My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts

Warming up nicely…snow almost gone.

Our retirement group met for lunch at Wildflower Bread. While eating near the fireplace outside, two ladies were walking around to tell us about a new credit union building opening soon. They also gave us each a $5 gift card for CRUMBL COOKIES. Surprised to learn that there is a location just down from Wildflower. We stopped in to get our free huge cookie. They are expensive but worth every penny.

I watched some of the Jan. 6 Capitol ceremony. Sad that none of the Republican leadership participated. Biden’s speech may not have mentioned Trump by name, but his message was clear.

A big thanks to Ed, my Tahiti roommate for setting up all our excursions.  Getting excited.
