The Deluxe.....

5:10 am - Thursday - November 15th - Campbellsville, KY - 34º F (feels like 31º F), 97% humidity, wind 3 mph out of the east.....heavy cloud cover today with rain/possible snow and a forecast high of only 38º F.  Began raining around 7 pm Wednesday and continued without interruption through the night and is still raining as I write.  Snow may be coming mid morning......we shall see.

Our second day of our 'weekend' began much like the first day of our weekend with us doing little to nothing.  The temp was 30º F when we got up, and barely made it to 37º late afternoon.  That rascally wind was making it seem much colder than it was.  

We lazed around until after 11 am when we finally got dressed and drove into Campbellsville to have coffee at Harden Coffee......our hangout place........



.....I used the opportunity to wear my Peacoat which I bought last February in Flagstaff at the Savers Thrift Store.  It was in rough shape when I bought it ($11.99) and needed to be dry cleaned, but I could tell it was a quality piece, and just needed a little TLC.  The dry cleaning was done in April just before we left to make our one month journey to Maine.  The dry cleaning took all the wrinkles out of it, and removed the stains, and lint.  I put it away in my back closet and, frankly, forgot about it until a few days ago.  Well, Wednesday was the perfect day to break it out and inaugurate it, so I did.  TLE has had a Peacoat for years, and I always loved the 'look'.  She broke hers out too and we looked kind of like 'Bobbsey Twins' at the coffee shop.  We chose to sit at the front of the coffee shop looking out upon the local scenery and weather sipping our coffees and reading for about an hour.  

From Harden's we motivated over to Walmart to pick up a few necessities before heading back home by 1:30 pm, and that was our day in a nutshell.  Much time spent elevating legs and feet, napping, and just generally enjoying not walking around the concrete bunker across the street.

TLE made anchovie pizza for dinner......what a treat!  She buys a 'Red Baron Special Deluxe' pizza as her base and then adds anchovies, olives, mushrooms, and more cheese.  It tastes like she made it from scratch, and can she make a pizza from scratch? You bet!  Anyway, that pizza made my day, and now I have a few pieces left over to eat cold on Thursday......nothing better than cold anchovie pizza!

We watched a few of our recorded TV episodes before hitting the rack shortly after 8 pm.  TLE volunteered to work the 5 hour morning shift (6:30 am to 11:30 am) at Amazon Thursday, and I will be working the 5 hour afternoon shift (12 pm to 5 pm).  On Friday we will resume our regular programming with four more 10 hour shifts......wash, rinse, dry, repeat.
