Leftovers and Hot & Sour . . .
After finishing up with my yearly dermatologist checkup this afternoon, my next stop was King Food for some Hot & Sour Soup to have with our Chinese leftovers from our Christmas Eve dinner there.
Ever since I had to have a Squamous Cell Carcinoma removed from my head back in 2014, I get checked up every year to be on the safe side.
Yesterday I mentioned the Storyworth subscriptions that Brandi and Lowell gave Jan and I for Christmas. Every week they will send us a question about our lives and then at the end of a year all the stories will be complied into a book. So today we got our first questions.
Jan’s was “What was your Mom like when you were a child?”
Mine was “What was your first big trip?”
Jan has already written a lot on her question, and I’ll get started on mine tomorrow.
The missing Priority Mail envelope finally showed up in Athens, AL this morning, after circling around Florida for a few days. Better late than never, I guess.
When we spent the night at Brandi’s on Christmas Eve, they were nice enough to give Jan and I their downstairs bedroom so I didn’t have to hobble upstairs.
And I was amazed to see the size of her shoe rack.
And since it’s completely full, I’ve got to believe that there’s an shoe rack overflow annex somewhere.
I don’t know where she gets it from.
I own four pair of shoes, and one of those is a pair of Crocs .

Happy Boxing Day 2021 . . .
With all the food we brought home yesterday, both from our meal at King Food Christmas Eve and leftovers from Christmas dinner, we decided to just hunker down at home today. So we never left the rig.
Nice and quiet.
Not only did we all get a lot of nice gifts yesterday, so did Brandi and Lowell’s dogs, Baxter and Jack. They got a Furbo Dog Treat Dispenser.

Not only can you see your pets and toss them a treat, you can also heard them and talk back to them.
Online several people wanted to know if you could use it for cats. Some said that they had tried, but the cats tended to just eliminate the middleman by jumping up on the counter and knocking the Furbo off onto the floor, and wait for the treats for fall out.
Smart cats.
Several readers wanted to know what a hoverboard was, like the new one Landon got for Christmas. This is a hoverboard.
You balance on it and lean in the direction you want to go. You can go forward, backwards, and even turn in place. And Landon rolls around the house like he was born riding it.
Last Tuesday I put a couple of Priority Mail envelopes in the mail, one going to Athens, AL, and one to Vernon, IL. Containing gift cards for cousins and niceces, the one going to AL was supposed to arrive by Friday the 24th, and the IL one by Monday the 29th.
However the one going to IL made it early and arrived by Friday. But the AL bound one ended up in FL, orbiting around between Lakeland, Tallahassee, and Orlando for 3 days before finally heading back toward Athens.
It should be delivered tomorrow. But we’ll see.
This is post-Christmas day in Houston, TX.
