I Can't Think of a Title

It was up to 65 this a.m. (How old-school is our thermostat??)

Once Linda turns the heat off at the end of winter, she never turns it back on unless it's snowing again.  It's one of her rules.  Even though there was a freeze 2 nights ago, it did not matter.  The house was really cold when she got home from teaching last night, but oh well.  The heats off now.  (Of course when the kids lived here she would turn it on again when Tier complained.  Taylor could live with no heat the entire winter.) 

Linda with her friend Connie at a Baltimore Aqua Convention

Linda is so glad that her Water class was cancelled last night.  The heater in the pool was broken and the water temp was hovering around 70 degrees.  That sounds warmish, but she said for a aqua class it would be unbearable.  Imagine how cold she would have been if she spent an hour in the pool and then came home to a 63 degree house?  Jerry was still out walking us since she was an hour early getting home.  When Linda saw us on the sidewalk, she slowed down and opened the window to say hi.  Jerry told her I sprinted after the car for 6 houses at top speed trying to catch her!  We did the long trail walk which takes us over an hour.  Both Chim and I were ready for an early bedtime which was fine by Linda.  We were all snug in our beds before 10 p.m.

The fence fairy came while Linda was at work yesterday afternoon!  Look at how brand new that section of fence looks.  As a surprise, Tom came and power washed one section to show Linda how nice it could look if it was actually cleaned.  Too bad the neighbors didn't plant a bunch of those pink and white trees along their fence line.  Nothing grows in our backyard.  Once Linda planted an entire row of trees, azaleas and forsythia along the fence.  Every single one died but this guy. 

It looks so lonely.
