A good weekend

The weekend has been pretty good - Ian was home for Friday night. He had his own cold to deal with as mine is slowly winding down. He had a OA business meeting Saturday morning to attend before heading back to campus. Brief as the visit was it was awfully good to see him. The dogs go crazy themselves when they see him. Patches walks with the swagger of a dog who robbed the cookie jar and didn't get caught. Saturday was a washout as it was so I spent a good part of the day working on the church newsletter I do monthly. Today Carol and I traveled to my mother's to winterize her windows. It was fun to visit with her and she had made a hardy chicken noodle soup and sandwiches for lunch. Now that we're home I'm finishing off the day watching by football games and some computer projects.

Winterize windows?

Hi Bernie,
Actually it's called a window insulation kit. Even though my mother has double pane windows she was feeling a draft getting through. Double sided tape along the inside of a window, place a sheet of clear plastic across the window and attach it to the tape then go over it with a hair dryer to smooth it out. Well be doing our windows also just to try to keep the house a little warmer with less heating.
