Sunday - January 19

On our way to Mass, we stopped to say good bye to Todd and Cindy (our euchre and rummikub buddies) who left today for Colorado.    They'll be selling their home and becoming full timers.   We'll see them in October.

Off to 9:30 Mass at St. Francis with Father Steve and then stopped for iced coffees at "Take Two Coffee" and on home.   It's crazy windy today, but warm.....we'll savor this warmth cause this is the last before the cold and rain come next several days.

Around 3:45, the heavens opened up - wow!    Didn't last too long but a nice downpour to refresh the landscape!    We picked Mark and Brenda up at 4 and off to downtown to try "Sip and Sizzle" brand new restaurant that just opened January 6th.    This was formerly First Street Restaurant - nothing fancy but good breakfast//lunch place that we ate at one time.   Ian came along in 2022 and did major damage and flooding to the restaurant.    They called in their staff to clean things up and reopened a few days later serving food to first responders, etc., only to be shut down a day or so later cause of mold in the walls.    The First Street Restaurant never came back and now this new "Sip and Sizzle" opened after 20 months of renovations.    It is beautiful and very busy - hope they will do well.    All enjoyed our food and the ambiance!    Soon, they plan to open for breakfast and lunch!   Great catching up with Mark and Brenda

Mark, Brenda, Pat, Mark

On home....zoom at 8 with 10 siblings!    Missing Sharon but plenty of discussion on the weather and the frigid COLD up north.
