Hi.
It was -7 when we got up. I wanted to stay in bed!
Dee Jay, one of those pear paw ice scraper sounds pretty sweet to me. It is COLD outside here (and probably there too). I did go ahead and file my taxes this morning. Luckily I got one more donation reminder in the mail and upped my return $25. Woo hoo! I am still contemplating doing my parents taxes but I’d have to see what options they have online for doing something for deceased people. I’ll worry about that later though. Based on the tax documents I see it doesn’t look too difficult. I will have to go check “Houzz” out. Doesn’t that figure you find exactly what you want but it’s stored in a warehouse on Mars? I would like to get another chair or swap out the love seat for a 2nd couch in our living room but Marty keeps telling me it would look bad. One wall is the TV with a corner that has an angled fireplace. The loveseat is on the outside wall. The kitchen, dining and living room is all one open area so the couch sets with it’s back to the kitchen island and the other side is just open for walking to our bedroom. We definitely want to replace the sliding glass doors with hinged French doors (in the wind here you can have them open on both sides). I would like a different refrigerator and dishwasher but they aren’t horrible and only about a year old so I can’t justify that cost. We need a few more TV’s. We mostly watch the TV in the living room but the other 3 are horrid. The man cave has Marty’s parents old TV – it is flat screen but a tube so it weighs more than the 3 of us ladies combined. The bedroom has a 26” computer monitor and the den has one of the original flat screens. I would like nicer carpet, the carpet we put in at our old house was awesome and I’d put the exact same thing in here. Our bedrooms and den has carpet. The moral to that story is make sure you get what you want the first time, huh? I’ll keep you in mind if I want someone smacked.
Deegee, Marty is a good guy. Yes, I think your Matt and my Marty are keepers and I indeed feel lucky to have him. It is funny to think of our parents having a life before their started their family. I think finding old notes is more precious than photos. I am sure we’ll find many more sentimental items as we clean out their house. Your city is definitely being used as lab rats and I can’t believe the CDC is saying it’s okay to drink the water when they really don’t know long-term effects. I watch quite a bit of news and I don’t think I heard about it on national news at all. I am sorry to hear you don’t like your hair cut. I am trying to get my layers opposite from what they are right now as well. How fun for Matt to be furnishing his office. That plane looks quite comfortable. I hope you don’t have trouble getting in and out of it with your back. Feel better! I don’t think we’ll ever be done doing things for our house.
As soon as I got out of the shower we drove our to my dad’s house to put out his garbage. It was sooooo cold out there! I had cereal for breakfast when we got back and I started a pot of homemade soup for lunch. I also made a single batch of chocolate chip cookies. Lunch we quite tasty.
I finally got my parents 3 checking / savings accounts set up online. I signed up for estatements on all 3 of them so that kind of information won’t be in their mailbox.
I cancelled my dad’s Tracfone and have a call in to social security. They should have called me back already. We’ll see how that goes. Marty wants to go to Bed, Bath and Beyond since his coffee pot isn’t working, good thing his espresso machine is okay! I have to go get the mail at my parent’s house and put the trash can back by the house. I want to stop and take pictures of the flowers at the mortuary and write down whom they are from. When my mom died they told us they would include very detailed descriptions of the flowers sent by each person – they were so detailed you couldn’t tell them apart. I had out of town relatives want to know what their flowers looked like and the best I could say was “they were pretty”.
I guess we’ll pick up some window food on the way home from our errands. My aunt and uncle are getting here tonight. They are staying at a hotel but will probably be over here tonight.
Take care. Stay warm!

You and Matt will have fun making some cosmetic changes to your new house to make it more “yours”. We did pick out everything for this house but some things had limited choices so we picked what we liked best at the time. It sounds like you had a nice weekend with your nieces. Nashville sounds like Phoenix – it cracks me up when it’s 60 out and everyone gets out their parkas. We are like “this is picnic weather”. It was about 10 here today with wind chill -5. We might be above freezing during the day most of this week though. I’ll be running around with my moon roof open to cool down. I am doing okay, thank you for asking. I had one good cry today but it was brief.
I have a sapphire diamond band that is not the best quality stones but I wear it a lot. It has little diamond chips in the shape of a heart and each of them has a blue sapphire in the middle. Oh and tell Matt he missed a spot of snow on the driveway.
