Weather: low 35 degrees, high 48 degrees, cloudy, light sprinkles all day
The snow is just about gone, helped along by the warmer weather and light rain we got today. We have a few small patches here and there in the yard, but those will be gone tomorrow. It was beautiful while it lasted.
A couple of weeks ago, we received word that Carolyn had a suspicious spot in an x-ray performed as part of her yearly health exams. She had to have followup x-rays performed and we obtained her records for previous years so some comparisons could be made. Today, she received word that there was nothing to worry about, and she should continue the yearly exams. Whew! We were worried because we didn't know for that two weeks what she would have to do. I think Carolyn will sleep better tonight.
The primary heat source for the new home base is a heat pump. Those of you who have heat pumps have probably run into the same problem with them that we have - the house just doesn't feel warm. I don't know why that is so, unless we're used to feeling radiant heat from the furnace and electric heaters in the RV. Just before Christmas, we had a gas log installed in the fireplace. Wow! What a difference in the comfort level. We can now feel the radiant heat, plus the house is much more comfortable. And, the best thing is that I don't have to cut wood for a fireplace. There's also something about sitting and watching a flickering fire. Why, it's almost like sitting in front of a camp fire, except for the smoke not getting in our eyes.
Is there anything more American than apple pie and ice cream? The only thing that makes it better is if you use Blue Bell ice cream. And we did!
More later, be safe.
