Hello From Rockville

I found a string of lights and put them around the front patio door, I have them on the inside, just too cold to put them up outside, we are on the west slightly to the north.

Because it is cold I didn't want to take Harlan out so on the way into St. Cloud I made two stops one for gas and another at McKay's for an oil change appointment. Then I picked up McD coffee and brought in the cookies we had left over from yesterday's stop at McD, and wouldn't you know as soon as I brought out the cookies Harlan remembered I hadn't eaten my share of the cookies and he knew they were mine, he was willing to eat half of them and he shared a chocolate chip cookie with me that was left for him to eat for his afternoon snack.

At 3:00 we went to the dinning area and he played bingo, he is doing really well at finding the numbers, he needs very little help from me. After bingo we took a little rest then it was time for me to leave. I had just gotten to the car and my phone rang it was Harlan and he needed to know if tomorrow was Sunday, I try not to talk about Sunday as he worries so about it. He said someone there had told him tomorrow was Sunday so that secret is out and we'll see how it goes this evening, I hope he sleeps well.

He has gained some weight and one thing I have noticed he does not complain about being cold and that's a very good thing. He very seldom mentions cold feet, that could change with the colder outside temps.

He did mention that his squeak was back in his shoes but nothing was mentioned about yesterday and the trips to the elevator to check things out.

Until tomorrow have a good night.......Fran
