Another New Book!

February 9, 2020

Good morning.  It's only 6:27 am, and it is still dark outside.  I've been on the phone for a couple hours now trying to find out what is wrong with my cable TV picture.  It went out around 4 am, and it hasn't come back on yet.  It's annoying.

Friday afternoon, right after lunch, I started to do some serious work on my tax stuff, and worked on it until around 7:30 in the evening.  Then I put it away for the night.  After supper, I got to crochet for a while, and do a bit of reading about Abraham Lincoln.

Yesterday morning, Deanne came by and took Pogo and me shopping at Ocean State Job Lot.  Oh, what fun we had!  The only thing I could not get was the bird food.  I'll have to try getting it at the store closer to here.

I did find a new book that looked really interesting.  This one is called "EAT THIS, NOT THAT!"  It's good information to have for anyone trying to eat healthy.  There are other books like this available on Amazon.  (That's the only place I checked.  I'm sure it can be found on other sites.)

I'll post a few of the tips from the book every now and then in case anyone is interested.  Here's one that I did not know.

Most of the items in the book also list the sodium content.  This is the part that interests me.   One of my favorite pasta dishes is Fettuccini Alfredo.  Note the huge difference in calories between these two dishes, and the much lower sodium count in the Fettuccini Alfredo meal.

After that, we stopped at a Dollar Store and I got me a new batch of word find puzzle books, plus a few other odds and ends.  Pogo picked up a box of valentines so that he can send a few to his favorite doggie and human friends.  This was a really nice outing for Pogo and me. 

Deanne's update on the new kitten is that Nutmeg is a Piggie!  She eats everything in sight.  If Deanne won't give her more food, Nutmeg goes running to Eddie and purrs hungrily in his face so that he will go get her more food.  This is going to be one really fat kitty cat!  But, she is ever so lovable.  She just loves to cuddle. 

That wicked wind storm that came through here caused a lot of problems.  Every town and city around here lost electric power in part, or most, of the homes and businesses.  We were lucky not to lose the power in my part of the town. 

Now I think I'll refresh my cup of coffee and do a bit of blog reading.  So, till tomorrow, Y'all have a fantabulous day.

Hugs, Edna B.
