I spent yesterday with my senior friends in the elder housing. We had a nice visit and had Chinese for dinner. I helped them with some Christmas things. I will spend Christmas Eve with them and then they will go to the 95 year old sister's for Christmas Day.
Today around 2 it should reach 20 degrees Fahrenheit so I will try to clear all the ice away from Friday's snow. Friday night after 11 no one had walked n the sidewalk yet so I went to bed and said I would shovel in the morning. I was up and out at 5 AM and someone with a dog must have tromped all over it after midnight and compacted it so it was all compressed ice. Grumble. My plastic shovel would not work. I had to go out so I could not tackle it properly when it got a tad warmer. It's only 10 degrees now with the wind whipping off the beach. I will take the ice chopper out to it when it is 20 degrees. We will not really warm up so the ice in the driveway and the walk will not melt. Dad used tp take care of this stuff, but can't now.
We were out and about early to get a card for my aunt and buy salad makings for Christmas. While in the card store I saw a really soft cozy hooded poncho that was meant to be a single blanket. I hinted pretty hard that this is a nice thing. Let's see if Dad was able to pick up on the hint. If not I will buy it after Christmas. He is just going to throw money at me (so to speak).
Today's goal is to wrap the gifts I bought Dad and put the under the tree. Then putter around the house and around supper time pull out a good and read.
