5 of 17.... in These titles mean nothing.

… was yesterday.

1. I honestly took my first nap of the seventeen days. So I guess I can cross that one off.
2. I also with Jim helping and making me do it sent out half a dozen Christmas cards.
3. I also had lunch/supper actually at T-Bocks.
4. Oh I used up one of my gift cards. I could not get the other one to work.

And I think that was it.

I don’t think I drank enough coffee.

Our weather is gray and foggy and it’s been known to rain. We had rain turning into snow the other night. I’m not unhappy with the weather. Temps are staying above freezing and it’s easier to keep the house warm. We can either have a fire or not have a fire. Less pressure on the the so-called wood supply. And you can either get up in the night or stay in bed - your choice.

Kids are not coming down until Christmas day afternoon. Joana will visit cousins on Christmas day. I ithink we will have our ‘get together’ on Friday night. I have another frozen lasagna in the fridge along with a key lime pie and a pecan pie. We had lasagna and key lime pie for Thanksgiving and they went over fairly well. I also have a fairly large chunk of sliced ham.

I had potato salad at T-Bock’s last night. They have really good potato salad. I used to make a lot of potato salad myself. It was one of my specialties. It’s funny how so many of the things I used to do - especially cooking - have dropped by the way side.

Cooking is sort of a habit. You have to do it to be able to do it. I used to bake huge quantities of cookies and at different times I made a lot of bread too. I was a big pancake person and as I said I made potato salad. Now it all seems like too much work.

Cooking is one of those things too that you have to do to be able to do. Like sex I suppose. Or driving. Or gardening. If you let it go you lose the ability to do it.

Damn that’s a depressing thought. All the way ‘round.

Is that what life is like? Is that what aging is like? Do we give up doing things and then find ourselves unable to do them?

We don’t live forever. On the other hand we would like to maintain some capabilities as long as we can.

The funny thing is = no one is stopping us. I could make potato salad. But it’s just easier not to.

I have just depressed us into a corner. Let me go look for a picture to cheer us up.

This picture is from January 2007 (I think) when we had snow.
