Brrr... It's Been Cold Jan 9 - Jan 24, 2019

January has been cold or perhaps I've just noticed it more. Since I don't have to go to work anymore, I guess I pay hyper attention to the cold weather.  We have been working on cleaning out our closet (check) and dresser drawers here at home.
On Wednesday, the 9th we were able to walk at CCC Lake with the dogs. In addition, we heard from the manager at Fish, Wildlife & Parks in Montana this day. He wanted to know if we wanted to return to Echo Lake this summer and we said YES!
Most of the days are somewhat routine. Thursday I was online with Amazon about the pickup backup camera, we walked at the YMCA and did a little laundry. Friday, we cleaned out another hall closet, went to the grocery store. It has been in the 40's , overcast and dreary the last two days. I much prefer sunshine! The new backup camera arrived and it does not have the gridlines! This will give Steve something to work on when the weather is a little nicer.
Saturday was routine, except I missed going to the YMCA because they close at 2:00 PM instead of staying open all day. So,  now I know. We watched Dallas lose to the LA Rams and OkState win their basketball game!
Sunday we went to Walmart for groceries and supplies then watched football. Monday was routine stuff again plus making sure we mailed an affidavit to the VA and I also dissolved my LLC for my Dietitian Consulting business. We walked at the YMCA again. It was sunny today - so   I helped Steve work on his backup camera, even though it was only 40 degrees outside. If you dress warm, it helps!
Tuesday,  I had a long conversation with Janette about RVing and wonkamping. She and Bob are interested in doing this at some point.  Steve finished connecting his backup camera and was pleased with the results. We went to La Macarena for supper without Linda and Hazel - cause Linda is going to basketball games with her kids and Hazel is busy with something.  Wednesday  was nothing special - just more of the same.
Thursday the 17 th -After going to the YMCA we drove up to Tonkawa and went to the casino!  We joined their player's club and had some good luck  - we think we came out ahead some.
On Friday the 18th we wished Irene (Steve's Sister) and Anthony (my nephew) a Happy Birthday.  We watched some RV videos on You Tube - about the RTR, Phoenix Ramblers, Grand Adventure. And sometime in the last week we watched RV Nomads movie. These are keeping us entertained until we get to leave in the spring!
Saturday the 19th rolled around and again it was cold, 35 with a wind chill of 26 degrees. We got dressed up today to attend a friend's 50th wedding anniversary party in Ponca City.  It was held at the Marland Mansion in Ponca City.  This is a mansion built by one of Oklahoma's early governors who got rich in the oil fields. Then he lost money and had a rather sad life later.  If you are ever in Northern Oklahoma, it is a great place to tour and he has another mansion in town that is a museum also. We attended the party and left about an hour later because big parties where I know very few people are not my thing. But it was great to see my friends, Cecelia & Don and help them celebrate their 50th anniversary. It was also nice to see their kids! They have a great family.  Sunday brought more football: LA Rams beat the Saints in OT and the Patriots beat the Chiefs in OT. I was rooting for the Saints and the Chiefs, neither won. If you have a favorite team, maybe I should not root for them!
So this week - Monday was a holiday, Tuesday was routine - except Steve & I did go eat at La Mac without Linda and Hazel again! It was Rainy, cold and drizzly on Tuesday.
Wednesday the 23rd, we went to Stillwater to the VA for Steve's appointment.  Thursday, we took the RV to Camping world in OKC to check out our basement air conditioner. We had it installed last year in Montana and we wanted to make sure it was wired correctly. Sometimes it doesn't seem that the second compressor kicks in. Steve also got the oil changed in the pickup  and we watched Project Blue Book - about the UFO study project.  So this catches me up for awhile.  Hopefully we will have some adventures to report on soon.
