Farewell 2020

Didn't this year just start? Seems like it, but then I think back to everything that's happened and it seems like forever ago.

This was a crazy, busy, but sort-of-fun week at work finishing up on our current computer system(s). Going "LIVE" on the new system this coming Monday.... New year, new processes!

Not sure if I'll make it to midnight to see the new year in tonight. Going to try!

Happy New Year to all!

Dad 547: Vaccination Soon

(Dad writes on this penultimate day of 2020! ~ Tracy)

 

Derf Here! Another cloudy non-sunny day with temperatures in the low 30s. Our two-foot snowstorm of two weeks ago is now gone and our grass is as green now as it was in season. Notice I didn't call it a lawn.

 

Yesterday was a day of vaccines at the home that Mary Lou resides in. She didn't get a shot because she is about two weeks into COVID-19. She will receive her first shot in three weeks when the people who received their first shots yesterday get the second dose. Her second shot will be three weeks after her first shot.

 

Not sure when we will be able to visit our loved ones after all the shots are completed. I guess we will not be visiting for another few months. Let us open everything up and see what happens. Treat this as a virus.

 

Really watching the January 5th vote in Georgia and sure hope that the vote keeps out the proper candidates. Well, we will see!

 

I'm not blogging anymore this year, so I'll see you next year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Until next time!

Derf!

Where's Marilyn?

The most difficult installment of "Where's Marilyn?" to date! 

Happy hunting!

A Fine Holiday Weekend

Lew and I had a lovely Christmas Day. We visited with family at Matt & Emily's house in the morning, and we spent the afternoon visiting with Debbie, Glen, Josh, and Zack. It was a rainy, windy day, but we didn't care. It was Christmas!

The weather is much nicer today. Still cold but sunny.

Dad and I went up to visit with Mom through her room window this afternoon. She was glad to see us and she held up many of her Christmas gifts to show us. And, of course, there was a lot of waving, "I love you"s, and the blowing of kisses.

The next couple weeks at work are going to be very busy for me, so I am taking the time to enjoy this fine holiday weekend. Blessed!

Dad 546: Merry Christmas!

Derf Here! Another wintry day. But the sun was bright and the temperature settled in around freezing for the day. The weather people tell us that starting Christmas Eve a rain will begin and last throughout Christmas day. This rain should get rid of our snow that we received last Friday. We received about 18 inches. I expect to see part of our grass by Christmas night.

 

I still see Mary Lou twice a day. I see her in the afternoon and early in the evening. I have a couple signs I show her in the evening that say "Luv you Lou" and "Good night."

 

Must admit that the weather is getting much cooler now. I want a quick winter.

 

Closing now and wishing all a happy holiday season.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

Until next time!

Christmas Bag Lady

Tonight was the night I had set aside to put as many gifts in bags as possible.... Done!

There are four items left for Lew to wrap. That will be a cakewalk for him. He is an expert wrapper.

Time to sleep now!

A Record Broken: Mail Delivery

The old record for time of our mail delivery was 8:42 PM on October 16th.

It took just over two months for that record to be broken... 9:24 PM today!

For some reason our mail didn't get delivered on Wednesday. The weather was fine, so we still haven't figured out why it didn't come. (We know we were supposed to get mail, because we had a package "out for delivery" that day. We finally got the package today.)

Yesterday we didn't get a delivery because of the storm.

So the lateness today was probably due to the fact of three days of mail being delivered, not to mention all of the Christmas packages, etc.

What is the post office's motto again?!!!
