Happy Halloween!

 We didn't have any Trick or Treaters at our door.  This is the first time we have been home on Halloween so I don't know if there are just not any kids around or if they are staying home because of covet 19.  Anyway we have some little candy bars for ourselves!

For dinner we stayed home and had some salmon that we had purchased yesterday.  It was all ready to bake in the oven so not a difficult meal.  Watched some TV and turned our clocks back an hour for the end of Daylight Savings Time.  So it will be light in the morning when we get up but dark early, around 5PM.  I would vote to keep DST all year around. 

Bagels, hamburgers and frozen custard!

 We had bagels at Panera for breakfast and then went to HyVee for groceries.  The had 10% off everything today so we bought a few extra things!  I expected a big crowd but there was the usual amount of people.  

Politics is still taking over the TV, I as well as most everyone else will be glad when it is over.  The news people are saying there may be rioting and protests depending on who wins the presidency.  How sad, one of the foundations of the U.S. is a peaceful transition on power.

We went to Culvers for a hamburger for dinner and had a dish of their chocolate almond frozen custard with salted caramel and pecans on top.  Really good!

IKEA

 Today we went to IKEA!  We hadn't been there for almost a year due to the covid 19.  They had taken the time they were closed to change things around.  Lots of new displays and a new path through the store.  We bought Unicef Christmas cards, a plastic plant for a vase I have, a spatula, Sylt Lincon (jam), ground coffee and cookies.  

There were not too many people there so we could distance ourselves, everyone had masks on.

In the evening we had leftover tater tot casserole and some pie Don bought at Walmart.

Potato pancakes and Tater Tot casserole

We went to Perkins for their great potato pancakes then to Walmart for a few things.  

I made Don's favorite meal for dinner - Tater Tot casserole. 

 

Insurance - time to pick a policy for next year

 We had a quick change of plans for today as a representative from a insurance company was coming today to talk about his policy.  We had somewhat checked into the policy so had questions for him.  It looks like we may be changing policies.

We picked up tacos for dinner and watched some TV.

Pecan Waffles

 Once again my hated Monday.  It is my day to clean the house.  About half the job is picking up stuff and putting it where it belongs!  I guess cleaning the house is better than Monday's I had to go to work before I retired.

It is a cold day, I didn't even stick my nose out.  No snow for a change.  This week's weather is suppose to warm up to normal 50 degrees on Saturday, I don't believe it.

We had waffles for dinner.  We put in some pecans that we had purchased at Fleet Farm yesterday. (Still wasn't as good as Waffle House pe-can waffles.)  Then we watched some TV that we had recorded.
