The Weatherman Was Right

The weather forecast called for our daytime highs to be near thirty degrees today and that is exactly what happened.  After being below zero for much of the past week, it really did feel almost balmy outside.

First thing this morning, the electric company sent a service person out to remove the meter for rippling the electric heat.  Since we installed a low temp alarm, we felt there might possibly be a problem if the heat is rippled for any length of time while we're away.  We'll see what the cost is this winter without ripple and decide if that's what we want to do in the future.

Since it was such a nice day, John and I decided to return the extra tile, cement board, and tile cement to Home Depot.  We received a store credit for the returned items so we spent some of it on a couple of small rugs for the laundry area.  It was a little afternoon when we left HD, so we stopped at BK for a quick lunch before making one more stop at Menards on our way out of town.

We took a little detour on the way home to stop in at Matt's to see how Sam was doing.  He was released from the hospital this morning and seems to be doing okay.  He is on some pain killers and walks a little crooked, but he will probably head back to school on Thursday as it's the end of the semester and he has some tests to take.  Sam has some restrictions about lifting anything heavy and running and will be out of basketball until after the first of the year.  The doctor said he is young and in very good shape, so the healing process should be pretty fast.

Once we got home, John got the downstairs bathroom back in operating mode and then we headed up to the school for the Concert Band and JH Band winter program.  Hanna plays the bass clarinet in the Concert Band with Josh and Rachel playing in the JH Band.  Josh plays the French Horn and Rae plays in flute.  It was a very enjoyable evening.
