More to get rid of

 Yes it just seems like there is to much, and where does it all come from. Breakfast was cold cereal, banana and coffee. It is so nice to sit in the back yard in the evening. I am thinking of deleting my Costco Visa card as I will not be using it much and the yearly fee is higher than the rebate. This afternoon Alden, Gina and I played hand and foot, we have not played it for awhile. Alden was the winner.

Finishing touches

 Breakfast was cold cereal and coffee. More fixing to be able to put the wheelchair in my closet and still leave two large suitcases in my closet. Yes it is a large closet but still has to be arranged right. I am going to go outside for a while as this is the time I like it out there.

In the evening Alden and Gina went in the back to get some things in order and I went back there for about three hours and we just admired how it looked with solar lights on the fence.
