February 1 - 15, 2022 More Snow and Cold Weather

Well what can I say about February? It has been somewhat cold and snowy for several days. But we have also had some really nice days interspersed between those cold spells. So we consider ourselves lucky that not all the days are cold!

Tuesday (1st) Today we did the usual things. Then Steve got the oil changed on the pickup while  I worked on the computer. My shoulder was a a little better. I talked to Pam & Marsha today. I also checked in with Linda - Wes has had some trouble with his heart - so she is not going out to eat tonight. We got a new backup camera for the pickup and Steve thinks it will plug right in without trouble. He also checked the battery in the RV. I did a couple of loads of laundry and later we had supper at La Macarena with Hazel and Stetson. We also had a nice walk today. Wednesday (2nd) it was pretty cold! 23 degrees! It started snowing more after about 2:30 or 3:00. So it was pretty much an inside day. I made beef stew for supper. 








This is kind of a progression of the snow throughout the afternoon and the next day!

Thursday (3rd) Again just another routine morning. Later I paid bills and we had leftover stew for lunch. About 3:00 PM it started snowing again and the temperature was 16 degrees! We watched the Olympics which is entertaining. I also rode the stationary bike for my exercise. Tonight we had chili for supper. Friday (4th) It was more of the same today. One of my highlights was clearing the snow on the walkway to the shed. We don't usually clear the snow - because normally it melts off pretty quick. But I think I had a little cabin fever and just needed to get out and do something, anything! We watched Reacher on Amazon- it was pretty good. We also watched the Olympics. Saturday (5th) Today we worked on our quarters. We collect change - and put some in collector books - like National Park and America the Beautiful. We did a little more snow shoveling in the front. We also had a nice little walk - even though it was windy and cold. We just needed some fresh air. Supper was pizza. Sunday (6th) I didn't have much written on this day. Our highlight was a nice walk. Then it was more Olympics and other routine things. 

Monday was routine in every way. We did laundry and picked up our mail. We walked around the neighborhood and later watched TV and took a nap. Tuesday (8th) For some unknown reason I woke up early. We left for Walmart about 10 AM to get our groceries. We both messed around - me on the computer and Steve in the RV. Wednesday ((9) We took it easy this morning. Later Steve worked in the garage straightening and organizing his tools. I worked on the blog. Steve got the RV out of the RV Port and put the bolts in the jack. I assisted. We also got the oil changed in the RV. While we were out roaming around - we took the RV to the car wash and Steve cleaned off the front of it. We want to go to South Carolina - if the weather and other things cooperate. We went ahead and got the RV filled with gas and also washed the pickup. Today was busier and the weather was nice. Thursday (10th) after doing the routine stuff I paid some bills and did a little bookkeeping. I went to the Dollar Store and Thorn's. I needed to get a birthday card and present for Linda. I also found a valentine's card for my hubby. Steve cleaned the RV refrigerator while I was gone. Later we washed the sheets in the RV and the towels. Steve cleaned the windows on the RV. This evening we went to the Boomerang and celebrated Linda's birthday which is actually Saturday - but we celebrated early.

 Friday (11th) After we got up we made ourselves beautiful. Today we left for OKC about 10:30 AM. Steve had an appointment for and MRI to see how he is doing with MS. We were back home by 2:30 so we had a snack and rested. Saturday (12th) I wished Linda a Happy Birthday and she let me know that she and Hazel had been in the ER most of the night with their mom. She was having trouble with her heart and breathing. It was cold  again or still today. So we stayed inside and watched TV. I made Chicken Vegetable soup for supper. Sunday (13th) Today we got around in a leisurely fashion. We watched some TV, and then got dressed. We had a nice walk and also went to the Dollar Store. Later we watched the Super Bowl to be mostly entertained by the commercials. We were kind of hoping the Bengals would win - but that didn't happen. The LA Rams won. 

Our Valentine's Day Haul

Monday (14th) Happy Valentine's Day! I was up a little earlier today. We got around and went up to the hospital to check on Maxine and see the girls. Steve working   in the shed, getting it straightened up. I worked on the blog and paid some bills. Later I went back to the hospital to see Maxine and the girls. Then I came home and watched basketball and the Olympics.  Tuesday - Steve and I headed down to Linda's to get hairdos. I got a cut and color - Steve just a cut. While we were there, Linda's door was giving her trouble - it wouldn't stay shut. So Steve tried to fix it and it didn't cooperate. He told Linda that she needed a new hinge. So we went to the hardware store and got it and he installed it. Works much better now. We had supper at La Macarena, it was just us because Linda & Hazel were sitting with Maxine. Wednesday (15th) After we got around, I went back up to the hospital to check in on Maxine. I stayed a couple of hours. Then returned home for Lunch. We took a walk and while we were walking, I got a message from my brother-in-law (JC) to see if we could come and stay with Pam on the 2nd day of March. I said yes, no problem. So we are cancelling our trip to South Carolin. We will try it next year I guess.That pretty much wraps up the first half of February.
