When I was growing up here in Southwest Idaho, it seemed that November was the month of rain and wind, frost and snow, mud and bleak skies.
Not this year. One day after another the sky has been blue, the sun warm, and my dog Rusty squirming for a walk. We didn’t take a walk today, but yesterday we walked an hour, and we’ve walked 45-50 minutes four out of the past five days. Rusty is learning to take the leash much better, but she sometimes jerks me off balance by pouncing to an interesting tree or fence with a dog behind it. Not as bad as it used to be…
My bro Dave and his wife Miriam are in College Place for Grandparents’ Day at Clara Rogers Elementary School. Says he’s been there every year since Matthew started attending, and I think that was three or four years ago.
Instead of walking for an hour, Rusty and I took the car to Costco to get my thyroid prescription refilled. While there I had a piece of cheese pizza and a vanilla frozen yogurt treat. Total cost was about $3.50. Total calories, too many.
Looks like we’ll have a very merry Christmas this year. All of Dave’s kids will converge on Arline’s place. Christmas is on Thursday, so I will probably drive up Wednesday afternoon or Thursday morning and stay until Friday afternoon. Or maybe I’ll stay through the week end. I bought all my Christmas presents at Carol’s ranch! I just need $$ to pay for them.
More to the point, I just need to get to work to get $$$ coming in!
