A Roof Check and Shopping Trips

Orange City, FL.
54 deg. clear, no wind.
Forecast today = high temp. 81 deg. sunny, W. wind @ 5 to 10 mph.

Ahhhh!!!! Nice weather for a change!!!!! Not too hot yesterday with a nice breeze blowing, lots of sunshine and low humidity.

One of the first things Jim did yesterday was to roll out my awnings. When it rains as hard as it did the last few days, they tend to get wet even when rolled up, so he wanted to dry them out. Then after the sun dried my roof off, he went up there and checked for any damage that may have occurred when that small branch fell on me the other day.

I'm happy to say, that there apparently was no damage, and in fact, Jim couldn't even see a mark where it hit me. :-)

About 10:00 Jim took CLT and headed into town and to the farmers market at the park. He wanted to get some more of that kohlrabi that he had bought last week and Linda was also out of tomatoes and onions. All items were found and purchased.

From the farmers market, he went to ACE Hardware and picked up a few things before coming back here.

In the afternoon, Laura came over, picked up Linda and took her shopping for clothes at the Mall in Sanford. You see, Linda has been losing some weight and some of her clothes didn't fit any more. She has been working really hard on losing the weight and Jim , CLT and I are really proud of her. :-)

Good job, Linda!!!

While she and Laura were shopping, Jim and CLT headed over to a Office Depot store to try to find a new lap desk for Jim to use with this laptop computer. The one he has now, he's had for a few years and it's starting to crack down the middle. But, Jim couldn't find one at the store, there were a lot of people shopping with only a few employees taking care of the customers, and so with no one available to ask about the desks, Jim finally just walked out of the store.

He was also going to buy ink cartridges for the printer, printer paper, and a few other items, but since he couldn't get any service, he didn't buy them either. It's their loss because there are other stores like Staples and Office Max in the area and I'm sure one of them will have the items he needs.

Soon after Jim got back, Linda and Laura came back from their shopping trip. They were much more successful and in fact found a big sale on many of the items that Linda purchased. :-)

For dinner, Jim cooked hamburgers on the grill while Linda made a salad for Jim and heated up some left-over kohlrabi for herself. The evening was spent in the usual way. TV, computers, reading and sewing.

Did you know that this first week in April is "International Pooper-Scooper Week"?  ;-)
