Not much news yet...

Wrote this a couple of days ago and forgot to post it. We will walk again tomorrow so depending on how far we walk will be within a few miles of 100 mark. They added up quicker than I thought they would. We did walk on Saturday and I'm up to 98.5 miles. Today we would usually walk, but none of us feel like it. Quite cold out and we, Bill and I, have errands to do. 

There are mallards staying here now. Sure pretty colors. 

And he was around strutting his stuff. Don't see him all the time like we used to. Must have found a spot he likes better. 
No idea what he is but he/she usually has their wings spread out. Cooling down? Drying off? Showing off? No idea. 
More illegal fishermen in the river. And they were catching a fish every time they threw their lines into the water. Seemed to be throwing them back though. 
The art exhibit is still up and this is the third configuration of this particular piece. Reminds me of an octopus. ( The art exhibit was gone when we walked Saturday.)

Bill has been having a bunch of good days lately - fingers crossed - Keeping busy and getting in some short walks. Yesterday we went to the DMV to get his "Real" Identification Card, he had to give up his driver's license. He already had a "Real" driver's license so I was told he only had to turn it in and would get the ID card. Imagine our surprise when the clerk asked for his Passport...Luckily I had wondered about that so had it in my purse. Thank goodness. I guess it is because he was born in Argentina and they wanted proof he is a US citizen. But we'd already shown all that stuff when he got his driver's license. 

So far but only four days since last shot but no real difference in his sight out of that eye. Still hoping for the best. He gets his next shot on January the 10th. He can still read his Nook and look things up on the computer with the help of a magnifying glass. So we are thinking about getting out of the house sometime after his January shot. Before his February shot. Where should we go. 

Had to get gasoline in my car yesterday - While Bill was in the store giving the credit card info a maintenance guy came by and taped off the pump???  Luckily he was still there when Bill came out ready to pump the gas. Maintenance guy untaped pump and let us fill up. Gasoline here is still high $4.15 yesterday. In and out of the DMV in under an hour. Sure like their appointment system. 

My phone did an update the other day, what a mess to get things back the way I want them. It added a whole bunch of new apps - games and stuff I'd never use. Grrr. And I got a notice they improved the camera that told a bunch of stuff they "improved and added to it". Didn't understand most of it. So just ignoring it. Don't use the phone camera a lot anyway. 

Making lists for our trip.
