First Snowman . . .

snowman
This is the first snowman I've seen this winter.  I was on my way to the post office with a couple boxes.  Pretty good job, but he has very skinny twig-like arms.  

I started the new year out feelin pretty good in the morning, then feelin poorer and poorer as the day went on.  I wasn't really sick, just didn't feel right or good.  I'm better today, but still not over whatever got me.  

Glad the holiday season is over.  Since I've been retired and not workin during the winter, it gets very confusin.  For example, yesterday was a holiday, but it also seemed like a Sunday, but it was only a Tuesday.  Today is Wednesday, but it seems like a Monday.  Last week was the same way.  Seems like there have been an awful lot of weekends and Mondays lately.  Am I the only one that gets confused this time of year???

Last Monday ( the real Monday of this week) I was very restless.  So I went to Defiance to wander around the big box stores.   I started out at the mall.  I don't go there very often.  Usually it is an in and out trip to Sears.  I wandered the hallway.  I found an internet cafe.  I'm not sure what an internet cafe is all about, but I was surprised there was one in Defiance.  I didn't go in.  Not curious enough to see what it is all about.  Sometime I'm gonna go through the Elder Berman store.  Another place I can't recall bein in.  

Next stop was the Walmart.  This store seems larger than the local Walmart.  I spotted a lady around my age with those stars tatooed on the side of her face.  Since I've never been a fan of tatoos, just mentally shrugged my shoulders, shook my head and wandered on.  Walmart has their Valentine Cards and candies out and ready to be purchased.  Not 100% positive, but I think they waited till Christmas was over.  Back in the camera area, I spotted a display of photo film.  It caught me off guard.  I didn't think anyone used film anymore.  Everything was in green boxes.  I think green is Fuji.  No yellow Kodak to be seen.  They fooled around and put themselves pretty much out of the camera business.  Kind of ironic, because I think they invented the digital camera.  

My wanderins through the Meijer store, Lowe's and Menards were pretty ordinary.  Sometime I'm gonna go wanderin through Kohl's.  Never been in the Defiance store.  I think I have been in a Kohl's store somewhere.
