Winter Notes- Tuesday, January 9th. It's as if the Weather is doing maximum damage here.

 We may have had this one already----I can't quite see the tiny image screen.  Postcards from Provence.

Well, as they say......"some weather" we are getting this Winter... son is for sure not living here.... but he did make an appointment to get the Jeep inspected.. later this week.... so it will have a valid sticker on the window.  He also shoveled two exit points in case we need to get out of the house in an emergency.

Here in Maine having TWO cleared and easy to exit the house opportunities is a MUST.  My Lunch Buddy lives across the street from a veteran firefighter... House Number Two.  Having a two story home makes it even more tricky.  

Law and Order on BBC has started over from the beginning again... I love the older ones. Wide shoulder pads on the women and enormous hair. I think I wrote the same comment last time the old ones started ...

I went thru husband's word search puzzle books and the newer ones with just a few puzzles done- I tore finished ones out and will leave a few books at a time on the Library drop and share area in the vestibule.  The newest books hadn't been touched. And the pen marks got shakier and shakier as time went on. Some of the pages were quite chaotic.  Like a timeline...

I put out the recycling bin last night.  Filled to the top...I didn't put out a garbage bag as we didn't have enough to fill it and it's pay by bag so I only like to have a full bag.  I usually, in the old days, would walk around the house looking for stuff to put in the bag until it was full.....I am not that involved these days.

I am not really focused on anything these days.....just getting thru a day is a win.

I was going to bake a cake- but the two boxes of cake mix had expired use by dates...so I checked with the internet and...the mix was fine but the leavening ingredients weren't...so adding fresh baking powder would make everything okay...so do I or don't I????  Do I really want to have cake in the house?????
