Happy New Year!

 The project for today was to clean the refrigator.  It turned out to be a bigger project than I anticipated.  In order to get one of the drawers out we had to take two shelves out (because the door is blocked from opening all the way).  It was really dirty under the drawers and took some scrubbing and then the process of putting it back together.  Glad Don was helping me.  I did pull a muscle in my side trying to reach some of the mess.  We also got rid of a few items of food in the process.

In the afternoon I worked on understanding my new security cameras.  Now to get them set up and ready to do their thing!

We got salads from Panera for dinner and then watched "Hamilton".  It is a long show and we have not had that amount of time before.  In the middle of the show our electricity went out and came right back on.  So the internet had to reset and we had clocks to reset.  The movie started up right from where it left off thankfully.

After the show we had some shrimp and cheese along with wine and watched the new year being ushered into our lives.  Got to bed about 12:30.

Snow plowed

 By 7AM this morning the streets, driveways, sidewalks and porches were cleared of snow.  Good job snow plow people!  

Today was shower cleaning day, it had been a while so the soap scum was built up.  I got the doors done and one wall and decided I needed a rest.  Don was good to take over and finish the job.  I got the new Christmas card pictures on the refrigator and straightened the magnets, etc.  Right after lunch Don went back to the DMV to get the trailer license tabs.  The line was not as long as yesterday so he waited.  He was home in about 40 minutes with the tabs.

For dinner we had boneless barbecue chicken wings and then we watched a movie on Netflix in the evening."Saving Mr. Banks".

Errands in the AM, Snow in the PM

 We had 5 errands to run today, got 4 done.  The fifth was to get the license tabs for our trailer which is in Florida.  When we got to the DMV the line was out the door, through the parking lot almost to the street.  We will try another day or send it in the mail.  Florida requires that anything with wheels on it has a current registration.  

We did get to Fleet Farm, Aldes, Cub Foods and our bank.  We were anxious to get all this done before the forecast snowfall in the afternoon.  About 2 PM it did start snowing and snowed into the evening, about 4 to 6 inches.  Right after we went to bed I could hear the plows clearing our street.

Today is our grandson's 25th birthday!.

We had frozen pot pies for dinner and then watched the movie "Prom" on TV.

Getting stuff done

 Now that the Christmas tree and other Christmas decorations are down we did a good job cleaning the house.  Don moved the living room furniture and vacuumed underneath.  I polished the living room stands and the things we put out and mirrors, etc.  Took most of the morning but good to have done.

For some reason my right knee is stiff and sore.  Super hurts to stand up.  All I need along with my sore left foot.

We finally started reading the Sunday newspapers but only got about half done.  In the evening we watched the last two episodes of High Seas.

For dinner we picked up steak with au gratin potatoes, salad and French bread.  Was a good change of pace for us.

Getting back to normal or whatever

 We took down the Christmas tree and other Christmas decorations.  It always seems a bit soon but we have to now get things done and together for our trip to Florida next week.  We got tired before actually getting it all done, there is always tomorrow.

Also looked again at our great gifts from our family.  Put things away and decided what would go to Florida.  

We had some fish from the freezer for dinner along with salad and Texas toast.  Too tired to even read the Sunday Newspaper so watched the last two episodes of The Crown.

My great-niece is still missing - almost two years.

Saturday after

 A day to rest up from all the Christmas celebrating!  And that is about all we did!!!

We had ham and baked potatoes for dinner and watched some TV in the evening.
