It was dark and gloomy when the alarm went off at 0626. The weather man said it would be sunny and windy today, but when I looked out the window it was appeared to be raining. I wanted to go kayaking but it was too windy. A bike ride might be ok but I was not in the mood. Perhaps a 30 minute swim. I decided that I needed some hot cakes and eggs to help me with my decision. I also bought a NYT. After breakfast it was raining and the wind was picking up. I got home put on my rain coat and went for a walk. Half way through my walk the sun came out. I walked 7 miles in 2h10m.
After a quick shower I asked Nancy what we should do this afternoon. We got in the Aztek and headed for Countryside Green House in Allendale. It was a pleasant drive. The green house was jammed. They had to have the police directing traffic into their facility. The selection was huge. Nancy purchased 4 hanging baskets. Because of frost warning tonight, we stored the baskets in the garage. All this shopping exhausted me so I took a short nap.
This evening Nancy and I dined at Russ'. We had a bowl of soup and a hamburger. For dessert we stopped at McDonald's and each got a hot fudge sundae. At Lowe's Nancy purchased some washed stones for her flower pots. This evening I finished the newspapers and watched a little TV. I got my name in the newspaper. The GR City Commission Minutes mentioned that I had been appointed to the Construction Code Board of Appeals.
