We Are Pretty Well Dried Out

We woke to sunshine today, as promised, although it did rain a bit during the night.  It was about 15 degrees cooler than yesterday and a little breezy, but we won't complain - especially when we hear from family who are in the cold and snow.  The sun dried us out pretty well today.  We got the patio put back together and the jigsaw puzzle back out on the picnic table.  Maggie wanted to go on walks all day after being cooped up yesterday, so that's what we did.  Us and everyone else in the park!

After that long bout of rain we have discovered a leak.  It's under the bedroom slider on my side of the bed.  I had stuck a towel in there because of drafts, but apparently the hole was big enough for the rain.  The towel was soaked this morning.  Rog got to fix that today.  It's been a few days since he's had a Mr. Fix-it job and he was wondering what was next!  

It felt good to have our meals at the table today.  We are not used to eating in the living room with little brown canine eyes sitting in front of the chair staring at us.  A friend emailed an excellent idea for next time we have to bring the puzzle in - put another board over it and cover it with a table cloth.  Duh....   simple, yet effective.  Why didn't we think of it?  

Rog got a call today from someone interested in his Dish Tailgator.  The guy is coming tomorrow to look at it.  Hope he takes it.  

A person I "met" through Ancestry has emailed that he will be in Salt Lake City in January and is willing to research anyone I want in the Keith line (his son-in-law is a Keith and he and Roger share the same great, great grandfather) at the LDS Center.  So, I've got to figure out what/who I need more info on and get him the names and pertinent information.  That would be so cool if he can get me  past some roadblocks in my research.  This could be exciting.

We are staying put this weekend so as not to get caught up in the shopping/traffic frenzy so. . . will probably be a slow news day tomorrow.
