Jan 14th

Nice weather, another one in the mid 70's. Slower day for us today. Went for a bit of a drive and washed the car. Drove down to the area where Proulxs might be staying when they come next month, it's very nice. With the rain and blowing dust car needed washing, nothing like we have at home. Need to windex the windows as the water leaves nasty water marks here. Marg went grocery shopping on her own. After all these years of being married; in retirement she has discovered that she doesn't like grocery shopping with me. As it turns out that is not a bad thing! ;>) Stopped an optical shop and found some neat frames, will probably get some here. The neighbour from Chicago [Ted] was over for a while to BS. He is a major leaguer on this topic. As near as I can determine he was a truck driving pilot who worked as a paramedic, firefighter & taxi driver at the same time, has about 8 kids, 14 grandkids and 4 or 5 great grandkids and is on his second marriage, is in the middle of a major lawsuit and likes Canadian whiskey. LOL Chomiks called to say they are not coming until Wednesday next week, something about an antique car auction. Dinner was tacos and chili at the rec hall tonite, so we passed and had bbq steak instead. Marg made some fresh vegetables & baked potatoes, along with the shark [lager], very nice. Finished another duster, To Tame a Land [Louis Lamour], thanks Vanessa, you know what I like to read!
