Blog time 2140 sitting in living room.

The alarm goes off at 0530.  Today is Breakfast Club Wednesday.  Checked the weather and was surprised that it was a very mild 52.

Light sprinkle when headed out. Stopped at Biggby to get a coffee to take with me to BC.  It was pitch black and traffic was heavy.

Usually right after I park my car I take a walk around downtown. Not much pedestrian traffic in downtown at 0645.  I did note a homeless man sleeping in the middle of the sidewalk on Pearl Street.  Found out the man was sleeping on a steam line manhole.  The steam exhaust was warm.

Good crowd at BC this morning.  Most of BC members are men but today we had four potential female members.  That is a good sign. 

We had a great speaker from Home Repair Services.  He explained how they provide home services to low income home owners.  Good talk.

At home I did my normal Wednesday chores.  As soon as Nancy got home we drove to Lake Michigan CU.  I closed my small account.  Nancy got help in changing her password.

Dropped Nancy at home and then made a trip to Macatawa Bank to deposit the LMCU money and also to get my password updated.

Made a quick stop at Panera for coffee and a chance to read the newspapers.  Before heading home I bought bananas at Meijer’s.

It has been raining all day.  Nancy normally works at the Gardens on Wednesday but because of the rain she was told to stay home.  

I did a load of laundry.  Also took a short nap.

With all the rain our backyard is a quagmire.  I had trouble standing up when took ears of corn out for the deer.

Light dinner.

Watched new show on Acorn.  The Madam Blanc Mysteries.  I thought it was good.  Acorn has a good lineup of shows.

It was still raining when checked the Courtyard.  The temperature was in the 50s but will drop to near freezing by morning.
