The temps were a little warmer this morning when we left the house for our walk.  The fort is settling into its winter routine now that the holidays are over and school is back in session.

Following breakfast, John headed off to wood carvers and while he was gone, I did some work on the finances and laundry.  Most of the winter Texan carvers are back and they had a full group this morning.  When carving was over, some of us met at Burger and Shake for lunch.  Tim and Mary Ellen arrived last night, so this gave us an opportunity to visit with them and catch up.   They have rented a different place this year, so we stopped over to get a tour and to drop off the items they stored at our place over the summer.

Since the golf course was closed today, John got his golf fix by going to the driving range and working on his swing.  The jigsaw puzzle I won on Ebay arrived in the mail today, so I spent some time this afternoon working on it.  We planned to watch the Notre Dame game this evening, but with a score of 28-0 at half time, we gave up on that and watched something else before calling it a day.
