Thursday

 We had a fun day today.  We went to Harmony House to purchase a tomato plant and some flowers for our balcony.  We found a Big Boy tomato plant and some beautiful geraniums and a sweet potato vine for our flowers...unfortunately they didn't have any flower pots already planted so we had to just buy the plants.  Then we went to Fleet & Farm to purchase some dirt and a couple of pots for our plants.  

Since we were out, we went to Big Woods Lake for our walk.  We were only going to walk part-way around the lake, but we got to walking and Dave thought we were over halfway around so we might as well just finish walking around the lake...so we did.  It was farther than we thought back to the car!  We weren't halfway at all.  By the time we finished, we walked 2.7 miles.  We're used to walking 2 miles,  but add on that extra .7 mile and it's a LONG walk.  

After getting home and resting a bit, we planted our plants.  By then we headed down to Liars' Club.  There weren't many there today, but it was still fun.  This evening Dave had a Board meeting, so I just hung out!

Wednesday

 I had a lazy morning - I didn't even get my shower taken until after 11:00.  Once I got ready for the day, though, I accomplished a lot.  I did a bunch of paperwork and now I'm ready to reconcile bank accounts.  Dave went to Bryan's to mow so that left me on my own.  I even opened the balcony door for over an hour today. 

We walked the cemetery today.  We actually walked the whole route so we got in our two miles.  It was a great day to walk - not too hot and not too cold!  I walked in shorts and a short-sleeved shirt.  It was just a perfect day for walking!  When we got back from our walk, it was almost time for Liars' Club.  I think there were 5 ladies and 4 men...at one point there were 4 men and me!!

Tuesday

 Another cold day here.  We didn't walk because it was just too cold.  We have become so spoiled by living in Florida.  

We finished cleaning the house today and I made chili soup.  Our condo smelled so good all day with the chili cooking in the crockpot.  

Dave went mushroom hunting this afternoon.  He found 7 nice ones so he'll get to have at least one meal of mushrooms.  We finally had a bit of rain this weekend.  If we'd just have rain AND heat, there might be tons of morels!

Monday

 We got a bunch of little things done off our to-do lists.  Then I started cleaning the condo.  After 5 months of no one living here, there's plenty of dust to be cleaned up.  I ran the vacuum in 3 rooms and dusted all of them, too.  Dave was working in the building with the other HOA board members.  

After lunch we had appointments to see our chiropractor and then we took naps.  Dave went to Liars' Club while I slept.  Tomorrow's another day to clean the rest of the house.  It was too cold to walk today!

Sunday

 Dave and I worked around here after church services online.  I tried to get my crafts put away and organized.  I'm almost done with that.  I've got a bunch of paperwork to do, but that isn't a priority for me.  I'll get it done this week probably.

We took a walk today - these hills are something!  When you're used to walking in Florida then try walking around here, it's really different.  I thought the walk up to the cemetery was going to kill me.  It certainly gave my heart a good workout!  We stopped on the way up the hill to visit with a lady who was out...seems she's originally from Ottumwa and is Al Schmidt's sister-in-law.  Al is someone we worked with at Indian Hills.  It's a small world!  Then coming home, we got to visit with my friend, Connie - the one with the 4 little dogs.  She had Kirby out and I got some doggy loving!

This evening we went to Bryan's for supper.  It was so great seeing Aidan and Kaitlyn!  I got lots of snuggles with Kaitlyn.  She's just a little doll.

Saturday

 Oh my gosh, it is cold here today!  Dave and I ran errands late this morning and I thought I would freeze!  Dave told me we wouldn't be outside much so I should be okay without a jacket as long as I wore a long-sleeved shirt...well, he was wrong!  

When we got home, I put on a sweatshirt - over my long-sleeved shirt.  I also had on jeans, and socks with my tennies.
