Monday 18th Jan 21.

Didn't get thru the night without incident, when all was done it was tough night. Today was a bit stressful with the with the showering routine, but that went better than I thought it would. Got a chance to get to the dump with my garbage. Picked up Jane',s meds at CVS, and then some groceries. 

When I was first married I was shocked   to hear a young cashier in the Shoprite called me"Sir" it was a first. Today in Lowes foods A young cashier asked if I needed help getting the groceries to my car.....man this is getting serious.

 Things went pretty well today. Nothing dramatic going on. Sort of enjoyed the peacefulness.  Jane and I enjoyed a breakfast bowl with egg, potato, and bacon. Had a waffle  around lunch. My Tar Heels played Florida State at noon and lost. Dinner was a shrimp cocktail and spaghetti lasagna. Dessert was of course a dish of ice cream.

Monday. After

  Looks like it’s going to be a good day, the sunrise this morning was spectacular. Still the morning was real cold. A relative of a friend had hackers break into their finances on the computer, over the holidays a quick stop order held the damage down.                                    Tonight I’m going to combine the pot roast with peppers and onions over rice.

Day after Christmas

     Well we survived another Christmas. The kids called and provided a real treat for us. It’s always a treat to hear from them this year more then before. Mom was always asking did you talk to anybody? My day was pretty uneventful which was ok with me. Dinner went well with meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and corn.  Dessert was a slab of fudge swirl ice cream.

Christmas Morning 2020

 I’m thankful that today just seems like another day. Seems like yesterday my brother was wacking me in the head with a toy truck. Guess it’s best for me to celebrate the day because I can. Recently talked with my cousin Delores and she spun my Rolodex memory way back.

Christmas Eve at 867 Millcroft



It's been raining for hours here, there's a possibility of some seriously dangerous weather. Got to the bank and to Harris Teeter. Tonight we'll have a nice steak  shrimp cocktail and a nice banana cream pie. The temperature outside is around 63 degrees , the original plan was for the traditional fire in the fire place. We'll just skip that part of the plan.     I'll try to capture our decor with the ipad.

Sunday 6th Dec

This day began quietly and early. On a birthday its been a tradition here to have crepes for breakfast, Birthdays and Valentine's day demand crepes. So I got up at 5:55 easy to remember. Jane ate the Lioness' share if Liz was here they would have been gone re   ally quickly. So I did get to .have some for myself. The birthday was my 86th by the grace of God is said often, this could be a pretty good demonstration of that. Later I got a birthday greetings from old  friends and the kids. Well its wonderful to be here.

Saturday, 28 Nov '20

 Today was pretty normal. Jane's physical therapist worked with her loosening up her left shoulder. Bringing her arms straight out and back to a self hug position and reaching over her head holding a pole in both hands and back down to her waist.  Left arms range of movement still inhibited.

Later that evening I was able to talk to my friend from  long ago. Pleasant memories from 1959......before email or facebook.
