Blog time 1205 at Panera

Up this morning at 0700.  Looked outside and saw our sidewalk was being shoveled.  Asked the young lady doing the shoveling how much snow we had overnight.  She said about 1.5” and it was wet and heavy.  The temperature was 32.

Today is George Washington’s Birthday.  As everyone know George Washington was the leader of the Continental Army that defeated the British Army and gained USA independence from Britain.  George Washington was also our first President.  A great USA Patriot.  

Light calisthenics at home before a breakfast of oatmeal and banana.  Nancy headed out to Woodland Mall at 0800 for her morning walk.  

Drove to the Y.  The roads had been cleared.  Noted melt water along the road’s shoulder.

The Y slowly is having more folks attend.  The body pump class is very popular and well attended.

Calisthenics, 20 minutes stationary bike ride and a mile walk before showering.  Left for Panera at 1100.

This and that:

Came across a new word today when reading the UK paper “The Telegraph”.  It is called “Curtain-twitchers”.  The curtain-twitchers attack folks who do not comply with COVID lockdown rules.  The C-t attacked Prince Charles for visiting his 99 year old father in the hospital.  Come on folk just a little common sense.  Visiting a elderly parent in a hospital is permitted.

Texas is getting back to normal.  A lot of News folks are having a hissy fit at Texans.  Come on folks this was a once in a life time event.

The thaw has begun in GR.  All day temps at freezing or above.  

At home I had a quick lunch and then ran errands.  

Picked up laundry.  

Stopped at Ace Hardware and bought a 25# bag of deicing salt.  

Drove to Mr Thang tailors on Giddings to get a pair of pants shortened.

No nap today.  Spent afternoon working on taxes.  We have most of our tax information filed and ready to take to accountants.

For dinner tonight Nancy fixed me a bowl of Creamed Corn with Crab soup.  Almost as good as Cheap Charlies.  

We watched the news.  This evening after a long absence we watched an episode of Hanna on Netflix.  It was good will have to finish series this week.

FaceTime conversations with both Debbie and Missy this evening.  The temp was 32 at 2200.  Our front walk was icy so I salted it.
