Blog time 1700 sitting in office

Up this morning at 0700.  I did some reduced calisthenics before heading to Panera.  Today I purchased our coffees and a bowl of oatmeal and croissant for me.  Ate breakfast at home.

Nancy did laundry

With snow on walks I decided to take my winter bike with studded tires.  No traffic on the bike path the morning.  With the new snow noted a lot of deer tracks.

At home showered and shaved.

Spent time in office reading.  Also paid the last installment on our anticipated 2020 tax .

Lunch and then Bob and Nancy took a pleasant ride through rural Kent and Ionia Counties.  Today’s route:

Headed north on Honey Creek Ave to Cannonsburg. 

Then east on 5 mile to the Village of Smyrna.

 South over the historic wooden Whites Road bridge over the Flat River.

Continued south to Lowell and then east on Grand River Drive to home.

Once again Nancy and Bob enjoyed a pleasant ride through rural Michigan.  We both agreed why haven’t we made these rides earlier.  It took the coronavirus to get us taking road trips.

We got a sad FaceTime post from Missy.  Missy and AJ were in their Vet’s office.  Missy was holding their dog, Cookie.  Old age has taken its toll on Cookie.  She is being put down.  Nancy and I can relate and just hope everything goes well.  They made the right decision.  God Bless Cookie. 

For dinner tonight we had chicken noodle soup with dinner rolls and coleslaw.  Very good.

For our viewing tonight we watched episode 2 of Virgin River.  Next we watched an episode of Whitechapel.  Whitechapel is getting gruesome.  

Debbie FaceTimed this evening.  We had a long talk about our Christmas.  Debbie like Bob and Nancy stayed home.  We all agreed that 2021 will be better.

Temperature in high 20s when checked the front yard at 2200.
