Presidents' Day! How are you celebrating (or spending) the day?

So far, not much action from me.
Sleeping late, as usual.
On my schedule - grocery shopping, and, if I'm really organized, an oil change for my car.
Hope there's something interesting on the tube tonight, including the Winter Olympics.

my little dogs so they can go outside without being carried. Abby is blind and Ty tries to leap over all the steps and I don't want him to get hurt.

At noon I'm going to watch two episodes of The Artful Detective on OVTV (Ovation TV). I love that show.

Stopped at the Bimbo Bakery Outlet for milk and bread. On Mondays they have a bread blowout sale of .79 per loaf. I picked up pumpernickel to go with the potato soup I just started in my crockpot.

We had to make up a snow day. It's OK... we were off on Friday and tomorrow is looking like another day off. More snow coming.

This is not an easy task, but the soles were coming loose on the shoes he wears for work. We went to Ross and he actually got two pairs for less than what you'd pay for one pair in a department store.

and this afternoon there was a good documentary on the History Channel about the presidents. It stopped at FDR (I've actually seen some of it before) but worth checking out.

I'm a big fan of C-SPAN, especially their first ladies series, just winding up.
