O Tannenbaum . . .
Jan spent the early afternoon decorating our Norfolk Pine Christmas Tree and it came out very nice. It fits perfectly on the dining room table and looks really good.
After a late lunch of our King Food leftovers from last weekend, I headed out a little about 3:30 for a few errands, with my first stop at the Dollar General over in Willis to get another bottle of Awesome cleaner. I’d just about used up my old bottle trying to clean the drilling mud off the roof of our RV, so it was time to restock.
Then I walked next door to the AutoZone to get a 12v accent light. Our big analog clock that hangs over the driver’s chair can be hard to see at night when we’re watching TV, so I thought I’d find one of those small white LED lights that people use in their cars. It took a few minutes but I found exactly what I needed.
Next I stopped off at the Kroger’s gas station to fill up at $2.29 a gallon with my Kroger’s card. Since we’re driving down to Clear Lake tomorrow, we won’t have to fill up along the way.
Last up, I made quick stop by the Kroger’s itself to pick up a couple of things, including a new bottle of coffee creamer to replace the new bottle I just bought a couple of days ago.
Why, you might ask?
Well, when I put the big bottle of creamer back on the top shelf of the fridge after our coffee this morning, I made sure the pop-up top was fastened down, but didn’t notice that the entire top had loosened on the bottle, which spent the day slowly emptying down through the shelves to pool in the bottom.
In other words, a mess.
So I spent the early evening starting at the top and emptying each shelf, cleaning off the food, and then putting everything back as I worked my way down. I only did about two shelves at a time, and then took a 15 minute break so the food didn’t get too warm.
I’m double-checking the top from now on.

Looks like he’s got the Ninja Turtles down pat.
Tomorrow Jan and I are meeting all the kids down in Clear Lake about 11:30. First we’re eating lunch at Floyd’s Cajun Seafood and then going over to our storeroom so we can all go through the last of the stuff to see what everyone wants. Hopefully we’ll be out by the end of the year.
