Another Dusting

We had another dusting of snow yesterday.  With the brisk wind that we have, I would not care to be out on the highways.

Our household has settled in to a good routine.  Changing the furnace filter every month, should make the forced air furnace’s blowing a little cleaner.  That is up to debate here on Stauffer Avenue.

Dennis made his rounds this morning about the town.  He returned with very little news.  Dennis does a drive around and I check Sturm’s Funeral Home online.  No news on either front is good news.

Nephew Brett shared with Dennis the cost of some of his staples in our one and only grocery store.  High and going higher.  Brett also stocks up when in the big town.  Collier, the owner, clued Brett in on the rise in what pop is going to be in the next week or so.  I now know why Dennis’ root beer was not to be found in the store when we were there on Wednesday.  The entire selection was slim to none.  Selling down so when the shelves are restocked from his back storage room, it will be at the higher price.  Sneaking small town grocers thinking with small minds. 

If the weather next week is to be on the mild side, I would ride shotgun on a trip to Mankato.  I do want to pick up a box that Kevin’s recommended for keeping personal paperwork at Harbor Freight.  Grammie is due some retail therapy.  Pre-Christmas was the last trip.  Dennis mentioned that the three kitties using the litter box non-stop, he has a shopping list as well.

I did local effort this morning with the Swiffers.   A dusting is desirable outside as well as inside.  Dennis offered to make supper.  Fantastic.

With that I take my leave.  ♥
