Good morning girls. It is a very chilly 19 here this morning. Supposed to warm into the 30's then start a warming trend tomorrow and be back into the 50's midweek. It says it is -2 up my son's way so I don't envy them. Their house is always cold in my opinion though the baby doesn't seem to get cold hands and such.
Jean: Guess either Bob didn't go or you opted out of the trip to Jason's. I absolutely hate Walmart's. Every one of them here is nasty, aisles crowded with junk, rude clerks if you can find one, even in the ritzy part of town. I go there to get stuff I can't get at the commissary because the only other grocery choices we have are a couple cheapo kinds down in the hood where I would never venture, Krogers, and another very expensive one call Schnucks so it is cheapest to go to Walmart. Jack and I completely quit going to the Walmart Neighborhood market that is about a mile away. It is frequented by huge numbers of Welfare people, if you know what I mean, and getting checked out or help or anything is impossible in there. We finally got fed up shopping there at all. I like the Meijers they have in Indiana, but their home base is Holland Michigan I think and I have been in one up there and it is nasty like the Walmarts. I suspect it is the area like it is here.
Susan: So glad Stan is home and comfortable or at least as comfortable as he can be given his current situation. Enjoy your snow for the few days it will stay and keep it, I don't even want to see any!
I did get the downstairs cleaned and a fair amount of work done on the sweater. I should tackle the upstairs today, but since Jack is home again tomorrow, I may either do part and finish tomorrow or do it all tomorrow. I would really like to get a good part of the sweater finished. This and the yellow is yarn I bought with a gift card I got for my birthday. Looks like I have enough that I may make a yellow and red striped one for my friend in Indiana who asked me to make the purses for her birthday. I think it would look pretty as a striped sweater. I may do a test striping to see.
Everyone have a great Sunday and I wil talk to you all tomorrow.

Our Walgreen's is scheduled to open the end of January. The biggest problem will be parking and the idiots in this town who don't know how to drive let alone park. They made the few single row parking spaces straight in rather than at a slant. There's no parking on the two side streets and the other two sides are highways. Should make for accidents waiting to happen since the intersection is already the biggest accident site in town. They should have picked a bigger location I'm thinking. I'm anxious for it to open . . . I may never have to go to WM again! 
Our "better" grocery store has gone downhill since the new manager has come to town -- the bakery has cut way back on the quantity of muffins, cookies, etc., that they make. If you go later in the day those shelves are bare.
