The first thing I noticed when I woke up was the sunrise out the back window. And no, it did not feel like morning ‘warning’! As I knew he would, my friend Tom posted the sunrise from his home, as well. He’s so faithful to his morning walks – as I am NOT these days!

Thanks for sharing, Tom.

Jeannette didn’t have much, but Rege and I had our weekly ‘meeting’ and solved the world’s problems! Well, not really. Who would listen to us? Went to Greensburg and there were a few projects to handle. Stopped at the bank to withdraw a little vacation money – so I could pay my share of the motels we booked.

I came home and did some in-house chores and binge-watched (actually listened to in the background) Home Town while I worked. I was really happy that the temperatures were so much warmer – right now it’s 43*! I’ll take it!

I left here at 5pm and met April, Liz and Joelyn at Applebees for dinner. Joelyn had to work a little later so we sat and chatted until she got there. I took a photo of April & Liz in the meantime, but then totally forgot about taking more pictures! We sat there until 8:30! It was so nice to visit and catch up. We are all at different places in our respective family dynamics and could share what was going on with each other. I liked hearing what was new at Smail Auto, and found out about weddings and babies and houses. We vowed not to wait so long until the next get-together!
