Couldn't Get Warm

It got down to 34 degrees outside last night and it was cool in the house but cooler outside today. All my foliage shades me in the summer and in this transition season still keeps thing cool. I finally decided to pack up the dogs and go for a ride with the car heater on. Then I remembered it was Tuesday and scooted to the 789 Casino. It didn't take me long to gamble away my free $5.00. Harry and Irene F. were there. I bought this place from them over 35 years ago. Irene loves to gamble. She had to go home from the grandkid's birthday party before the cake was served because her oxygen was low and her generator couldn't keep up a couple of weeks ago. She was just fine without any apparatus today. And she had some winnings in hand. I dined in and they got their free lunches to go. The casino served penne pasta with marinara sauce and two generous meatballs, garlic toast and tossed salad with dressing of choice and a soft drink. I was warmed by the coffee shop, the tasty grub and the warmth and generosity of the Northern Arapaho tribe. It really seemed a treat today.

I came home and attacked a new corner of the house and made significant progress. I need to keep at it-the time is getting shorter and shorter and the list is still long.
