• Uplanned

  I didn't set the alarm.  I woke up after 8 AM which meant I got almost 10 hours of sleep. I felt much better.  Since my only goal this weekend was to sleep, I certainly got off to a good start. 

  I took my generic "boniva" and remained upright for 30 minutes before eating anything. I must rebuild and keep those bones strong.Once a week...I can do that.  Yogurt for breakfast.  Did some laundry.  The sun was shining and it was above freezing.  Too pretty to stay inside.  Roadtrip!

  We went to Rosebud (about 45 minutes NE of us on curvy 2 lane roads) to check out some antique stores.  Dennis found 2 more oil lamps to add to the collection.  I need to find some odorless, high quality lamp oil to burn...we should be using these lamps; in addition to electric lights of course.  I didn't see anything I couldn't live without, but had fun looking.   On the way home we drove around the old downtown Owensville and found another interesting antique store.  It also had some new "Americana" decoration/nic-nac stuff that was fun. If I wasn't hopeful about retiring eventually, and possibly downsizing, I would have been more tempted by some of the Easter decorations.

  For supper I tried a new soup recipe...butternut squash & pear.  It was not nearly as good as the sweet potato & apple soup. It was ok...but not a "keeper".  Fortunately it was not one of those soup recipes that feed an army.

  Freezing rain predicted early morning (like 2 AM) but temperatures will be above freezing by 9 AM.  Then 3 days of gray skies, 40 degrees and scattered showers.  Followed by 20's but sunny.  Is it Spring yet?
