  I see we have some fresh snow on the ground, must be time to get some outdoor exercise in today!  Soon I will head outside and clear the walkways and driveway of snow.  This should not take to long, as it doesn't appear to be much more than a skiff of new snow on the ground.  I shall know soon enough, once I am fully dressed and out there.  Why clean the walkways at all?  Well for starters it's safer for the kids or anyone who will be out there waking this morning or later today!  In our northern climate even if the temp., does not get above the freezing point, If the sun can get at the bare ground, the sun will help melt and evaporate the surrounding snow.  This will help make it safer for the little trick or treaters come halloween night!
  Speaking of halloween night, the jury is still out on wether or not I get dressed up in some sort of costume, to pass out treats for the little ones!  Susan is off that day as well, and I have some more treatments at the chiropractors.  So depending on how my day goes, will determine what happens that evening.
  Susan has an early start at work today, so hopefully I will get the necessary priming done before she gets home.  Then depending on drying time, perhaps we can put on the second coat of paint after supper, or early this evening.  This would allow me to install the rest of the garage closet door frame and the last of the pocket door on tuesday afternoon.  Then possibly Susan can get right into the painting of the back entrance and kitchen on wednesday afternoon.  Hopefully finishing up on thursday, her last day off.  Yes I am quite the slave driver!  My, how our roles have reversed since my head injury.  NOT!  This is what happens when Susan, does not want me to have a paint brush in my hand, for certain jobs.
  Yesterday I made a huge garden salad!  So today, I just have to plan a meat dish, and some vegetables to add with it for supper.  I think I will pull some fish out to bake in the oven, and then have some steamer vegetables.  Something quick and easy.  I want to try and concentrate on finishing up with a few small projects in the garage, which mostly involve the 'cleanup' word.  Putting tools away, sweeping up my last mess, etc..  This should not take long, but is a necessary evil, it keeps every thing tidy and organized.  This way you can easily find things for the next job, and last but not least, no one gets hurt!  Another very important lesson we realized we have learned in our lives, as we are Building the Simple life.....................
