I must apologize to you Dear Readers for my neglect at writing this ongoing tome. Its not that I have forgotten that you are there but I have forgotten that you are there. It's my fault and if I don't keep up my end please send me a message to prod me into action. Thanks in advance.
First, it is official. My Better Half's Travelling Relatives have returned to the Golden Horseshoe. They have purchased a new residence near their Kidlettes. No word on whether their place in Capital City has been cleared out and sold as of yet. We didn't get to see them all that often but most certainly enjoyed their company and the conversation when we did.
Our Senior Couch Monkey is looking to leave the nest but the fees charged for any apartment in the Valley is still out of his reach. He's a hard worker but the combination of hours worked and his current salary is not enough to get him his own place. We both told him that it will work out eventually. He may have to take on a roomie but the individual must be solvent as well. One thing I must say is that he is doing well in all concerns and I'm very proud of him.
The Oma-nator has not been doing so well. She's moving a little slower these days. She hasn't had a cold or anything so we are just taking things one day at a time.
My Better Half is shopping for a new set of wheels. We had gone up to River City for a test drive and we checked out some Smile Cars here but she didn't like them. We took two for a test drive yesterday and I think she has settled on a hybrid. I preferred the other one but it's not my set of wheels. I'm sure she'll be posting photos next week. As for the old car, she is selling it to the Jr. Couch Monkey for a nominal fee. He'll insure it under his name and will be responsible for maintenance and repairs. Due to the Beer Flu he still has to take his final road test.

Chef Blaine has made a batch of Moose Balls. Peanut butter, honey, oatmeal, dried fruit and nuts. There is no extra sugar added but it packs a punch. I think next time I'll get him to add some extra fine ground espresso to the batter.
Next week is the Senate Impeachment Trial of the Tangerine Tyrant. My Lobster doesn't believe the Senate will vote to convict. Constitutionally, the trial phase is to remove a sitting POTUS and he's no longer sitting so is it a moot point? The House of Reps, in their Articles of Impeachment, included the 14th Amendment that would allow the government to ban the Tangerine Tyrant from ever running for any office position again. Deep down I think this is the Dems primary objective - to punish the Orange Shit Gibbon for the four years of hell he forced upon the Hugh-ess. If the Senate is going to convict him there will need to be sixty-seven senators to vote in favour. Right now there are fifty Dems and maybe ten Rebs. If they want to convict him they'll have to spell out their evidence using witnesses who believe the Trumpster told them to storm the Capital. Charts and videos won't cut it. At any rate...I'll get the popcorn.
We've had a couple of nippy mornings. Nothing like the 'Peg or up in D. Creek where the temps have dropped to the mid minus thirties. Oh, and our daffodils are up four inches.
