2018 January 19 Friday Ella posted, “Tonight is last night in Iowa until spring. I said the final goodbye to Cindy’s husband Doug, gotten to know my youngest great grandson better, and witnessed the busy schedules of my grown children and grandchildren. It will be good to be home with Tom. And to go toContinue reading “2018 January 19 Friday”

2018 January 18 Thursday  My first stop for the day was at Verizon to straighten out what the new guy messed up on Tuesday. I don’t  really blame him. It was his first day. There was an ice storm. And there was no manager on site to help him.  However, it took some time talkingContinue reading “2018 January 18 Thursday”

2018 January 17 Wednesday Brrr! It got down to 8° overnight in Liberty Hill Texas. That’s downright chilly even for this Iowa born transplant. It was 57° inside the RV. Before I went to bed last night, I covered the windows with some fleece lined blanket throws to add a layer of insulation to thoseContinue reading “2018 January 17 Wednesday”

2018 January 16 Tuesday Texas is closed today. Okay, maybe that’s an overstatement but it sure seems that way. Schools are closed and business didn’t open or closed early. Why? You ask. It got cold! It got down to 21° last night and isn’t going to get back above freezing until Wednesday. Plus we hadContinue reading “2018 January 16 Tuesday”

2018 January 13 Saturday Nothing to do and nowhere to go and no one to do it with. Ella is still in Iowa and staying with a grandson and his family. I did some light housework then just goofed off until I got a text that one of my prescriptions was ready at Walmart. IContinue reading “2018 January 13-15”

2018 January 11 Thursday Normally Ella and I would go to the Over the Hill Gang on Thursday. However, with Ella in Iowa, I decided to go to the Leander Senior center instead. I arrived about nine thirty and, other than the staff, was the only one there for the first half hour or so.Continue reading “2018 January 11 & 12”

2018 January 10 Wednesday Yesterday when I told Ella that she didn’t have many clothes in the hamper, she seemed surprised. Now I know why. She had more clothes on the floor on her side of the bed and in the shower stall. Being Wednesday it is Grandies day also. After Grandies was over IContinue reading “2018 January 10 Wednesday”

When I awoke at 6 a.m. the furnace fan was running but it was just blowing cold air. Which means I need to go out and turn on another LP bottle. It got down to 30 degrees last night outside but it stayed comfortable enough inside. I sent a text to Ella. She said sheContinue reading “2018 January 09 Tuesday”

I spent the night at Adam and Leigha’s. The couch in the TV room makes into a bed. Once I found a spot between the support bars, it was alright. I didn’t sleep well though… different bed and no wife. I woke around four and shortly afterward Adam and Leigha left for their “gladiator training”.Continue reading “2018 January 08 Monday”

I didn’t sleep well without my bed partner. I woke several times during the night and then again too early in the morning to get up and do anything. I didn’t have to fix breakfast because our church has a breakfast bar. So I just lay abed waiting for time to get up. Once up,Continue reading “2018 January 07 Sunday”
