Blog time 1717 sitting in office

Woke up early this morning, 0650.  Today is breakfast at the “Gathering Place” day.  We arrived just before 0800 and the place was empty.  We had our standard fare.  Good as usual.  The place was full when we left at 0900.

We took a drive through Ada to see how progress is coming on the new Village.  A hotel, apartments and several new buildings are nearing completion.

On way home we stopped at Meijer’s for laundry soap.  Ended up buying groceries for next week.

Finished the morning getting coffee and croissant at Panera. At home, Nancy started the laundry.  I went on a 10 mile bike ride.

Great day for a ride.  Sun and low 70s with fall colors just starting.

Nancy had a big laundry today.  She was just finishing up when I got home.

Nancy received a birthday fruit basket from Steve and Veronica.  Tonight we are celebrating Nancy’s birthday with dinner at “BoneFish Grill”.

I took a short nap before dinner.  Our reservations were for 1800.  We arrived on time and were seated immediately.  The place was jammed.  Nancy had shrimp and I had rainbow trout with coleslaw and mashed potatoes.  Very good.  For dessert we each had a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Tonight we watched “Who is Erin Carter” on Netflix.  The jury is still out.

It is now 2130.  Nancy is in bed and after I post this blog I will read the WSJ.
