Fear Not
Fear not we are going to have winter . . . just not right now. Any day such as this one is rare for the 19th of December. Windows were cracked on each end of the house today.
Today was a day that makes me very content and happy. I was cleaning in my home. It is a treat to sit back this late afternoon and know that it’s a good thing. I have been using Swiffers for some time on our laminate flooring. Nothing beats getting the fine dander from two older people than a vacuum. My score card is the bright sun setting in the west and having it shine across the living room floor. While all the vac equipment was out, Dennis took the hose outside our back door and vacuumed out the dryer vent. We aced the “local effort” today.
I got in a bit of reading time in the west porch and Dennis went to visit his friends at one of the apartment houses. There is only one unit in town that has a common area. Five or six can social distance and catch up on the news of the town. Dennis didn’t have much to report when he came home. No one is going anywhere and they had expected him to share the latest and greatest. Not today!
Dennis asked what I wanted for supper. I didn’t have to blink an eye. I am hungry for a cheese burger with fried onions and french fries. It has been months since I indulged in fast food. It’ll be easy on the kitchen tonight. I was thinking of going through the drive-through at McDonald’s. Dennis had a better idea . . . phoning in to the Eagles Club here in town and picking it up at their back door. I am sure they would appreciate the business rather than the conglomerate of McDonald’s. This will be a treat of a supper.
The forecast for the next week looks to be a continuation of this great weather. I like it a lot. To get this far into the winter season and not have to wear a heavy coat is fantastic. With shoulders and arms that are wanky when it comes to poking them into jackets that are bulky, I prefer wearing warm quilted vests. Time will tell when my luck runs out.
Enjoy! There is much to bring a smile. There is much to be thankful for and there is little that each of us needs to make this a great Christmas week coming up. Fear not . . . less is more.
