On Being Somewhat Normal

On Friday, I determined that I would drive my decrepit body to the store around the corner for just a couple of supplies. Shauna has bought in a few aid packages, but we are slowly on the mend, so this was my bold plan.

Sue opined that we needed to take the car for a little drive because it had been sitting in frigid temperatures for a week. Tremulously, I turned the key, and my 2010 CRV, Hermione the Honda, started up on the first try.

Off we went on a little trip, maybe 20 minutes that would take us through the little hamlet of Appleton where there is a dam and where there once was a hydroelectric plant. In fact, the shell of it is still there.

We had to stop because the spray from the water going over the dam was very prettily icing up the nearby trees. I didn't get close enough to get a good photo because I didn't feel like trying to push through the snow. I just stayed by the road and did my best.

Sue pushed in a little farther.

We then treated ourselves to Tim's coffee and turkey bacon club sandwiches and took them to our spot near the park overlooking the river.

Of course, you know what is coming next . . .  😇

I really should have put my cap back on for the selfie,
but we had kept the motor running,
 and I was actually getting too toasty.

It was a treat just to get out as normal people tend to do, and the coffee and lunch in the car seemed like a feast.
