Our walking alarm clock went off this morning at 7:00 am. Yes, Scout got up and proceeded to nudge the side of the bed, thus ensuring he would make it outside to do his business. It was in the 50s when we asked Alexa about today’s forecast. It was too cold to walk with Scout outside, so he went by himself.
What do you call a dog that’s playing outdoors in winter? A chili dog.
While Mary took her shower, I roamed the internet and found a picture of Iguazu Falls, a place we will visit in January 2026. It looked exciting and we could even see our hotel in the background. Iguazú Falls or Iguaçu Falls are waterfalls of the Iguazu River on the border of the Argentine province of Misiones and the Brazilian state of Paraná. Together, they make up the most extensive waterfall system in the world. The falls divide the river into the upper and lower Iguazu.

We will see this around the 10th of January 2026, in Igazau Falls, Argentina.
Today was watercolor day, so we went early to see where Mary’s artwork was displayed. Her three pieces, along with those of other members of her class, were in a long hallway.

Mary’s work is up and posted in the Senior Center
The “Walk In The Woods” was easily spotted on the north wall.

Looks great!
The other two entrances were on the hallway’s East (narrow) wall.

You can almost hear them buzz!

Stand up and salute!!
From the Senior Center, we went to the railway station, hoping to get tickets for our next adventure. Alas, all they had was a kiosk. We will have to call Amtrak to complete our reservations.
Going home, we decided to stop at Ace’s, where we had a glass of wine and I dove into the Ace’s Burger, which was really good. With all the medications I am taking, it felt like I needed salt, but the doctor said to stay away from salt, so I did!
As we left, a new friend bought us a glass of wine. He said he had been observing us while sitting at the bar, and it looked like we were in love (we didn’t know it showed), so he wanted to buy us a drink!

Siet? What diet?
We got home around 4:00 pm, and it was cold outside. We brought the house to 76 degrees, got into our jammies, and went to the TG room to watch The Blacklist for a couple of hours.
We crashed at 10:00 pm. It was an active but boring day!

A cup of Sleepytime Tea was the last thing I remember!
