It was just a few posts ago that I was lamenting that I was tired of my summer warm-weather clothes and wanted cooler weather. This morning we have not cool weather but cold weather. I am grateful I have a heavy winter coat to wear when I go to the Grace Village brunch buffet around 11 a.m. I am also wearing a warm nightgown and my winter bathrobe since yesterday.
Winona Lake is on the edge of the so-called lake-effect snow band. Last night as I watched on TV Notre Dame and Navy play football in South Bend, the snow was falling pretty good. We had been forecasted to have snow but that it would not accumulate. As you can see in the photo, that is not true. We will get more snow tonight, and the temperatures will remain in the 30's until Wednesday.
I have not been going outside the house much the past few weeks, but besides the Sunday brunch today, I plan to start back to my ladies' Bible study tomorrow morning and to choir practice in the afternoon.
I wish I had less pain from the incision and the bruising, but it is reducing some. If it follows the pattern of the right side, it will be around week 5 that I feel good. Two and a half weeks to go.
We are meeting some family from Michigan on Thursday at the Bluegate restaurant in Shipshewanna. They joined us last year for Thanksgiving but had poor road conditions for driving home. We could see that the roads would be good on the 13th, so we all decided to get together earlier than Thanksgiving.
I was planning to stop using my walker on Tuesday, but I will stop a day earlier (Monday) so at least I will not have to struggle using that in Monday's snow. Today, my husband will drop me off at the main door which has a covered porte-cochere. We adapt when we can.
