Happy Birthday Anna

Tom got me up at 4:38. He's getting a little better after our talk.

Mario Chacon called James today. He is building another house and he would like James to look at the plans. James called Armando and asked him to pick up the plans. When Armando went to get the plans they weren't ready, as revisions need to be made and they probably won't be ready until next month. 

James and I picked up the Crane's garbage and took our garbage and theirs to the dump. Chuck said to James when he saw me in the car:

"Karen goes to the dump with you?" James explained that we were going to town afterwards. 

Our first stop was at La Casita for lunch. James changed it up a little by getting a shredded beef enchilada with green sauce instead of chicken. He did have his standard order of refried beans. I had my normal chicken enchilada with red sauce. The lunch was delicious and really hit the spot. 

Our next stop was Walmart for a few groceries: yellow squash and mushrooms, salad kit, bread, Malt-o-Meal, Grape Nuts, toilet bowl cleaner, a phone charger cord, Omega 3 and two supplements for James. 

I saw Jeanne Jameson buying Dr. Pepper and it made me like her even more than I already do, 

I listen to "A Hopeful Proposal" while I walk. I wind up in cat prison/heaven when I got to relax on the family room recliner. Tom loves the soft green blanket. 

Sammy and Blackie got into a big, 3 round fight today. James said he felt like Sammy was winning but after each round he pants hard. The last round ended up in Blackie running off. I thought maybe he was gone for good, but no such luck. He was back again for dinner this evening. When Blackie eats he acts like he's starving, he gulps and swallows. Sammy is nowhere to be seen. No I am worried about him.

James watched the newest Hallmark movie with me this even, "Love on the Amazon." The movies in January are called 'Winter Escape'.

This was a good one and was actually filmed on the Amazon in Brazil. We both enjoyed it. Tom laid on my lap on the soft green blanket and slept through the entire movie.
