January 5, 2025

            Good warm morning to everyone, yes, even you get a good morning. As I stated it is warm outside but the prediction is for very cold weather starting this afternoon and going on during the week.

            What we did yesterday; I picked Alex up about 9:00am and we went to the coffee place for a cup, then we headed to the Fords' Homestead. Arriving back at home Alex went to the shed and got the ladder and brought it to the house where he removed the lights from along the roof and then around all the flower beds.

Once the lights had been removed and marked, (they were marked so we would know which one to put up first, second and third, next year), we dismantled the manger. Now I took it apart and there were 4 pieces, "top, back and two sides". We then used battery powered drills to remove the screws. I should note the screws were mostly ole screws that had been used before, and many of the heads were stripped, making it very difficult to remove the screws. We put the usable wood on the ole wagon, and the unusable wood int the trash can. Alex did use the hand saw to cut a couple boards into smaller pieces for the trash can.

Work completed we put the tools away, washed up and then headed into Waco for lunch. the prices of the sandwiches have changed but the sandwiches were good. We did stop at the cheap store but did not purchase anything, then we dropped Alex off at home.

We were on the way to our house when we received a call from Dave asking if we could pick them up at the tire store. They had found that one of their tires had a problem so they decided to replace the tires on their vehicle. We drove back in to Waco and picked Dave and Claire up from the tire shop, and took them home.

Back at my home I took a well-deserved nap.

About 3:30 Dave called and wanted me to take them back into Waco to the tire shop to get their vehicle. I drove them back into Waco to the tire shop and dropped them off and I returned to my home.

As you can see, yesterday was another nothing to do day.

Today's plans: cover the water faucet out back, maybe go to lunch, take a nap or two, sit around and complain about nothing being on TV.

Well, we hope you have an interesting and fun day, please be nice to old people and that other person, you know who I am referring too, then be safe in all you do.

Cold coming.

Senior ole person who don't like the cold weather, Don the Ford

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