                Again, we wish you a good morning. I do not need to take Alex to school this morning as his friend is going to pick him up on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, I get him on Tuesday and Thursday. I need to ask him how he is doing in the ROTC target practice.

It was cold here again yesterday and I needed to get outside and water the flowers in the hot house but without any sun it would be cold and wet.

                The cleaning lady came to our house and has been cleaning each room. Also, the lady from health care (aka rehab) came to our house and showed us some of the exercises my favorite wife will need to be doing in order to recover.

                Lunch time came and the cleaning lady had brough her lunch and she started eating. I decided to go to the chicken salad place to get our lunch. After eating we were talking with the cleaning lady and we noted that we were from Missouri, so she asked what part of Missouri, and we said Cape. She was surprised and she said she was also from Cape. We talked about Missouri for a while then she got back to work. She did a really good job and will be back in 2 weeks.

                I did get outside and watered the flowers in the hot house. I had just started watering when I received a call from a neighbor who had some Chili for our supper. I stopped watering and headed into the house to receive free Texas style chili. Texas chili does not have beans in it. There were also some muffins, and supper was all good.

                No big plans for today I may go to get some groceries today and if it isn't too cold I might go to the shed and see if I can find some things.

                There will not be many Christmas presents here at the Ford house this year, we bought the gifts from Gabi's list, and we have not received any list for anyone else, so we will give money, and they can get what they want. I do need to go to the bank to check on a couple things next week, maybe I can get some money to use for gifts.

                I do have a photo of the Christmas tree that is in the Ford's ole homestead.

                Well, I think I will stop for now, we hope you have a good day and that we all stay safe in all we do.

Don the Ford

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