Our Location today is Tecumseh, Ontario, Canada.
Last night we slept with our windows wide open and didn’t
have to worry about being overly hot. What we did have to make certain of was
that we had the blankets pulled tightly up around our necks. The temperature dipped
down to a cool 52 F (11C) that would only climb to a balmy high of 63F (17 C)
for the day. The fresh air did help us to sleep to just after 8:00 this morning
and made us close the windows down to a crack while we had a two cup of coffee
breakfast.
After doing our morning reading on the computers Kathy suggested
we go for a walk around the block for some exercise and fresh air. Off we went
heading eastbound and turning up the first intersection going up a street that
has seen major construction recently which saw an upgrade to the sewer system that
most of the residents had been praying about for quite a while. At the next
intersection we accessed the walking path along the playground not far from our
building before ending up at the Metro Grocery Store. We gathered a few things
we had on a shopping list along with a number of cans of soup that we’ll be
needing to keep warm if this weather is any indicator of the temperatures to
come.
Walking back to our apartment building we stopped at the
lobby to gather the mail. As I was emptying our box Kathy saw a missed delivery
notice with our name on it in the foyer. Seeing that it had been left there
yesterday Kathy suggested I walk down to pick it up. That is what I did walking
past the grocery store we had just left to go to the Post Office. By the time I
got back to the apartment Kathy had just finished getting lunch ready.
Remember about ten days ago I said we had ordered the last
of our Christmas Gifts on-line from New York City because that was the only
place we could find it. Well that was what came in today but when Kathy went to
wrap it she realized she was out of wrapping paper. We were expecting our
daughter Karen for a short visit around 1:30. She got a chance to see firsthand
what the package was because it was on her suggestion that we found the site to
purchase it in the first place. Once she had left it didn’t take long for us to
head out the door to find the missing wrapping paper.
The wind seemed to be making the temperature feel much cooler
than it was but that didn’t stop me from grilling some Johnsonville Brats on
the Weber for supper to go with the southwest salad that Kathy made up.
Tomorrow I’ll work on what I didn’t do today and Kathy will wrap the last of
this year’s Christmas Gifts. Thanks for following along and feel free to leave
a comment. Be Safe and Enjoy!
It’s about time.

You really make me feel like a slacker! I haven't even thought about Christmas, let alone shopping or wrapping!
