Awake: 7:40am Temp 49 sleep 6+23 overcast overnight @ Mission, TX.
Kathy makes her special sourdough pancakes, eggs over easy, bacon & real maple syrup for breakfast.
I start sorting through our recently delivered mail, then going through the files in our cabinet for 2006 tax items & shredding papers no longer needed or valid. During my shredding & sorting operation, Kathy keeps in touch with her friends, 1st calling her girlfriend, Jodi, in Memphis, TN; then her friend, Nancy, in Mesa, AZ.
Later, I take my turn on the phone & call my senior aunts in Ohio. My Aunt Aggie, age 92, has retained her sharp mind & great sense of humor. She uses a walker to get around but has no fear of going outside during the winter if her bodyguards are alongside.
My Aunt Bertha, age 95, has recovered quickly from her gall bladder operation, loves to walk & also uses a walker. Her macular degeneration has crimped her style a lot but she listens to many “books on tape”, has a wonderful memory + a positive attitude.
Katrina calls late afternoon; the condo she made an offer on also had a contingency offer from another couple. Our conversation is mainly focused on that scenario. Because the present owners of the condo want a quick sale, we retain our positive feelings that Katrina will soon be a condo owner.
8:00pm dinner: Veal bratwurst, whole wheat spaghetti, broccoli, spinach salad & toast.
Melissa calls & updates us on “the Foote Family adventures.” She sounds really good and is feeling much better now that her 1st trimester is behind her.
Evening TV on the History Channel: Dangerous jobs in Alaska: Driving the Haul Road (Fairbanks to Prudhoe Bay); Bush Flying; US Coast Guard Rescue Service; etc. I didn’t realize those fun jobs were so dangerous!
