Winter Notes- Sunday, January 14th. 36 degrees and Sunshine.

 Sally Muir's A Dog A Day.  Paintings.

We had Wind yesterday and further south from us- major flooding with some wharf's going out to Sea. We, Son and I watched the Browns game but don't "do" Peacock so didn't see the second game. I am always perplexed by the playoff games being not very good.  Boring, even.  And often this then moves on to the Super Bowl being less than Super.

I finished  Good Fortune and am considering buying the book for my Pride and Prejudice Collection. 

The book I am reading now is about Financial Traders.  It's very very well written but.....I just do not care for either the lead woman or the lead man.  Which pains me, as, I haven't read a book like this one in a long long time.... but I am done with it..on page 115.  I read the ending...I had no idea we were getting into Trump politics but it went there... so I'm done.  Title is Everything's Fine by Cecilia Rabess.

I baked my Sweet Potatoes and ate both of them with butter, salt and Swiss Cheese.  Melted the cheese in the just out of the oven potatoes.  It sounds weird but it's really fantastic.  Sweet, Cheesy, Melty.

Today we are having Football Pizza.  Yesterday, when we could not watch the Kansas City game because it's "streaming" on Peacock.....(which had to be explained to me)....the Super Bowl is also being streamed on Peacock.  So you can watch it on your iphone or laptop....sounds delightful (not).... pretty soon people and their iPhones will be ONE.    I won't be joining in the fun.

I forgot to take my morning pills again yesterday.  I have my pills in the pill dispenser husband used- has the days on each little section of the container...for some reason I remembered when they were in bottles but not when they are in Sunday, Monday etc snap open dispenser.  I remembered today but noticed yesterday's pills still in the Saturday space.

Son unpacked his last box- a Large Kitchen Box.  We found places for everything and there is even a Coffee Maker.  I had one long ago.  And liked it.  I even had freshly ground locally roasted  beans that I used to make coffee.  I am tempted to forgo the "instant coffee" and actually brew coffee.  Husband had a Keurig and candy flavored coffee pods....ICK.  That is going to Goodwill.  Right now I have a jar of instant decaf...  very very boring....I also have a collection of French Presses in the cupboard...because i liked that at one time also with the locally roasted beans.....(now being sold at my grocery store).

I seem to move thru things- slowly but always changing...letting things go and keeping other things way to long.  So it's a process.  I got an invitation (advertisement) to visit a community of small homes for those of us "living alone now in retirement"...... It's down by Portland, Maine...the "big" city of Maine.  Odd that it arrives the same ..week we have discussions of me living somewhere managed and smaller.

or perhaps not odd at all.
