Monday before we leave

Clean house, wash clothing, finish packing, check and recheck to see we have all, tie up loose ends.  What a busy day.

The good part is we met our family for one last dinner before we head south!

Sunday visits

We went to Denny's for breakfast.  Our server remembered our usual drink order.  Think we are going there too often?

Sheila came over for a visit after lunch and Brenda and Scott came over later in the afternoon.  In between I worked on getting stuff ready for winter in Florida and getting the house ready.

Again we had stuff from the freezer for dinner, it is almost empty now. 

Saturday at home

We got a lot done today, packing for our trip south!  It's a big job and I will probably forget something.  I just hope it is not something really important.  I got all the clothing folded and packed, that was a job in itself as we have to take stuff for the winter and a cruise.

Today we spent at home, even at dinner at home.  We are trying to get our refrigator and freezer empty as we will be turning it off.  In the evening we watched some TV and relaxed.

HyVee will miss us and us them.

We had breakfast at HyVee, one last time before we head south!  Then grocery shopping, we bought 3 items.  The store was probably concerned about us! 

It was back to HyVee in the evening for their good Chinese food.  We will miss that.

Holidays are over

It was a stay at home, get something done day.  We were putting the last of Christmas away, putting gifts to us away, etc.

I pulled the clothing we will take to Florida and for our cruise.  It was hard to decide what I will want to wear for the next 3+ months and what I will want on the cruise, but had to be done.  Now the packing----

We went to Panera for soup and salad.  Both our soup was just room temperature so we had to take it back for some hot soup.  I like hot things hot and cold things cold!  The place was busy.

Happy New Year 2020

Brenda came over in the morning to give us a couple things.  Sheila came in the afternoon and Brenda returned!  We had a good day of visiting - best way to spend New Years Day!

I made Don's favorite meal, tater tot casserole.  I had the ingredients that needed to be cleared from the freezer before our upcoming trip.
