November 2 -30, 2020 Highlights for the month!

 This month has been pretty routine. We have been doing all the regular chores like laundry, shopping and cooking. 

Early in the month we had to get more heartworm medicine for the dogs and get a replacement rabies tag for Poopsie - because she lost hers. We did a lot of yardwork - getting leaves and branches picked up and bagged for the trash service to pick up. 

We usually eat out with Linda and Hazel on Tuesday evenings. Sometimes it just one or the other depending on what is going on. On the 5th we went to CCC Lake and walked on the new trail - but there were a lot of branches down on it - so we will return after cleanup to walk here again. We also had Lowe's come out and measure our kitchen -we are thinking about new cabinets and a new stove plus some other updates.  Steve put a new threshold in the outside garage door. 

During the week of the 9th - I helped Steve in the garage. He put up some strips on the ceiling. When we had the foundation repair done back in 2013, they said we didn't need to put any piers under the garage. Well, guess what - we need them now - because we have cracks and the ceiling is sagging. On Saturday the 14th - I went to Enid and visited my sister Pam. We had lunch with Kim at Napoli's downtown. 

One of the most exciting things that happened this week was this awesome machine that picked up the limbs in our yard. The City of Perry picked up limbs that were stacked at the curb. So these are pictures  I took out the window of "The Claw" picking up limbs at our place and the neighbor's house across the street. 













On the week starting the 14th - we walked at the fairgrounds here in town for a slight change. The weather has been very nice! I had Linda give me a perm - so my hair would curl  a little. We have also been watching a lot of football. OSU got beat by OU. It seemed like they didn't even show up. 

On the week starting the 23rd we did ordered a cover for our gazebo in the back yard. After checking it wasn't as expensive as we thought. It is a metal patio cover - and it's a funny shape. We got it from Garden Winds. We checked on Hazel's house one day and we got groceries for Thanksgiving. The kids arrived early Thanksgiving Day (middle of the night) and so we had our small group (5) for Thanksgiving dinner. We had turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, green bean casserole, stuffing, crescent rolls, pink party salad and pies. It was yummy. Then we watched more football! We did go to Stillwater shopping on Friday - but were disappointed with what was available to purchase.  We had lunch at the Palomino (Mexican food). It was pretty good. Saturday was more taking it easy and watching football The kids went home about 2:30. Steve and I walked after that. Sunday was more of the same: football and ordered some presents online. 

We bought a new bird feeder!
Happy Thanksgiving!

Steve & I decked out in our PPE for a safe Thanksgiving! LOL!
