A Windfall

    One of my Bridge friends, during our Zoom chat yesterday, offered to lend me a brand new jigsaw puzzle that she got for Christmas. She has decided it is too tricky but I'm eager to give it a shot.

   Off I toddled to her house (the longest trip my car has had in 9 months) to pick it up. She kindly gave me another one as well so I will be kept busy for the next week or two. I will post a pic of the new one if/when I finish it.

   On the way home I stopped at the library for a book I had ordered, "The Prisoner's Wife". We are back to waiting outside the library for our holds but, fortunately, there were only 3 people ahead of me and it wasn't too cold. Now I have lots to keep me entertained.

   I had a walk up to the Mall this morning, combining exercise with a couple of errands. It started to rain on the way home but I was well protected. The rain is on top of a couple of inches of snow that fell overnight so we are likely to have icy conditions if the temperature drops below freezing tonight. Tomorrow I will stay indoors!

  1. I don't blame you for staying indoors. And now you have plenty to keep you entertained. X

    1. It actually turned to be a fairly decent day and I managed a short walk.

  2. How nice to have had a mission of getting those puzzles - sometimes just those little drives out, the change of scenery can do us so much good. I was able to pick up 2 books & a DVD the other day at the library, our library is closing Friday- Monday for a mini break.

    Happy New Year Chris & raising a glass of cheer to a good 2021.

    1. I got a good start on the puzzle but it's going to take me a while (which is good). Happy New Year to you both, Mary Lou.

  3. Enjoy those puzzles! I have a few here since Harvey really enjoys doing them.

    It is snowing here today. Large, lazy flakes that are drifting to the ground.

    God bless.
