Brrrrrrrrr

I’m sure part of my problem is having been sweltering in southern California for the past three months, but it is damn cold around here. It has been getting down into the upper 20s at night which is what we might expect in the dead of winter. But rain and clouds are on the way so it will be wetter, but more importantly, It will be warmer.

I have been sewing for a while each day and spending some time just catching up on housework and shopping. Ken has washed the motor home, put the garden to bed, and yesterday he went shopping for a new scanner.

The first attempt was an HP all-in-one scanner, printer, copier, fax, etc., but its design made it too high on the computer table for me to be able to see all the buttons, so now we have just a scanner that doesn’t have any buttons! Its seems I have become more aware of my height (or lack thereof) over the past year and am amazed at how many places are out of reach for me. I realized tonight that the kitchen countertop is above my waist!!

Ken is going to go to Spokane this week end to get a canoe that his brother, Jerry, is giving him, and then he will get out to see the Jaynes and the Spragues. Rod and Karen are our traveling partners for our trip south this winter so we need to agree on where we are going. As soon as he gets home, I’ll head for Spokane.

We are having one of Ken’s high school classmates and her husband Anita (Kanzler) and Larry Foster here for dinner on Friday night. We visited with them at their high school reunion this summer and found that they live in Centralia which is only about 40 miles away. It is fun to reconnect with folks from our ‘growing-up’ years now that we are all grown up.

Well this isn’t exactly a billet-doux, but then that wouldn’t exactly be appropriate would it? Ciao
