We had our first cool night with temps dropping into the upper 40's--that called for heavier sweatshirts and no deer flies on our walk this morning. John and I were up a little earlier since we both had places we needed to be this morning.

Right after breakfast, John headed to JD's where he spent the day helping him install a ceramic tile floor in his bathroom. I went up to Sara's for a haircut and when that was done, stopped over at JD's to see how the floor was coming along. They had about half the tile down, and it looked nice with the new paint job.

This afternoon I ran into town to the post office and the drug store. While there I saw Valada Sandwick--she and Dave are back in Bagley for a month or so before returning to Fort Clark. She told me they came home to quite a mess-mold growing all over everything in their little house and have been cleaning from top to bottom for the past week.

When I got home from town, I decided it was a good time to clean out the freezer in garage and get it defrosted. It was warm enough that it didn't take any time at all for the built-up ice to melt and to get the freezer wiped out and everything stored back inside. That should take care of that job until next spring. We spent a quiet evening watching some TV, reading, and working on the computer.
