Carolyn Went To The Doctor

Elkmont, Alabama

Weather: low 36 degrees, high 50 degrees, cloudy skies

As predicted, the warmer weather has taken care of the the last of the snow. Will there be enough for the kids to build snowmen again before winter is over? I wouldn't be surprised.

Terri and Thomas left for Tuscaloosa and home today, but not before helping us polish off the rest of the homemade soup from last night. We enjoyed having them here for the holiday, and the house was just a tad too quiet for us when they left. Of course, it's the type of thing that you bear up to. Wouldn't it be great if families could still stay in one place as a family unit, instead of being spread all over creation making a living?

Carolyn has been fighting a terrible cold all week, and once Terri and Thomas were gone, it seemed that her reserves went with them. She was about as sick as she has been, and I was finally able to talk her in to going to see a doctor. She has an upper respiratory infection, so she got a shot and some antibiotics which we hope will start giving her some relief before long.

Our printer bit the dust today, so we're going to be looking for one. It's been a long time since we have needed a new printer, so I guess I'll have to educate myself as I did on the televisions before buying them. Terri gave me a gift card for one of the major electronics stores, so maybe I'll be able to find what I'm looking for at that store. Hmmm. Should I buy a wireless one or continue using one that hooks up to the computer?

We put the tree away today, along with the few Christmas decorations that we still have. Maybe when Carolyn feels better, we can take a trip in to town and take advantage of some of the after holiday sales.

That's about it from here. Hopefully, Carolyn will start feeling better, and we will get back into a little bit of a routine. Such as road trips.

More later, be safe.
