NOT the most depressing day of the year

SUNDAY
January 5 2014

Hubby has to go back to work tomorrow. His first day of work for 2014.

So we got up late. I slept until 10:00. Hubby came downstairs at 8:00 and fell asleep on the couch.

I made latte for him. He made burritos from the leftovers in the fridge.

Got dressed & took dogs for walk in the park.

Picked up the mail from Saturday before we left the icy driveway!

We parked on the West side of the park and walked the dogs in the sunshine!

Then we drove down to Bayview to feed the ducks. A little kitty came out and miaowed at us as we were feeding the ducks & geese. I broke up some cheese & bread for him. He was afraid to come out and see us. The kitty hid underneath the floats of a float home.

Some women came down to see us feeding the ducks. They were nice. Talked to us about coming down to see the eagles. We told them to go into Farragut Park to get a better view of them.

Then we drove to Garfield Bay (stopped to get a latte for me on the way). Took the dogs for another walk around the Marina. It was cold. The drawdown this year on the lake was about 20 feet. We walked down our dock, but could not find the mat that we had lost in the water last year...

On the way back, we saw a herd of Elk that were feasting on hay bales that a kind homeowner had put out for them. They were very pretty.

Drove up to Sandpoint and got deer food & bird seed at Big R. We left all the dogs in the car. Then drove over to Home Depot to get traction sand for the driveway. Bought two 60lb bags with hubby's gift card.

Got Jr. burgers for dogs at Arby's and fed them. Then we dropped our water payment off at the USPS office.

Drove home, and on the way stopped to see the new used dealership named Pierce's just south of Sandpoint. Hubby wanted to look at the Jeep Rubicon's.

Saw somebody get pulled over for speeding on the hill coming up into Athol. Saw beautiful sunset with fluffy pink clouds.

I made chili & a grilled cheese sandwich for hubby when we got home. He cleaned up his counter, I put away clean clothes, and hubby put away the snowman & deer from the deck.

Hubby accidentally fell outside on the glare ice when putting away the holiday decor. He is sitting on the couch now at 7:00PM.
