Third Sunday of Advent 2024

 Sunday, December 15, 2024

Church this morning for the fourth Sunday of Advent.

Dale had to count afterward so I took a walk down to Lake Harriet.

Brunch with Dale at The Howe. 

Sunday cigar at about 3:30.

Rather glum outside but that didn't make my Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur any less awesome. 

Second Sunday of Advent 2024

Sunday, December 8, 2024

Church this morning at Grace.

Dale had to count afterward so I took a walk to the lake. 

After that, brunch at The Howe.

I felt pretty bunky this afternoon. I think it was a reaction to my Covid and regular flu vaccinations I got on Friday. All I wanted to do was sleep. However I did listen to some holiday music. 

MLK Weekend 2024 - Sunday (Christmistletoe)

  Sunday, January 14, 2024

Another day of not having to hustle to get to work. 

Dale and I  drank coffee and took turns having Sylvester on our laps. 

The wind is whistling outside and it's even colder than yesterday morning yet it's very cozy inside. 

Went to church this morning on this 2nd Sunday after Epiphany. 

Dale had to count the collection after the service so I zipped over to Lake Harriet for a (very) short walk due to the cold. 

Despite the frigid air I was able to appreciate the beauty of the peacefulness and stillness. 

After my Lake Harriet visit I picked up Dale at church and we headed over to Creekside for brunch. 

                      

We both had omletes. Dale had the Denver and I had the mushroom and Gruyere. Delicious.

Stopped by Kowalski's after Creekside and picked up some potato salad to bring over to Warren's tonight. 

          

This afternoon Dale went to the gym and I had a cigar upstairs. 

 

Also listened to another childhood favorite Christmas album by the Harry Simeone Chorale. 

   

Dinner of BBQ chicken and ribs at Warren's townhouse. Gary was able to join us and we watched Crazy Mama starring Cloris Leachman. Oh so silly. Actually, just stupid.
