon on ABC. Have a great day, Kathy, Kyla, & Cam.
  • Jim & I helped to clean up the remains of last night's party in the Hall.
  • Came home to watch the Rose Parade on TV. Have been there live on 2 different occasions. Most exciting parade ever!
  • Citrus Bowl started with 3 turnovers, now Minnesota has settled down & is looking good.
  • Ugh. Mizzou just took the lead.
  • It's time to take the lead back, guys.
  • Which they did, but just couldn't keep it together and ended up losing. Bummer. :-(
  • Should would have been better if the scores were reversed.
  • Diane made a delicious crackpot of Chili & had Dan, Candy & Jason over. I'm not a Chili fan, but this was very good.
  • Below is a picture taken by Dawn of Theresa's brother, Joe & his wife, Linda, with Dan & I. We visited them last Friday on our way home from South Padre Island. See Friday's post in this blog.
  • And below is another picture of interest. Who knows where this is taken?

  • Another beautiful morning, high clouds, breezy, warm, temp: 66, high: 81.
  • While the women went shopping, Jim & I napped. 
  • With perfect weather: mostly sunny, breezy, temp: 80, I went on a 2 1/4 mile bike ride.
  • Later, my daughter, Kathy, called to bring me up to date on her family news. Notable their family plans for the Citrus Bowl where they all want to go if they can find reasonable transportation costs. Connor will be going with the University of Minnesota Marching Band. Hope to see  him on TV at halftime. Thanks Kath for calling.
  • Had a hotdog supper at the Hall prior to the night's movie.
  • Movie was very good: Gimme Shelter. If you haven't seen it, do.
  • Since we all went to Bingo last night, I thought a couple of pictures of the Bingo hall might be appreciated.
