Good morning gang.  Greg is still off for another week, so I won&#39;t have the house to myself for a while.  He has gone to the steel yard this morning to find another piece for the mailbox he is making, but should be home anytime.  I really need to go to the bank and to the grocery store, but may put it off until tomorrow.  I have a pot of beans soaking and will use some of that ham in them, today.  About midnight, I did start taking the decorations off the tree, still have a long way to go but got one box packed up and will try to finish it up today.  Well, best get to my chores - just wanted to check in....
