Supplies in

Good morning,
So we have a cooling trend and some snow on the way. Cooling for the rest of the week and a bit of snow tomorrow. We did have a dusting of snow here yesterday. The northern half of the state has roads with slippery stretches to impassable. Some schools in the northeast are delayed or closed. Winter is coming. I see on the webcam, the snow in Enschede is pretty well melted. Everything looks very wet and not pleasant weather at the moment.
We did get a call to Pim yesterday. Instead of waiting until noon, Margriet called before going to Bible study (Don't think she could wait), which was afternoon there and about the time Pim was home from school. He was very pleased to get the package we sent with a "beautiful airplane" in it. The airplane was a kit to put together. Wood and tissue kind to put together. Hope Onno enjoys the process too! :-) These types of kits are hard to find any more and are considerably more expensive than the 29-49 cents we used to pay for them when I was a kid.
We had an unusually large group of folks at Bible study yesterday. Don't know what the reason was. Actually there were too many there. It would have been great if I could have split them into two groups, but they will not hear of that. Makes for better discussion with fewer folks, everyone has a better chance to express themselves. We really did have some good discussion, but with too few participating. We almost completed a whole page in the workbook too.
Sure bought a lot of "normal" supplies yesterday. Seems like everything was running out at the same time! Then when we did get home, could hardly find a place to store it. Not too sure how that happened. We still had things on the list to buy, but ran out of money so will wait until next time. While we were in Green Bay, the wind came up and the temperature was dropping, making for some really cold feeling to these old bodies. The high humidity didn't help any either. I really was surprised at how few shoppers were in the stores we stopped at. There were plenty folks, but not as many as I had expected. Not complaining at all. The price of gasoline dropped a couple more cents yesterday too. Also like that.
One of the purchases was an annual tradition for me. I picked up the Alaska magazine with a free calendar included. I really like the magazine and used to have a subscription to it. The photos are outstanding as are the stories. I really like the calendar and one has hung above my desk forever. Yes it is a new one every year.
The deer season was better than expected in Wisconsin this year. The total deer taken was up about 3% over last year and 17% higher in the northeastern part of the state. Talking to the folks here, there were far less taken than last year. Not too sure why. We didn't hear as much shooting this year either. Wonder how the crew did at camp.
I did get an email back from the wall furnace company, telling me what to change. Will do that today and see if it makes a difference. Sure hope so. I have to move the thermostat sensor farther away from the main flame to cool it off some. It is short cycling, so doesn't heat up to what it should. Really would like it warm in here. Pilot light is still causing a problem now and then too.
Slept really late this morning, so better finally get the day a-going.
In Christ My Saviour,
