I went to church and Sunday School. I was able to get Danny out early but was almost late for church anyway. I sat next to Joan and Frances. Joan had a cane. She is having trouble with arthritis. I asked Frances how Linda was and she was fine. I saw her later and she was well.

I walked up in the hunting grounds again yesterday afternoon. I went the other way towards town. I took a couple photos of the trail and the road down below. I also took a photo of the sun going down over the marina. Danny loves walking up there. He trots out in front of me at a good clip. When we walk around the mobile home park, he lags behind and I have to almost drag him along.

I went to dinner at the Hibachi Grill with Cheryl and Ed. I went around the buffet this time. I got some things I never had before. The crayfish was so small it is hardly worthwhile to catch the poor things. There is only one bite and it’s a small bite. I also had a squid ring. It was deep-fried. One could eat a pile of them. They looked like onion rings. I’ve had squid before but small ones with the legs deep-fried.

Today, I went to the County Building and got Danny his dog license. It was a little unnerving. I gave her Danny’s rabies certificate and she must have keyed my name the computer and all my information came up. I felt like big brother is watching. She asked if the phone number she had was correct. I had to think for a minute because I never call it. It must be in the computer from the DMV. They are the only ones I gave my number to.

On the way home, I stopped in Advance Auto and got a cover for my windshield. Scrapping the frost off the window almost made me late for church yesterday. It didn’t scrape off well. I don’t know if the scrappers were worn or what. It scrapped off in streaks.

Next, I went to Big Lots. I found a couple items for Birthday and Christmas gifts for my grand nieces. I’ll go to the bookstore for the other grandniece and grand nephews.

Early this morning, I put a doorstop on the door to the second bathroom. It was not installed correctly and the hinge is bent so it doesn’t stay open. I drilled my holes and screwed it on the door only to discover I put it on upside down. It works so I left it that way. It has two screws on one end and one on the other so I would have to drill more holes to mount it correctly. I felt like an idiot.

I had a wonderful pleasant surprise. A UPS letter came for me. It looked like something official. I opened it and found a thank you gift from my cousins, Aunt Jean’s children. I was overwhelmed with their generosity and went weepy at their gratitude. I called my cousin, Donna tonight and thanked her. I hardly knew what to say. It was thoughtful of them.

I didn’t get much else done. I looked up some things on the internet and sent my brother my Santa Claus list.

It was down it the 20’s this morning. Danny has taken to sleeping under the bed. He lies on the bed until I turn out the light and then he heads for his den under the bed. I hear him crawling under, as it’s not high enough for him to stand. I guess he feels that I am tucked in so he leaves me and feels secure in his den under the bed. I had a hardwood floor in Vineland and the only time he slept under the bed is when he heard firecracker or fireworks. This place has wall-to-wall carpet so his den is soft.
