Intermittent Chores

Hello,



One car now has four new tires. Hopefully that will make stopping better, although we probably will not notice. It took some discussion to decide if we should get just two or four tires as all four were not equally worn. But Consumer Reports and Click and Clack agree that it is best to get four new tires so we went with that suggestion. The new used car might also need new tires soon, but only a mechanic knows for sure.



We also went out for lunch, not a chore, but we had a generous gift card we had not used because we had not managed to be at home together at the time when the idea came to mind. It was quite nice. I was pleased to find some vegetarian possibilities on the menu at this establishment. The amount of food was about right as well because we could have a half salad and half pasta.



After lunch we went to a book store, again Leroy has a gift card from his retirement. He found a couple books that are the beginnings of two different fantasy/si-fi series. Those will be donated to my library. So two benefit from this purchase; Leroy and the library.



Later we met with a financial adviser. Leroy is now 70 so he needs to take money from his pension fund, but because we are both working we do not need that money to live on at the moment. So we figured out where to stash it, but not under the mattress. I suppose we should get a new mattress too maybe they make them with money slits in them.



Just yesterday Leroy got another gift from church for his retirement. He was surprised, amazed, and pleased. Tonight he had the pleasing chore of writing a thank you.
