• Another pleasant morning, calm, high clouds, temp: 55, high: 72.
• Had regular Monday breakfast with Canadian friends at Taco Fiesta. Had 11 this morning.
• Dan & Dawn made it to Reno this morning. I tracked them all the way through the mountains. Amtrak was on schedule. Hope they send me more pictures today.
• J&D and C&D drove up to Bertha's Salon to get their haircuts. I stayed home to research a project since I had one recently.
• Biked over to Dollar General to get something, stopping at Burger King on my way home for lunch
• I drove Jim to PT at 3 PM
• Got my 2 mile bike ride in at 4:30 on a lovely evening: clear, calm, bright sun, temp: 68. Perfecto!
• Here's some pictures from Dan sent from Reno. Thanks for the pictures, Dan & Dawn. Say hello from us to Mike & Mary.

Don't know who this belongs to nor the significance

• 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.
