Blog time 1945 sitting in den

Up at 0700 and head to Panera.  I was Panera’s first customer of new year.  Got coffee and bagel for me and just coffee for Nancy.  

Nancy did not want to go to church this morning.  I went by myself.  Church was nearly empty.  Pastor Bob gave a great New Year homily.

Drove straight home after church.  First project today was to read Grand Rapids Press.  It took only an hour.  I enjoy reading year end recaps of 2022 big stories.  

I did spend some time figuring out next week’s  schedule.  We have 12 days before we move into the new apartment.  

Today was another mild cloudy day.  No sun.  Temps in 30s. This afternoon took a 2 mile walk.  The streets were empty encountered no other walkers.

The Big Ten had bad football weekend.  Both UM and OSU lost.

Around 1400 Missy noted deer in backyard. I had not yet put out corn.  Ran downstairs and threw out ten ears.  Six deer fought for the cobs.

Today our Governor was sworn for her 2nd term.  For the first time in 40 years the Dems control both the State’s House and Senate.  The GOP has only itself to blame.  They ran a poor slate of candidates.

In the US House will GOP CA Rep Kevin McCarthy be the new speaker?  He has some competition.

For dinner tonight we continue to finish off our Christmas meal.  Maybe two meals left.

Tonight we watched “Glass Onion: A knives out Mystery”.  I gave it a B but Missy and Nancy gave it an A.

Debbie FaceTimed this evening.  We had a nice long talk.

A check of Courtyard before bed.  Temps above freezing.
