Two Days

Yesterday and today the weather was the same. but our activities were different.  Yesterday we braved the icy wind for a trip to the activity center,

where we joined a lot of other people for the (free) Welcome Back ice cream social.  Lots of people were sitting around eating their ice cream and visiting, but there were a couple of beanbag games going.

We were disappointed with our ice cream.  We ate it standing and walked back home to gather trash and recycling. 

After we dropped that off Duane played pool for a while.  I worked my jigsaw. 

Today we stayed in all day.  Duane didn’t even try to work in the garage.  We shared the living room all day, trying to keep warm.  In spite of having no picture to use, I managed to finish my puzzle.  It is described in the little story.  The main items are the end of an army cot, a chair, table, bookcase, chair with a dark lantern  an iron safe with a dish of milk and a whistle, and an ornate rug.  There are a lot of little details that make this picture very tricky. 

Anyone who is a Sherlock Holms fan will know what I mean when I say that the story of the Speckled Band is based on some incorrect information that was thought of as true at the time the story was written.  O still had fun rereading the story and finishing the puzzle while Duane enjoyed stretching out on the couch and commandeering my remote.

Tomorrow the cold weather is supposed to start easing out of here..  I hope so.  We want to get back on the pickleball court.

Looking forward to some exercise..

Louise and Duane
