It has been a week.....

Good afternoon from a chilly Fairbanks...

It is afternoon, and it is currently 39 degrees F.

Busy, busy, busy...  I am now a licensed driver in Alaska with a True ID license coming my way in the mail in the next few weeks.  I have Gaddy the Caddy scheduled for new Feet (studded tires with the proper compound for 40 below temps and she is getting her innards set with heaters, warming pads and trickle chargers to stay warm when she is parked outside.  She lives in a heated garage so she will be warm when she is at home.

I find myself fixing things up to suit the way I live.  The furniture that came from a local shop arrived on Wednesday.  Rob and Kate's bed is beautiful, solid wood.  They ordered two night stands and the one has it's far feet on the rail for the closet.  It has draweres underneath on both sides and doors that open up at the foot for more storage.

My recliner came too.  It is a very nice, a tad lighter brown than the one I left behind with swirls of a darker brown throughout the material.  It heats the seat and back when pressed and vibrates the lower back as well.  Right now, it is facing the new TV in the craft/sewing room.  I am looking for a suitable stand to put it in and then everything will move to the opposite corner of the room.  But seein as how I still have no word on my belongings, it is a very big room, so it is no problem.

I switched my phone service today to AT&T.  No worries, I moved my phone number to the new service, so there is no need to learn a new number for me.  I also got a new phone.  My old one was beginning to have charging issues and a wireless phone is of no use if it cannot charge.  I got a Galaxy Note 10.  It has a bigger footprint and is easier for me to hold and the icons and letters are bigger which helps aging eyes.

Rob & Kate were here for the better part of the day.  They arrived a tad after 8AM.  Kate was teaching an early morning Tai Chi class.   Rob had an 11AM conference call,  Kate returned before he was done.  They had lunch.  Then Rob and I went out to the Post Office, then took my garbage to the Transfer Station before heading to AT&T to set me up on their account.  I was able to keep my number from Verizon and purchased my new phone.  Everything transferred from the old phone just fine, but I have to re-enter user names and passwords.

Tonight I made a double batch of Copper Pennies from the carrots I picked this week to take to DND tomorrow night.  It will seem strange to see all of the players in real size instead of three or four inches tall.

So, all is well.  Still plugging along getting the kitchen organized.  No word on the furniture.  Guess I will be calling on Monday,

Have a great weekend.
