Windows - Delivering Turkeys - Thanksgiving -Decorating

 Auburndale, FL (Hi  83   Lo 65)

Winter time in Florida is great for washing windows. It finally cools down enough on some days to turn off the AC and open all the windows. Little tiny bugs and spiders get between the screen and windows. They turn black with mold too so it's a job getting it all clean. They have to be cleaned by Clorox and then I spray with bug repellant which lasts a few weeks. We don't get rain very often in the winter so it stays nice most of the winter. It took all day to do all the windows, especially in back of the house by the lake. The back windows face west and it's hot by early afternoon so we had a time crunch to get them all done. 

Wednesday Jim and I picked up turkeys at hospice at 10:30 and delivered them in Polk City a few miles north of us. We just happened to get to one place the same time the hospice nurse was there so he took in the turkey and the trimmings. They received a 16 lb frozen turkey, rolls, stuffing, potatoes, and cranberry sauce. We were back home by 1:30. It gave us a feeling of being helpful in covid 19 times. They were all very thankful. 















Thursday we went to Cracker Barrel for lunch/dinner. We wanted to get there by noon to beat most of the crowds and glad we did. There was less then a few minutes wait time with  lots of people already seated but not waiting outside. We had the turkey meal which was really good. I'm not fond of turkey and dressing, but I could have sweet potatoes and ham with green beans as a side. I forgot to take pictures. We went home for the rest of the day. Covid is on the rise, so they say, so we're staying low as usual. We don't get out much and the less we do the more lazy we get. 

Friday, we didn't do anything. I did get another crochet order done. I still have a big order, but smaller in size  need to make all keychains. 

Saturday,  We got  moving earlier then normal so we could beat the heat in putting up Christmas decorations outside. We thought we'd wait till Tuesday, but it's going to be cold, too cold to work outside. We got it all done by 1:30.  We added some lights and took away the reindeer and sleigh, sold that set. 


Tonight we have a full moon. 
We ended the day with a gorgeous sunset. A few minutes between the two pictures.

I have to agree to something you said. The less we do, the lazier we get.

I find I need to actually make a list of little things I want done. Otherwise it's sit and read, play computer games, watch a bit of tv, DO NOTHING.
