Today is a lazy day

After church this morning, Bob and I picked up a few groceries, just in case we get snowed in. That is really not in the forecast, but there is a casserole Bob wants me to make. We are supplied though with about everything and can skip the stores for a bit. He actually went in the store with me, so we got some more impulse things, like Bratwurst. It was on a good sale. There was a Bob Johnson's side dish--maple pecan mashed sweet potatoes that he wanted. It was marked down. I fixed it, and of course he found it too sweet. He said "It tastes like syrup!!", then I reminded him, that is what maple is. He said "oh, yeah". He cooked the bratwurst for lunch. We had the maple pecan sweet potatoes and a broccoli/carrot cooked combo that I had put together. He liked that. Tonight we had coffee and apple pie. I napped a while in my chair but I am ready for water to drink and to go to bed. No work tomorrow, but I will still get up early to take out the trash.

I didn’t go out because of the cold. The good part of that is I filed my taxes today!

If I do not have to go out in it or go to work, I do not mind. I really have more trouble with having uneven footing to walk than I do with having cold temps.

@GardenGerty Yes uneven footing and slippery footing is horrible. Snow and ice is when I started to use a cane. Then I continued on.

What you fixed for dinner sounds really good. I hope it does not snow.

The forecast is calling for clouds here but no precipitation. I hope you don't get anything falling, either. Hope you have a nice night.

I think we did get some weather that weekend, but we are coming up on some nice temperatures next week.

@GardenGerty The forecast here shows nice temps but we're supposed to get rain Thursday, Friday and possibly Saturday. (98% chance on Thursday and 89% on Friday.)

I would expect that to be very sweet. Glad you are ready if you need to be

I enjoyed it, but it was very much like a dessert for me.

Some here put their trash bins out the day before but the truck doesn't come till after lunch so I mostly put mine out the morning of the pick-up.

I have always been one to shop markdowns and sales. Sometimes the store gets in a lot of something they think will sell but it does not. They have to mark it down to move it.

Wow, your pick up is early. I think this was before the week where we had snow days Monday and Tuesday and Friday.
