Came in #2 this week. Good effort.

OYB!

Cold!

Nana went with me to take care of the grandgirls today.

Worked on getting the column at Kathy’s work fixed. Talked with my Progressive car insurance guy and Bill Kelly who will do the repairs.

I liked the art the girls did for me today.

Love being with my Mom and the grandgirls.

We went to Goodwill, Perimeter Mall and Pet Smart. I enjoyed watching Penelope use her new camera to take pictures.

It was a fun subject for her. Here are some of our shots.

At Perimeter Mall we played a guessing game as to what shoes the other people liked the best. We had fun.

We also went of Brook Run Park for fifteen minutes. I only let them stay out that long because of the cold.

Got gas and checked the oil on the way home. I get mine at Walmart and was able to use my .10 cent discount tonight.

Jessi has been doing some cool experiments with mushrooms.

OYB!

Not great weather today.

Español!

I told Anthony about this documentary this morning. We were talking about the tallest mountains in the brain.

Washed my bed clothes.

The clock they sent me had the glass busted. I’m sending it back.

Kathy, Nana and I went to visit Ashley, Miles and the girls in their new house. We enjoyed Thai food and had a little Christmas party before my Mom has to go back to Texas on Thursday. We had fun!

Checked on the school calendar to make sure the girls went back on the third.

I’ll come in the top three this week.

Español!

Girls had fun with Jessi doing science. These are special glasses that help you look straight up.

Ashley and Miles got their stuff moved over from Azalea to their new house that they’re renting.

OYB!

I love Everly’s art.

Walked .64 miles.

We went to the Library Park with Nana.

Started drizzling in the afternoon. Kept up most of the rest of the day. We were planning to go back to Stone Mountain so Penelope could shoot pictures with her new camera she got for Christmas. Couldn’t because of the weather.

I made lemon squares this evening. Yum.

OYB!

Español!

Walked 1.56 miles.

Did my laundry.

Took the clock to the UPS Store to send back to Amazon.

Went to Walmart and the Dollar Tree to get supplies for the Christmas party.

Deposited checks at the bank. Thank you, Jesus.

My Mom and I went to Taco Veloz before going to the mission to get the girls and set up for the Christmas party.

We had over fifty kids for the party!

Beautiful sunset!

Went to the office to check the mail.

The girls and I went to Stone Mountain to see the Christmas show. It was fun, but pretty cold.

The park is beautiful with all the lights.

Swishy!

Just keep going.

Girls were tired after the fun.

Worked on getting estimates for the column repair that K hit.

OYB!

Milder today.

Español!

Walked 2.52 miles.

While I was walking, I noticed a hole in the wall in my attic. Stupid squirrels! Went to Lowes to pick up some screws and glue.

Drilled holes so I could screw through the laminate. Hard to install due to low ceiling and having to be extra careful to only stand on the rafters.

Stuff always falls down when I open the attic. Vacuumed the house after I did the repair. Then cleaned the canister equipment.

Ordered a camera for Penelope. Sent back a clock to Amazon–it was supposed to come with numbers.

Swept the kitchen area.

Put my carnivorous plants back outside.

Nana and I picked up Penelope and Everly, then we went to E’s gymnastic class. it was her final day of the semester.

Saw this juvenile red tailed hawk at Azalea.

Helped the kids with their homework. I’ve been teaching some of the girls regrouping for subtraction.

Always great to spend time with Ash and Miles. They’re moving into their rental house this weekend. SIX years at Azalea. It’s rare for a couple to spend that long living in a mission. Average is about two years or less.

l love winter sunsets.

Cold!

OYB!

Español!

Cleaned my shoes.

Cleaned out the kitchen trash cans and took the bins to the street.

Walked 2.23 miles.

Took Nana to the Briggs Vision Group where Ashley works to get her eye exam and some new glasses!

We went to Mellow Mushroom for lunch. I had my first Calzone. Delicious!

Listened to Don Cheto.

Helped the kids with their homework and did some art projects.

Just keep going.

OYB!

Español!

Walk 2.07 miles.

Gassed up the car and added some oil.

Kathy let me know that she hit one of the columns at Young World where she works. I talked to our car insurance guy about it. We are covered.

I took Nana to get Indian food today. Excellent! After lunch, we went to the sweet shop and met the owner who used to live in Nairobi for 40 years! Wow!

Helped the kids at the mission.

Aired up one of the kid’s bikes.

While I was working with the kids, Miles took the family over to see the new house that they’re renting. Not a great time to buy a house!

Beautiful sunset.

Seems like I’m always sewing up one of the map jackets. They are really thin.

OYB!

COLD! Not bad with multiple jackets.

Español!

Walked 2.33 miles.

We went by Walgreens to try and get Nana’s blood pressure medicine refilled. Hopefully, the reply from the doctor will come in soon.

I sent back the Christmas lights I didn’t like to Amazon. UPS has a drop off center that is easy to use.

Went to Walmart to get Nana’s watch battery replaced. The lady in that department was very knowledgeable and got it fixed right quick.

Found some gum for K.

Moved our little Christmas tree back to the living room and put the lights on her.

Nana and I went for Mexican food then picked up the girls at the bus.

I brought the single bar gymnastics set over to Azalea and set it up. The girls had a lot of fun on it.

Went by my office to pick up checks. Processed and deposited them.

Took Everly to Taco Veloz for huevos rancheros.

We had a good time visiting with Miles and Ashley. What a blessing.

Love the sunsets during the winter.

OYB!

Español! I came in #4.

Rainy today.

Ordered groceries.

Got Thai food for J and me. K went to help get her sister from the hospital while we ate.

Beauty all around.

I ordered some frames for the grandgirl’s art work.

Did the laundry.

Going to freeze this evening, so I brought my carnivorous plants inside.

Went to the airport to pick up Nana.

They had a big tree there.

Listened to Don Cheto while I watched football and waited for Nana’s plane to get in.

Great to see my Mom!

I always think this sign on the wheelchairs is funny.

Picked up my groceries on the way home from the airport. The weather took a drastic turn for the cold!

I liked the sign that K put on the door as a greeting.

Just keep going.

OYB!

Español!

Wet today.

Nana is flying into the ATL tomorrow! Looks like all kinds of weather.

I keep moving. Miss biking, but I really don’t like riding when it’s cold. Like under 70!

Fun chat with my buddy, Anthony.

Checked the transmission fluid in my car. It was a little low. Transmission fluid (Merkon V) looks cool. I was amazed that I had a funnel that would actually work for this job. The place where you pour the transmission fluid was about ten inches under wiring. I had to have a nozzle with a very long snout. I have no idea when I bought that.

Also checked and added oil to Kathy’s truck.

I then refill my quart bottle from the large one.

I set up Nana’s bed. Washed everything and got it all back in. Our house is kind of like living in a college dorm. None of our stuff matches.

Confirmed the ticket for my Mom. Looks like all the times are the same.

My new Christmas lights came in! Amazon sent me the wrong color. I wanted bright white lights, they sent me blue.

I repaired a light that I have in Nana’s room.

Recorded and released a new episode of Verbal Surgery called “Brute Force.” Really good and very helpful.
