Monday -January 7, 2008

Sometime during the night, probably around 4 a.m, the wind picked up and it actually rained for a couple of minutes. The curbside awning did a fair bit of moving around but not enough for me to wake up John to go out and put it up. He was up about 1:30 with an upset stomach and took a gravol so when it got windy etc. he was out like a light. Meanwhile I woke up at 1:30 when he got up and was still awake at 4, somehow that isn’t fair.

This morning was overcast and cool and I didn’t get up too early because of not sleeping well so didn’t go for exercises. I did some cleaning this morning then this afternoon we decided to go out for a bit. We haven’t been to Mervyn’s so decided to check it out, it is another store like Sears, J. C. Penney etc. has everything from soup to nuts. I didn’t get anything but John finally found a new pair of pants so he was happy. We also stopped at Albertson’s and Wal Mart as well as checking to see if our new coffee maker was in at Lowe’s – not until Thursday.

The sky was really pretty when we were out today, beautiful shades of blue but there was no place to stop and get a good picture – grrrr!’’

Today we got our first electric bill - $25.20 for 40 days at $0.18/kw hr. and there was no tax, gotta love it!

And so ends another day in the sunny south, tonight is relaxing with a book and TV.
