Today was another cloudy and cool one with a few showers thrown in throughout the afternoon. John didn't have a good night, so he spent the morning resting and catching up on his sleep. I finished up the Christmas cards and got the December birthday cards ready for the post office. After resting all morning, John felt he needed some exercise, so we took a short walk around the golf course. It still gets painful for John to walk for any length of time, so this clinched the decision to have the MRI. We're just waiting to hear back from the doctor as to when he can get it.

After lunch, Ralph R. stopped in to check up on how John was doing and stayed for an hour or so visiting. The other day the propane tank on the grill ran out so after Ralph left, we decided to make a quick run to the post office and then onto Del Rio and Amistad Propane to get the tank refilled. We then made another stop at Home Depot to pick up a new battery for the cordless drill. By now it was time for supper, so our final stop was Wendy's for a quick meal before hitting the road back to the fort. We ended our day watching some TV and working on the computer.
