                It seems as if we are starting another morning here in Hewitt Texas, and with that in mind we will wish you a good morning.

Events performed yesterday: these events are not in any particular order. I took an electric heater to the greenhouse. I want to be ready for some very cold weather that the weather people have said is coming. I have the heater set to come on if it gets cold inside the greenhouse and I have a small light that will be on when the heater is on, which lets me know it is working.

                I have been out to the greenhouse twice this morning in the cold air. I am attempting to adjust the heater to come on and shut oof at the correct temperatures. While in the greenhouse this morning I observed a couple flowers blooming. The Christmas cactus is blooming and the bougainvillea.

Another thing that I was able to accomplish yesterday was to get some groceries early in the morning. When you go early there are not many shoppers, but there are a bunch of people stocking the shelves. I did get a couple filters for the furnace, and I have now installed said filter in the furnace.  

I got a call from a good friend who is going to be smoking some ribs and will give us some, Sunday afternoon. It is nice to have good neighbors who are also good friends. We will attempt to compensate them for the ribs.

Yesterday, my favorite wife got into a wheelchair, and she removed and put away some Christmas items. She wants to do a bunch of things, but they are not easy to do when in a wheelchair.  

I will not have our yard man here today as they are going to visit family members near Dallas Texas. Heck, it will probably be too cold for me to be outside working. You know old people don't like it to be too hot or too cold.

I have been considering what to do with my beard. I am not sure if I want the entire beard and if I want to have part of it removed. My favorite said go to the barber and let them trim it. I have decided that when I go back to the barber, I will not let the fellow cut my hair again. The last time I was there the male barber cut my hair, and he did not do as good as the female barbers.   

I did not do any vehicle shopping yesterday. I need to get started on this and decide on a vehicle that we like and then start negotiating. I do want to get the van cleaned and then either sell it or trade it. 

Well, I guess ai should stop for now, we hope you will have a good day and please stay safe in all you do.

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow.
