gray wet morning... super sunny afternoon

This morning was gray wet and WINDY !! But this afternoon the sky is super blue!! How typical of Missouri where the saying is : don't like the weather? Wait five minutes and it will be different.

Went to the grocery store for a pick up. I like to get a "spot" when possible... just in case.
The store has changed its procedure and physical pick up spot...but not different enough to be a problem.

It is nice to get out of the house. We can see what progress the demolition guys are making on the motel  at the front of our subdivision.
 We stayed in the motel the first night we all arrived from Michigan...2 cats, 1 dog, 2 adults and three kids, one of whom was super sick. We snuck the animals into our rooms only to find out years later that the motel allowed animals!!  oh well.
It was the week before Christmas and who likes to move then! Plus the kids didn't really want to move anyway.  The next day the temperatures dropped and I mean dropped. It was minus 16 F in the daytime and minus 20 F at night... The furnace ran and ran while the moving men had all the doors open and were lugging our stuff in!
None of us will forget that move!

BTW... they are tearing down the motel because it had really become uninhabitable and no none would buy it and renovate it. And sitting there getting more and more run down, no one would buy the property as a tear down... What the next step will be... no one knows.
   The demo guys separated everything into metal, concrete  etc ....and are recycling it all!!

Oh my! You really had a difficult move. Your weather is very much like Hawaii. There was a joke that only tourists run for cover in Hawaii. Locals know it will change in minutes. Seconds. Not really true, but that’s what they say.
