Enjoying The Cold

Elkmont, Alabama

Weather: low 27 degrees, high 47 degrees, clear skies

Brrrr! It just about got too cold last night. There was a heavy frost when we woke up, and we didn't get out until almost noon. Colder weather is expected tonight, when the low is forecast to be about 24 degrees. Again, brrrrrr!

The cold weather helped us decide to stay home all day to give Carolyn's vertigo a chance to subside. We did go down to the local grocery store late in the afternoon to pick up a few groceries. Using the local grocery store was a lot better than driving in to Athens and fighting the traffic on the streets and in the store aisles at the WalMart Mall. And, the prices were comparable, especially when I didn't have to drive ten miles one way.

Other than going to the grocery store, I watched a lot of college football. Carolyn got a little involved in a couple of the games, but only because she was rooting for the underdogs. She usually doesn't watch Florida games because she says every time she watches, they mess up. Believe me, they can mess up plenty with out her causing them to do it.

We don't expect to leave here until Friday, which means we have about five more days to enjoy the great weather (except for the cold) and beautiful countryside. When we leave, we're not sure whether we'll go down to Bay City, Texas to visit our daughter Lori and her family, or go to Glen Rose, Texas first to get our yearly physicals out of the way. We'll make the decision when I call our doctor on Monday to see when our appointments will take place. We would rather go to Glen Rose first, and then spend the Thanksgiving holiday with Lori in Bay City. While in Bay City, we'll also get our dental checkups done. Whew! That sounds like a lot to do. One thing at a time.

More later, be safe.
