 Weekend Update for March 21, 2021

Saturday March 20, 2021

Up this morning at 0700.  Quickly dressed and walked to Panera.  The sun was up with not a cloud in the sky.  Temperature was 26 but will warm up later to 58.

Today is the Astronomical first day of Spring.

The temperature had risen 10 degrees when we left Panera.

At home Nancy started the laundry.

I loaded winter bike on Escape’s bike rack.  Drove to Ada Bike to get winter tires changed.

On way home stopped at D&W to get coleslaw for dinner tonight.

Took an easy 7.5 mile bike ride.  Great day for a ride.

Shaved and showered before lunch.

Continue filling bird feeders.  After I empty my current bag of seed I will stop feeding.  This year we have had a great selection of pretty birds.

Spent time in afternoon reading and writing.  Finished the afternoon with a nap.

Dinner tonight was a bowl of Creamed corn with Crab soup.  Almost as good as Cheap Charlies.

Tonight we watched Call the Midwifes followed by New Tricks.

FaceTimed with Debbie this evening.  Her long haul coronavirus kicked in today.  She was very fatigued.  I sure hope this condition will pass.  

Missy and AJ are having a good time in Turkey.  The seven hour time difference makes communications difficult.

Sunday March 21, 2021

Up this morning with 0630 alarm.  Quickly dressed and drove to Panera for coffee and croissant.  Fixed oatmeal to go with coffee and croissant. 

We left for Trinity Lutheran at 0845 in bright sun.  Disappointed that only about 40 folks were at the 0915 service.  Looked like most in attendance were old folks who had their shots.

As soon as we got home we made a quick change of clothes.  This afternoon we are attending a Brunch at the Moleski’s.  It starts at 1200.  

In addition to the Scott and Moleski couple,  Mary Namey and Tim Mask were also in attendance.  Food included cheese/crackers, sausage, ribs, salad and cheesecake for dessert.  We also had wine.  A good time.

At home Nancy took a 3 mile walk and I took a 1.5 mile walk.  Once again Nancy wins.

After the big lunch we did not have a prepared dinner.  I did have a cup of yogurt and cookie to tide me over.

Tonight we watched 60 Minutes followed by another episode on New Tricks.  I stayed up and watched Capitani.

Debbie FaceTimed this evening.  She is feeling better today.  She is still working with Violet’s manners.  A work in progress.

We keep getting photos and messages from Missy and AJ in Turkey.  They are having a great time.

Checked front yard at 2200.  Crescent moon still very visible.
