Today took several unexpected turns – nothing distressing just not what I thought I would do. I had talked to Autmn about an afternoon visit but since she is currently staying with her mom she had to watch her little sister Josie for the afternoon. So hopefully next week we can put a day together to visit. I miss seeing my little family! She did send me some pictures.
I spent the morning doing in-house chores – like changing sheets and doing laundry and ironing and a little cleaning. Last night when I turned on the TV the fire stick wouldn’t work. This morning I tried switching the two fire sticks – one is upstairs, one is downstairs. No matter which TV or power plug I used the one fire stick did not work but the other one did. So I left the good one downstairs so I could watch TV down here. Then I started doing research and making phone calls. I decided to start at Walmart.
The guy there was super helpful and gave me lots of information and tips. I generally am not an impulse buyer, so I kept going and checked out Target. The clerk there looked a little familiar and from his name tag I thought I knew his dad – he was a Smail pilot back in the day. I asked him, and yes it was his son! So he gave me MORE information and the price (unlikely though it seems!) was less than Walmart! So I ended up getting the Roku. Good reviews. When Kelly & the boys come up on March 4th Logan can hook it up for me.
While I was at Target I walked around a bit, because I hadn’t been there for months. I saw something I never saw before: TUPPERWARE for sale in a retail market! Surprising.
I came home and took a walk, then got busy making cookies. I was determined to keep experimenting until I got puffy, soft Chocolate Chip Cookies. I think these will be good! I did add a bit more flour and cooked them less. They were perfect when I tasted a warm one but I’m not eating another one until after supper.
One little mishap – I cut my pinky finger, but not cutting vegetables! I sliced it on the Aluminum Foil box! A quick band-aid and it’s all good!
After the cookies were done I cut up the veggies, tossed them in Olive Oil and Sea Salt, and baked them for 45 minutes. They are cooling off now and then I’ll have my supper. I glanced out the kitchen door and saw the full moon bright and big.
TRIVIA: Wrap aluminum foil around the stems of your bananas to keep them from ripening too quickly. (I should do that!)

PEANUTS Thought for the Day:
TOMORROW February 25th is:
National Clam Chowder Day; Lets all Eat Right Day; National Billy Day; National Chocolate Covered Nut Day (Let’s head to Smicksburg — Donna’s store!!); National Jessica Day; People Power Revolution; National Kathy Day (Yea Kath!); Quiet Day; National Nicholas Day.
Tomorrow is also 10 months until Christmas Day – as per Bud. Can’t guarantee I’ll be quiet. That’s tough for me. I’ll try to eat right since I have my veggies and fruit (strawberries and apples and bananas). Happy Sunday and God bless…
