I know I'm old. At the grocery store, I keep telling myself how expensive everything is. I remember my grandmother saying that when I was a kid. I try not to say it out loud.
I spent some time grocery shopping today. I had run out of bread and we still some basics to stock up on, so off I went. It's a pretty fancy Kroger nearby, but it took forever to shop. Finding things in a new store always takes more time, but the only thing I didn't find was my fake Parmesan cheese. I also picked up ingredients for a few of my recipes so I can give Olga a break from cooking.
Olga has been busy unpacking boxes and washing windows. She announced today that she had finished all the windows. So I caught her finding more.
She decided to wash all the windows on Natasha's car. She didn't, however, do the truck.
Steve and Natasha were doing a project together - getting the garage organized.
They are putting up the shelves from Natasha's garage in Chicago. She'll have a lot of storage out there. And room for both cars. Steve had to order a second opener and a keypad but everything is installed and working.
It was a great day for doing outdoor chores. It was about 68 when I took Obi for a walk at about 6 this evening. But tomorrow's high is supposed to be 45. West Lafayette will have a high of 28 and a low of MINUS 17. High on Monday in West Lafayette will be MINUS 15. My sympathies go out to all of you in the Midwest. Keep warm.
Today was a special day here. Maria turned one today. We had a festive lunch with a Tinkerbell cake. Is that not cute?
Maria liked the icing. I think she was the neatest one year old I've seen with her cake.
And both parents and Grandpa were taking pictures.
And Obi was hoping for a handout.
He's trying really hard to be a good dog. He's not too sure about all the changes going on, but he's trying. We have a "thunder shirt" on him and it helps him not to be as anxious. He and Salami and Sonia (Natasha's dogs) haven't quite figured out how to play together but they keep trying.
So another good day in Dallas. Or, more specifically, Plano.
Keep warm, everyone.
