Happy Friday, December 19th. We have a beautiful but chilly day today. Yesterday was gloomy and rainy on and off all day. But today the sun has come out and the temperature will probably get up to 38 degrees. I can live with that.  

Well, I did make a pie yesterday. I was thinking about making two since I have eight apples left yet. That would make a full pie for sure. I used seven yesterday to make this one and it was plenty although another small apple would not have overfilled it. Bout, Kate and I talked about it and decided that we did not really need to have two pies sitting here. We have so many sweets sitting here between candy and cookies that we don’t need to put ourselves in a sweets coma. So, I put the remaining apples back in the refrigerator and they will hold up for a few more weeks I think. After New Years I will make another one. 

Kate and I both had hair appointments this morning with the same person 30 minutes apart. So we loaded her and her rollator up and went down to the beauty shop. We had to really watch ourselves this morning or at least Kate did. She fell twice this morning or maybe it was one continual fall. She was getting dressed and lost her balance and fell. She didn’t call for me to help but tried to get herself up. She managed to get herself half way up but then fell back down. She didn’t hurt herself anymore than she already was and she did manage to get herself all the way up.  

So we are back home now and I think it is time for a brunch time peace of pie. That will build our energy back up. That will leave two pieces for supper dessert. How long does a pie last in your house? 

I think I’m going to need to make a Walmart or Sam’s pick-up order before Christmas. I don’t need a bunch of stuff but I don’t want to wait until Christmas Eve and try to fight that traffic or those crowds. I think I told you that we are going minimal for our Christmas meal. But there is always something that needs to be picked up. 

That’s it for today. Have a blessed Friday. Peace.
