Bill relaxing! We are sleeping close to the bridge tonight!

Bill snow blowed the driveways and I shoveled a path on the deck and the front porch. I talked to Vikki for a while.  Bill showered and then went to his VA appointment.  It was a good appointment.  All his pre test results for his upcoming bladder and prostrate tests were good and they told him his chances of having cancer are small.  Great news!  Thanking Jesus!

When he got home, we finished packing, had some toast and coffee, and left for West Branch.  The roads weren’t too bad, slushy in some spots.  We got to our destination at about 1:40.  We couldn’t check in to our motel until 3, so we looked for a car wash because the truck had so much dirty snow on the sides of it.  One looked too small and the other car wash was closed.  Bill decided to go in one where you wash it yourself.  Nice to have all that cleaned off.  We went to G’s pizza and each got a 7” pizza!  Yum! It was delicious.

We checked into our motel and relaxed in our nice room for a while.  In the evening we went to the Lumberjack Restaurant and ate dinner with Ziggy and Tiny.  I had the half order of pan fried cod.  It was so good.  Jay and Jane called to say they and Al and Lucy were coming to the restaurant we were at in a half hour.  We waited for them and while they ate, we had half desserts.  I had strawberry shortcake and Bill had brownie and ice cream dessert.  We visited for a long time, then came back to our hotel and relaxed more.
