Fact: Sudan has more pyramids than any country in the world! <\/strong>Not only does Sudan have more pyramids than Egypt, but the numbers aren’t even close. While 138 pyramids have been discovered in Egypt, Sudan boasts around 255.<\/em><\/p>\n

We were up early to take The Silver Fox to the beauty parlor and get his oil changed; the 20,000-mile checkup was due. We had a 10:00 AM appointment at the dealer and a 10:00 AM appointment with our handyman. So, we decided to take the car in early!<\/p>\n

On the bright side, I got to meet the neighborhood roosters; I wanted to see what they were crowing about! Today, we put up the Valentine’s Day decorations, including decorating the holiday tree with hearts.<\/p>\n

Mary asked me a strange question,\u00a0“What’s the difference between ignorance and apathy?”\u00a0 I thought about it carefully and then answered,\u00a0“I don’t know and I don’t care.”<\/p>\n

The day was magnificent, and there was a little wind, so I attempted to get a snapshot of our last Christmas decoration, the flag!<\/p>\n

\"\"

The bottom flag says, “Merry Christmas from Mary & Paul.”<\/p><\/div>\n

We took both cars to the dealer, and I dropped mine off. The Lexus electronic wizard connected both of our iPhones to both vehicles while I was filling out the paperwork.<\/p>\n

On the way home I remembered that I sent my hearing aids in for repairs three weeks ago. I haven’t heard anything since<\/h3>\n

We returned home just in time for Tom to come in and begin the work:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Takedown the house Christmas lights<\/li>\n
  2. Put on the new Gazebo cover and tie the gazebo structure to the concrete<\/li>\n
  3. Connect the hallway bathrooms exhaust fans to the outside, properly<\/li>\n
  4. other miscellaneous stuff.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    \"\"

    Two of us on two ladders, but we got it done!<\/p><\/div>\n

    The last time we had a stiff wind, the gazebo “walked” and stuck one leg into the pool; it will not do it this time!<\/p>\n

    My latest ponderism, “Did Noah include termites on the ark?”<\/p>\n

    \"\"

    Getting the anchors installed was challenging as the concrete has rebar in it and the concrete bit did not like that!<\/p><\/div>\n

    We, Tom and Mary, and I placed six\u00a0 2x8s on the rafters so we could walk in the attic without having to stand on the rafters; it made working in the attic much easier! Mary made a quick lunch for me using soup, chicken, and sausage. It was delicious!<\/p>\n

    \"\"

    Chez C\u00f4t\u00e9 was open for business!<\/p><\/div>\n

    We worked until almost 3:30 PM and then decided to stop. We got into Precious and went to pick up the Silver Fox. We returned home and went to Jan’s to deliver some bean soup. A bottle of wine was somehow magically emptied while we visited for an hour.<\/p>\n

    We went to bed about 8:00 PM, and we were tired; it was a long but good day!\u00a0 I turned on the TV but my eyes were shut almost immediately.\u00a0 Whenever I lose my TV controller, I always find it in a remote location.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
