 I loaded up my van with donations for Goodwill and grabbed some of my Mom’s donations too! I will make a run tomorrow to drop everything off before I pick up my groceries.  

I took clothing items to our local clothing closet to help people in the community. I hope it helps someone.

I did have a bit of fun today after more organizing and cleaning today. I went to my Cousin’s to chat about our trip to Grand Bahama. We found some fun things to do but don’t have a set schedule so we can go where the day takes us. We will have options of things to do and see.

Then we watched a documentary on octopuses. Or is it octopi? Or octopodes? I believe all are acceptable…but the documentary was on more than one octopus is my point.

They are such cool creatures. They look and move like what I would expect from aliens. They change color so fast, they change textures.

Their skin is made up of these little sacs that expand and contract. Their muscles control these sacs and the way they change color.  They sense things on such a different level.

Our family went to an octopus farm in Hawaii. We learned all about how smart they are. We got to touch them, feed them and Paul got sprayed by one (with water). We even saw a couple of them “ink”. 

I ran some errands, and then hibernated for the night.  Not a bad day!
