After-Christmas Stuff

Back home from  Christmas in Bertram and Liberty Hill .  Actually got home yesterday, but didn’t get around to posting anything.  Everybody seems to have been pleased with their presents, and there was lots of good food and good company.  The cedar pollen reminded Honey once again why there is no way she would ever consider living in the Hill Country.

Actually, not much to say today:

  • Overnight temps here last night were above freezing, but it’s still too cold to want to do anything outside.
  • Only one lawn chair in the pool.  With the high winds over Christmas, I was sure there would be several.
  • Winds caused a power outage that lasted from noon on Christmas until about 3:45 yesterday.  No problem for us- the automatic generator came on and ran until the power was restored.
  • The Graff’s next door “borrowed” water from us until the lights came back on.  Didn’t cost us anything – Ernest did all the work hooking and unhooking hoses, etc. - but they were so grateful, you’d think we had given them the moon.
  • 8O° at the Boggy Thicket on December 23, so when we left, the thermostat was still set to cool.  It was 60° in the house when we got home about noon on the 26th.  Not bad, considering how cold it got over Christmas, I expected it to be cooler.
  • Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary – number 48.  Signing off to go ask Honey what she wants to do.
