The cold spell broke and the thermometer will be creeping upwards again. Joey and I didn’t do a lot of walking the last two days, as the wind was horrible, making it feel like 10°.
I made three trips to Chanhassen this week - to clean for Ben and Jill on Thursday, to celebrate Ben’s birthday on Friday, and to watch the twins play basketball yesterday.
I made lasagna and lemon poppyseed cake for his birthday and Lois and Dennis joined us - she made a yummy salad to go with the lasagna. We had a nice visit. Ben told me that he was asked just this week what his favorite cake was and he told them lemon with a light glaze. I guess I made a good call on the birthday cake.
Minnesota gives a renters rebate for lower income folks and our previous Service Coordinator would help those who had trouble filling out the forms. The current gal is unable to do it, so I volunteered to help out. It is a short form that takes about 15-20 minutes to fill out and then, come September a nice little deposit is made to your bank account (about $550 for me this year). I have done two so far and have another 4-5 signed up.
