Winter Notes- Friday December 29th- A Mouse, A Calendar and Groceries.

 Terrarium Building Kit.

I used to teach a class at the Greenhouse and we built Terrariums.  I think I have the glass bowl around here somewhere.  Very difficult to keep them alive. Everyone- me too- overwaters them.

I visited Staples and got a 2024 Desk Calendar and it is under my keyboard right now....  very smooth and new and each date block has the correct day number and lines for journal writing if I want- Or Book Lists.

3:15 and I needed to turn on the house lights.....

We got power back last night around 8:30.   Then Son went out and shut off the generator- he's getting to be quite good at it.  Husband was not.  I don't think he had the arm or shoulder strength to pull the thing that gets the generator going- we needed a push button starter.   We (son and I) continue the debate on the whole house generator.  Which I would need when he returns to California.  And I decide to remain in this house. 

 I was pretty sure I would (remain in this house)......but now I am not so sure.  Son is upstairs quite a bit so I am getting a very good "taste" of living alone.......and I might not want to live Alone in the Woods.  But I might be okay with a Cottage Community and a generator.  Depends on the neighborhood.  And the Neighbors.

Some Communities are quite snotty and like to play Bridge.  I can do Snotty but never have understood Bridge.
