We got things all where it belonged and Ted started cleaning up the coach house. Dust was covering everything! He went to get the garbage can from the fenced area behind the coach house and two bushes had grown into trees! He couldn’t even begin to enter the area. The fellows that do the landscaping were two doors down so he went and asked one if he could cut it all down and haul it away. He did and Ted gave him $20. He didn’t want to take it but Ted insisted. We had no tools and no way to dispose of it so we were happy.
I putzed around inside and got our shrimp ready for our evening at the gun range. We went down to the range and visited with folks while enjoying burgers and hot dogs until it got dark. We all oohed and aahed over Saturn and Jupiter being closer than they have been in 800 years! Some terrific photos have showed up on the internet, much better than anything we had seen because of the clouds passing by. After a time, everyone started leaving and then came back. The Border Patrol had apprehended 6 illegals and had the road block and needed about 15 minutes more to process them before we could get through. Ted helped Niles load up the generator so by the time we left the road was open. Such is life here on the border. I can’t even fathom what it will be like if Biden actually opens the border to every Tom, Dick, Harry and family. Just come on in. No means of support, most cannot speak English, but they are welcome. Whatever!
Tuesday Ted went to Mission Skeet Club to shoot and I played mahjong for the first time since last March. It is the 2020 card that I ordered last March to have but it was my first time playing with it. Out of four games, I won two! Who knew?
We ate dinner in the coach house because Ted has been messing with lighting and wanted to see what it looked like after dark. It is getting there!
Wednesday it reached 90 degrees and we think our front AC isn’t’t functioning properly. The AC runs, cycles, but the air feels warm and it never gets to 72 to shut off! The back one works fine but it doesn’t have the sun beating in on a huge windshield. We will probably deal with it after the holidays unless we can get Matt here sooner.
Tonight we went to Niles and Sue’s house where they were having a fish grill. I made smoked sausage and 4 color peppers because Ted isn’t a big fish eater. Turns out he ate both and all was left in my casserole dish was a few peppers. It was a great dinner finished off with peach cobbler and Blue Bell.
Tomorrow is Christmas Eve and we haven’t decided if or where we will attend church. Christmas is always so busy so social distancing is going to be difficult. I won’t go into a crowded church disregarding the distancing and masks. But there is no way to know so stay tuned to see how this turns out!
