Street parking problems

I finally got out for a walk today. It was cold but not terrible. There was not much going on this afternoon. After I got home, I brought down more Christmas decorations from the attic. I expect to start setting things up any day now.

I finally got hold of my mom on the phone. She seldom picks up, for reasons I cannot understand. I was able to tell her I'll be visiting for Christmas. She said she'd forget, which would make it nicer when I show up because it'll be a surprise. I hope I can help her out. I also want to take one road trip to a pretty waterfall.
