Fantastic Friday

We had a fantastic day. It got up to 65 degrees with sunshine and no wind.

We started the day out by going to get the Minnie from storage. We're going on a little camping trip at Jim Hogg Park on Georgetown Lake, which is run by the Corp of Engineers. 

We attended three virtual square dances. The first dance was Don Moger's Weekly C1 dance at 12:00 for an hour and a half. Don had 48 participants on Zoom. We only did three tips because we were starting to get frustrated and we weren't having fun.

Thursday 10-29 Happy Thursday

Halloween is almost here

 

Halloween is only two days away. What are you going to do for Halloween? We're just going to hang around the house. For the last few years we haven't had any kids come knocking at our door on Halloween night and we weren't sure if we should buy any candy. We decided to buy a small bag of candy just in case. 

Today was another cold day with the high in the mid 50's. It was very windy with the wind out of the north/west.

I played Solitaire games. I did the Daily Challenges and the Event: Hard Road Mini of 5 games. It took me 29 minutes and 48 seconds, which put me in 13th place in my group.

We started the day by going to Round Rock to work on Louise's front door. After replacing her door lock a few weeks ago she decided she wanted to replace her front door. The old door was in pretty bad shape, years ago someone broke into the house and damaged the door and the frame. Larry repaired it but everything really needed to be replaced. She did not want a window in her new door so she chose a six panel fiberglass door. The installer did not do a stellar job so Larry corrected a few issues and now everything is perfect. Even installed a new electronic door bell that allows her to choose from 52 different melodies. She currently has it playing a Christmas melody.

Relaxing with a friend

 

We had a very laid back day. We spent most of the day hanging around the house. We woke up to a brisk morning with temperatures in the low 50's and wind out of the north.

On Saturdays we don't do any dancing. We like this because it gives us time to relax. Today Larry started the day out by going to Walmart to pick up a few things. When I got up he had just returned, he bought a Cinnabon Cinnamon Swirl cake for breakfast.

After breakfast we went for a walk at Crossroads Park. When we arrived we were surprised to see organized sports were going on. There were a few games going on the soccer fields, the spectators were spread out for social distancing. There were groups of kids and coaches practicing baseball in the pitching areas. When we were leaving we saw a couple of baseball games going on. The spectators in the stands were also practicing social distancing. We walked for 40 minutes. During our walk we saw people jogging, walking and enjoying the park just like us. As we were walking we stopped by one of the homes being built and walked through it. We enjoy doing this and haven't done this in a long time. It's nice to see how the house was being built and the floor plan that was used. We had a very nice walk. 

 

Entrance to Crossroads Park

After our walk we spent the rest of day in the house. Larry found a new Cameo project, a Nutcracker. Before making it he watched a video on how to assemble it. Then he cut the pieces on the Cameo. Next he weeded the piece. Then he assembled the pieces using foam inserts. It came out super.

I started the day out by going to the dentist at 10:00. Because it was my first visit I was there for an hour and a half. They looked at my x-rays and found I have some bone lose so they made recommended I use a rinse for dry mouth and come in every four months for a cleaning to get the problem under control. I had a deep cleaning done and have to go back in four weeks so they can check out the progress. I've done this before because for some reason I get a lot of build up on the lower teeth. The new dentist office is fantastic, it has all the updated equipment for x-rays and they display them on a big screen TV that you and the dentist can see. 

Visiting the dentist

While I was at the dentist Larry worked on making fall cards on the Cameo. He used different colors of paper for each one. The cards came out beautiful.

 Due to Covid I have not been to the dentist since last November, normally I go every six months for a cleaning and checkup. Right after our cleanings in November Larry changed to a dentist practice that it just down the street. So far this year they have cleaned his teeth and placed two crowns on implants.

The Minnie is at the house and it was cool outside so Larry decided to start the day out by doing a small maintenance job. He had noticed that one of the turn signals was not working correctly so he decided to clean the bulb connections. He does this now and then and the lights start working again.

Last night Larry did our weekly grocery shopping online. This week Walmart only had to substitute one item. Our groceries arrived at 8:30. It's so nice just to walk to the front door and pick up our groceries.

At 9:00 a gentleman showed up to install a new windshield in the Minnie. He removed the old windshield and got the new one ready to be installed. Another gentleman showed up  and they both put a suction cup on each side of the new windshield and put it in the hole of the old one. When this was done the second gentleman left. Then the first gentleman finished the install. He took the inspection tag off the old windshield and put it on the new one. The new windshield looks super no more crack or rock chips.
