Blog time 1230 sitting in office

It has been over a month since my last blog.  We got back from Ca earlier this month.  

The weather in GR has been unseasonably warm.  I even rode my bike on several days.  

It took me several weeks to get caught up on paper work since our month in Ca.  January in Mi is noted for lack of sun but this February we have had a lot of sun.  

Spring must be early this year.  The robins and sand hill cranes are back.  The days are getting longer.  Tomorrow we will have 12 hours of daylight.

We woke up this morning to bright sun but the temp was a cold 14.  Following our normal Sat routine we drove to “The Gathering Place” for Breakfast.  Nancy had an omelette and toast.  I had oatmeal, egg and toast.  After a short ride we stopped at Panera for coffee.

It was such a nice day we also stopped at Breton Village.  Nancy bought a sweater and skirt at Talbots.  I bought a sweatshirt at Lululemon.  

As soon as we got home Nancy started the laundry.  I took a short walk before blogging.

Our week day schedule includes morning work out at MVP followed by coffee and scone at Panera.  Afternoons for me will include a short nap followed by a walk.  Nancy does some reading and she might accompany me on my walk.

Every weekday evening we attend Happy Hour usually followed by dinner in the dining room.  After we usually watch a show on Netflix, Acorn or BritBox.  After the show Nancy heads to bed and I finish the evening reading the WSJ on my laptop.

Blog time 1530 sitting in Debbie’s dining room.

Woke this morning to pleasant temperature and clear skies.  Checked temperature in GR and it was 10, 40 degrees colder than SJ.  

I start every morning taking Debbie’s dogs for a 1.2 mile walk.  Debbie lives in a nice SJ neighborhood called Willow Glen.

After the walk Nancy and I walk to Starbucks for our morning coffee and bakery treat.  The Starbucks is located on a busy road so we see a lot of folks grabbing a quick coffee on way to work.

My bike ride is after our Starbucks visit.  I have a standard route.  It is 9 miles and takes about an hour.

Spending January in Ca is a great way enjoy some sun and get out of cold.  Unfortunately we will depart Ca on Feb 4.
