Aerie Report January 14, 2010

Beautiful day here at the Aerie. The sun came out early and stayed out all day. That, in turn, allowed the temperature to soar to 44 degrees by 3 PM.

Terry and I took advantage of the great weather to drive south to Williamsport and the Lycoming Mall. Grizzly Tools, Gander Mountain, and Borders Bookstore were our major stops. Got a couple tools while looking at the big ones. Bought a pair of insulated waterproof boots (Itasca). And, after lunch of pizza at the mall, we bought some books. Luckily they didn't have the full compliment of Jim Butcher's Codex Alera series. (There are six books and they didn't have #3, so I stopped with numbers 1 and 2. If I like them, I'll order the others on line or go to the Barnes & Noble up in Arnot Mall in NY.)

We drove through the city of Willimasport heading east on Fourth and then Third Streets going down. Coming back we went west on Third to Washington and then High Street. The return trip allowed us to stop at Mr. Stickies for a half dozen of the best tasting sticky buns you ever tasted. Thank goodness it's nearly 60 miles south of here! Still, the Jeep dealership is near by as are the stores mentioned above and a needlecraft store Terry likes.... And did I mention that the Black Swan Cafe in Mansfield gets Mr. Stickies delivered on a semi-regular basis? They put a sandwich sign out on the curb when they've just gotten a delivery. Yeah, they sticky buns are that good.

The cats were furious when we got home at 3:30 PM. That's FOUR HOURS after they normally get their lunch (the second half of a can of moist food). Forget that there's a bowl of dry food in the basement next to their litter boxes and water bowls. They were starving! Worse, we didn't bring any toys!
