                Good morning.

                After getting the day started properly for my favorite wife yesterday morning, I took some time thinking about what I would, or should do. There were a few decorations in the front yard that needed to be removed. There was a large tote in the garage which had Christmas decorations in and on it and it needed to go to the shed. The manger needed to be taken apart and the display in it needed to go to the shed. There were three or four large cartons in the back of the Ford's ole Chevy that had items like extension cards in them and they needed to go to the shed.

                I had discussed with my favorite wife the possibility that I should get Alex to come over to help with all that work. I picked him up at about 12:00 noon yesterday.

                I had to move a lot of items out of the shed and then we brought the items from the front yard and garage to the shed. It took us a while, but we did get everything in place and the shed is full.

                Alex did vacuum a bunch of leaves that were near the Garage door. We have discussed the possibility of removing wire weeds from the yard if it rains. When the ground is wet the weeds and roots are easier to remove. Wire weeds is an on your knees job and it isn't easy work.

                Plans for today: I need to go to the store and get a couple items like cereal and some vitamin D and other items. I might try a different store today as I need some dog treats that my favorite wife says can be found at the other store.

                Different subject: and ole saying goes like this, "there is a first time for everything", and I believe I have experienced a first time this morning. Now in truth, my ole memory can forget some past events while remembering others, but I feel reasonably sure that I would have remembered this event if it had happened in the past. This morning, I was in the bathroom, and I was brushing my teeth, yes, some ole people do have teeth. The toothbrush was covered with toothpaste and my teeth, including all my mouth had the tooth past foam in it. I might have been halfway done with the brushing of my teeth when suddenly I needed to sneeze. Now I usually sneeze three times but this time there were 4 sneezes. Imagine, your mouth full of tooth past foam and you start sneezing.

Well, I will stop for now and wish you a happy day and that we all stay safe in all we do.

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