Greetings, gang.
47 going to 50 for a while then dropping to the low 40s by lunch time. When it drops below freezing tonight it won't be back at least until sometime next week.
Got the plastic up around the windows after a brief delay to replace one of the plastic sheets. A trip to Menards and Walmart revealed that a surprising number of people are out and about spending money. Both stores were much busier than usual. I also stopped at Hobby Lobby, Marshall's and a grocery store.
Last week I ordered some new sofa pillows in a color that complemented my redecorating. What arrived yesterday were sofa pillow covers. Went back to the web site and sure enough I had misread the description. Fortunately the covers were the correct size and all is well. New curtains for the front door arrive today. Also yesterday I realized that the concert is next Monday. At least I didn't have to drive a half hour to the school to discover that.
Another weird dream last night. Going to Chicago with my daughter-in-law and stopped in Des Moines for dinner. Took excessively long for food to arrive so we walked out and decided to go visit my grandson and his wife. Instead of getting the address from my DIL who phoned him she tried to relay turn by turn directions. Called my grandson and got the street address (222 Riverside) Wound up following my gps through a field instead of following the road which would have taken us right to the house. On the way my DIL informed me that my grandson's wife would not be there but another woman would be. Seems the two ladies were taking turns living with him. We got to his house which was in a grassy field with a few other very small houses that were available for rent. The whole area was surrounded by trees and the river was nearby also and could be seen through the trees. Then his wife came out of the house and hugged me (never did find who the other woman was). That's when I woke up.
Gas down some more this morning - $2.69
All stay safe.
