Travel
I took a little drive this morning to explore the area over by the Connecticut line. The road was hilly and very winding. At one point I had to brake very hard because I didn't realize how sharp the curve was. When I was through it I said (out loud), "gee, why in the hell don't they mark that - it's dangerous". About that time I came to another giant curve and said "They did mark it, read the signs, Marty". I had to laugh at myself - I used to talk to Lady about these sorts of things but now I just have to talk to myself!
It is difficult to keep my eye on the road - I like to look at the houses, yards, farms, etc. along the way, and try to imagine living there.
I didn't stop to take any pictures as the trees are still bare, with the exception of willows. I was busy looking at the woods and the mountains - not really high mountains as you would find further west, but mountains all the same and very beautiful in profile.
I'm going to work on the next puzzle for a little while - a 1000 piece puzzle of a collage of Coca Cola ads. I haven't had a Coke in over 40 years, but I bet the ads get to a lot of folks and makes them want a Coca Cola.
- Just A Normal Day
I drove out to get milk and a couple of other items I forgot yesterday, and decided to take some pictures of the creek - it runs behind the houses across the road, but I got the photo from the small bridge on the way out to the main road. I wish...
- Rain, All Day
It's a dreary day and I don't feel like going anywhere, so I haven't. I love the treadmill the more I use it (never thought that would happen) and I've managed to do some walking just about every day since I've been here. We...

Gotta be careful today! I was ready to leave the house to go to the library and then to the gym, and decided to hit the bathroom before leaving. Lo and behold! I realized I put my sweat pants on backwards this morning, with the drawstring...
- Roof Repair
Even as I write this my roof is being repaired. Mark arrived a few minutes before 10 am, just as he had promised. The noise from whatever he's doing is so much more pronounced than if he was walking and working on a regular type roof rather...
- Just Relaxing
I haven't done much of anything the past two days since I opened up that jigsaw puzzle box. I need to go to Target but decided it would be less crowded on Monday, so I'm putting it off until tomorrow. This represents two days of work...
