Wednesday, December 29, 2021 cloudy, raining, still 57 degrees 4:55 p.m.

a very cloudy, rainy day with occasional winds blowing the leaves and fluttering the flags. The squirrel l was out and about this morning, snooping in the flower pots and just checking the place over. He is cute and very inquisitive, Also the Blue Jays were back and had breakfast, then the small brown and gray ones were back a bit later for their breakfast. Then the hard rain came so they all left.

Today Tina went to the doctor because she has a cold or bronchitis. The doctor gave her a COVID test and will get the results tomorrow. The doctor also said that strep throat, colds and flu are going around like crazy right now. She said to wear her ,ask. She always wears her mask as do I . What ever bug she has I hope she gets over it quickly. Being ill does not become her. And, Kleenex is expensive!

After the doctor we went grocery shopping. It is amazing how much the prices on everything have gone up in just a few days. I was shocked. But we got what we needed and a couple extra things just to have on hand so am glad that is over. Walmart isn’t the cheapest place to shop either, I have found some things less expensive at Kroger’s . Name brand items. I guess now it is shop where you can find the item you want rather then price. The news said it will get worse.

Yesterday Retired Senator Harry Reid passed away. The USA has lost several governmental personalities as well as movie stars and sports personnel. John Madden also passed away yesterday. He had a great seance of humor and was 100% a Football person. I know the sports world will miss him a lot. I am sure that the political world will miss Harry Reid also.

Have a great rest of your Hump Day. Make it a warm and comfortable and fun day.

Blessings
