Feeling Rotten

Folks this post will be short.  I've had a sinus attack and feel miserable,had to sit in a chair all night so I wouldn't keep Nancy awake.  I did go to the doctor early this morning and gave me a perscription for a zpac.  Some way to spend Nancy and my 54th annerversary.

Cold Again

You could tell by the dark clouds at sunset yesterday that it was going to be another cold night.   We did brave the cold weather and got out to Harbor Freight,Kmart,Walmart and Little Caesar's Pizza where the deal was buy one "Hot n Ready" and get one free.  Can't pass up a deal can we?   The rest of the evening was as usual computer and tv time,with a little reading in also.

Unusual-Usual?

What in the world is going on in Florida?  Last year it was so cold and everyone said that it was unusual for Florida to be like that.  This year the same thing is happening.  The temp for the next couple of nights is going to be down in the low 30s.  Is this going to be the new normal weather for Florida?  This is not what I come to Florida for.  You say I should be glad I'm not up north,well I'm not up north,I'm in Florida and I want my warm days and nights back.   OK enough crying,I hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas day and have a nice weekend.
Until next time,stay safe,

Whoever you are and wherever you are have a safe and happy day.

Christmas Presents

Yesterday we went down to Safety Harbor to the Quality Sausage House. This is a Hungarian run place where they sale home made sausages and different meats. I bought a few thing that I haven't eaten in years and one item that I haven't eaten since I was a small kid. Nancy had to take back a few presents,one that I bought her and one she got for herself. First it was to Applebee's for an early dinner. Our dinners are always early. Today we have to stay in for a while because we have some things that have to be done. Then maybe we will get out.
So as you can see we are not doing anything very exciting. Hope everyone has all their Christmas shopping over with.

Out Again

Yesterday we finally got out to do some walking. It looked like winter with the dead leaves along the trail. It had warmed up enough to enjoy the walk without getting to warm.
There was enough green in the woods to make it look pretty as a picture.

Which was what this young artist thought also. She was doing a beautiful painting.
She was really concentrating on her subject as she painted. We enjoyed the day so much more as we were able to get out in the fresh air for our walking.
We didn't see any unusual animals along the way,just the squirrels and a bird or two. Didn't even see an alligator.

Winter

The weather still has that winter time feel to it.  Yesterday was suppose to get up to 66° but I don't think it made past 55°.  That upon a constant sea mist and a little breeze sure felt like winter time.  Of by wednesday it will be in the 70s for the rest of the week.  Yesterday we used the Dine-A-Mate coupon for a buy one get one free meal.  We went to Pam/s Country Kitchen for the first time to eat.  It was good food and quick service with a fare amount of cusotmers.  This is a place we may come back to.
This is your last week get get that special someone a Christmas present.
Stay healthy and warm.

Nice Weather

Yesterday was nice,with the temp at 70 + plus a little extra.  It felt so good to be out in short sleeves and not being bundled up.  We went to the USA Flea Market again to buy some fresh vegetables.  That is about all we get their anymore.  Every once in a while we might find something else but not very often.  After walking and looking at the flea market we came home,but first it was a stop at Little Caesars to get our pizza fix for this week.  Last night the Christmas lights that I have hanging on the carport went out.  So now I will have to take them down and put up more.
Nothing for the day except college basket.

Nothing new

The posting is slow now that we aren't going anywhere since it cold weather.  We did manage to go to Anthony's yesterday for their wednesday dinner special.  All you can eat spaghetti with soup or salad and bread for $5.50.  We took the wedding soup which is very good.   Then Nancy went to Beall's Outlet where she bought a couple of things,then it was to Walmart,always Walmart.  Why can't you ever pass up Walmart?  Then being the big spender that I am it was to McDonalds for the wednesday 49¢ hamburger which will be for todays great meal.  Todays weather is going to be warmer and thats good news.
Have yourself a great day.

Falling Apart

I guess no need to post about how cold it is,because chances are you are much colder than we are.
Now the "falling apart" thing.  For some reason friday afternoon my left I stated to get bloody and by evening time the eye was all blood in the white part and is still the same this morning.  I was hoping that it would look better by now.  If that was not enough last week I strained my back some way,maybe hanging up the Christmas lights?  Well even though it was still a little sore I thought it was in pretty good shape,not so. Yesterday evening while getting in the flowers in preperation for the freezing weather I lifted and carried in a long pot of flowers and by the time I got inside I had to go down to my knees with the some of the worst pain that I have had. I crawled to the sofa and stayed there for some time before I could move.  Nancy asked if I wanted her to call and ambulance and I said no!  I hope it will eventually get better. 
So much about me,how are you doing?  Staying warm I hope.

Saturday

 Saturday mornings are my special breakfast day when I have eggs,biscuits,plus oinions tomatoes,peppers,bacon and everything else I can throw on the plate. When you are young you are taught to not play with your food.  Well yesterday morning it all looked bright and Christmasy so I couldn't help but make myself a Christmas wreath.  Afterward I threw it all together for a great breakfast.
 Getting out saturday was chilly and gloomy with the gulf mist coming in.
Yes our fuel prises are on the rise again,just in time for the holidays.
I spent the day sitting up the solar panel and charge controller just to get a feel of things.  This is a temporary set up as all this will go on the motorhome to help to keep the house batteries charged up.
