Monday, January 1st, 2018…... HAPPY NEW YEAR! As I
mentioned in my last blog, I didn’t think we would stay up and make it to
midnight. Well, I was right! We watched
the ball drop in New York and stayed up a bit longer and then crashed for the
night. I had gotten a call earlier from my sister saying that the fireworks
were starting early over in her neighborhood.
So I went over and got Quincy who is a very nervous doggie around loud
noises. We only had a few early shots off in the distance so it would be better here. We did get to sleep but Lydia had achy legs and so she got up and took some melatonin and had some sleepy time tea. Quincy sat with her through a lot of the
fireworks and with Lydia petting her it wasn’t too bad. She settled down and Lydia did too and
managed to get to bed and get some sleep.
So all was good. I did get up early this morning and get going. I took
Quincy out for her walk. It was only chilly at 43º so I didn’t have to bundle
up. Then I came in and watched the parade I had taping. I don’t know why but it
was weird watching the Rose Parade from Oregon. We have always watched Bob
Eubanks & Stephanie Edwards on KTLA back home. Channel 5 is not available out of the LA area
(plus Bob and Stephanie are retired) so we watched the ABC feed. Not the same! After
the parade I turned to the bowl games.
Lydia always makes chili and cornbread on New Years Day and today was no
exception. Penny came over and we had a
nice dinner and day. So, that was it - we just relaxed and enjoyed our day.
Hope yours was fun too. Happy New Year
to All!
Tuesday, January 2nd, 2018…...
I started off this morning with a bummer! My truck wouldn't start. I knew the truck battery was getting close to needing to be
replaced and today was the day! I took
it out and put it into the back of the Honda only to find that the Honda
wouldn’t start either! We haven’t driven it in a while so I’m going to just
charge it and hope for the best. I went and got coffee and then went to Walmart
and got a battery. I also had to buy another ink cartridge for my printer so I
got that as well. I stopped by the dentist on the way home and made an
appointment for exam/xrays/cleaning. I have a $100 off coupon at home for this
dentist. Well, I went home and found it only to see it expired 12/31. I’m
hoping they will honor it. We’ll see.
Meanwhile, Lydia had a nice long conversation with Treasa, learning about their
new life and their new home in Springboro, Ohio. She says it’s really cold there right now, with
temps in the teens, plus they have snow.
We are cold here too but not freezing every day and no snow yet.
