                Here we are starting another good morning in the hospital, we hope your morning is bright and shiny.

                Yesterday's events: I went to the Hospital early morning to see how my favorite wife was doing, and she was still sleepy. They did come in and do some rehab with her and later a lady came in and said they were working with the doctor and the insurance to get her started on rehab three times a day.

                On a different subject we have received calls from many friends and some that we have worked with in years past. It is nice to hear from all these people.

                Topic change: a friend came in and stayed with my favorite wife while I went home. Back at the house I did have a sandwich to eat, and I also took a shower. After the shower I went to the hair stylists and allowed her to cut my hair. While I was in the chair I almost went to sleep as she was removing hair from my head. Yes, I needed a nap, and the hair removal felt good.

                Back at the hospital I decided to start on this posting. They will probably be moving my favorite wife to another area of the hospital (aka rehab).

                My favorite wife received a very nice bouquet of flowers yesterday and I will provide a photo.

                 Bible study was on Monday night and it was the first one during this study period that I missed. I guess we can't make them all.  

                They moved my favorite wife to the rehab area of the hospital yesterday afternoon late and she is not happy. There are some changes that she will need to get use to.

                We will see what happens on this first day of rehab. We have been told that she will receive three hours of rehab, one hour at a time, and this rehab as I understand it is to make her able to do small things enabling her to be able to go home and get back to her almost normal life.

                I learned that our bible study group are praying for here complete recovery. We appreciate any and all prayers from anyone.

                The doctor is here and asking all types of questions. I guess it all starts now.

While I am here, I am unable to do small things at home so I hope to be able to get away for a couple hours each day to do things like by a few groceries or learn how to use the washing machine. Wow things can change.

Well, I will attempt to stop for now, we hope you have a good day and stay safe in all you do.

Don the Ford

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow.

            Good morning to one and all on what was to be a freezing cold day. We did not get to freezing we did get to 40 in Hewitt. I did wear a coat to the hospital this morning.

I haven't eaten much for the last few days; I have a normal breakfast but nothing at the hospital.  

            Being at the hospital we do not get to sit outside so I have not had an adult beverage since Wednesday evening, and we have not waved at any friends. Speaking of friends, we have received a bunch of calls from neighbors and friends, even friends we haven't seen for a while. We are thankful for all the kindness being shown to us.

            Having the computer here gives me something to do when my favorite wife is sleeping. One thing I did while she was sleeping was a photo of me just for you…

            Our dog Tres is wondering what is going on with us, both gone all day and most of the night. Dave has been feeding the dog every afternoon and we appreciate that.

             Sunday, we have visits from a neighbor and her daughter and from Patrick and Karla.  

            I need to get my hair cut; I was going to get my hair cut last Friday but that did not happen. I might be able to get away from the hospital today and go to the hair stylists. I do not like to leave my favorite wife here all alone, even though the meds they are giving her seem to make her sleep a lot.

            Thanks for the prayers. We hope you have a good day and stay safe in all you do.

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow.

                Let's see if it is another good morning, it is cool and windy outside this morning and the sun isn't up yet, but we are still wishing you a good morning and a good day.

                Well, we were in the hospital yesterday and we had a couple of visitors. I should note, a visitor who came Friday brought some very nice flowers.

                My favorite wife will be staying here at the hospital for a while; they will be doing rehab trying to get her back to normal body functions and improve her strength.

                I did get away from the hospital for a couple hours yesterday to do some things at the homestead. There were two friends who stayed with my favorite wife while I went to the house. Not being at home during most of the day right now and half of the night means nothing gets done. Heck Tres the dog is wondering what we are doing.

I was able to water the flowers in the hot house, and I shut the door getting ready for the upcoming winter weather. I checked the heat lamp and made sure it would work. They have said we will be close to freezing in a day or so.

                I vacuumed the floor in the house, not the hot house but the real house. I did write some checks for some bills that needed to be paid, which my favorite wife usually does. I got a couple things that my favorite wife wanted me to bring to the hospital, and I got the computer to bring with me to the hospital. Bringing the computer allows me to work on this post while my favorite wife is sleeping.

                We have had calls from many friends, some of them we have not talked with in a long time, you know real friends from the past. We do appreciate prayer from everyone. We are expecting Patrick and Karla to come up and visit today.

                I guess that is all for now, please pray for Donna's recovery. We hope you have a good day and please stay safe in all you do.

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow.

November 8 2025

                It is a good morning here in the hospital, my favorite wife is eating her breakfast, which consists of fruit and apple juice. The doctor was here, and he said things look good, we will be here for a couple more days, and maybe longer. Longer if we get her to take the rehab.   

                For that one person who doesn't know, we are in the Scott and White Hospital and my favorite wife has broken her leg and has had surgery which they said was a success.

                What happened: My favorite wife and a friend had gone to a rest home with a bunch of stuffed animals which they were donating. The nursing home was excited to get them. Donna and Nellie were walking down a hall when one of Donna's shoes stuck to the floor as she was attempting to take a step. As her foot pulled out of the shoe it kept her from taking a step, she tripped and fell on her right knee. Broken femur and knee cap. She was transported by ambulance to the hospital. Now we are praying for a quick recovery.

                We have had several friends and family come to visit and we have had many calls from friends; we are thankful for all our friends!

                I will attempt to change the topic and show you a photo of a bush that I have seen, and it reminds me of a mummy from Egypt.

                Well, I guess I should stop for now, we hope you have a good day and that you stay safe in all you do.

            Good morning to all and we hope you have a good day.

            Yesterday was a do-nothing day, I did get Alex to school on time and my favorite wife, and I went to the mechanic shop, we both needed to know where it was as it had moved since the last time we used it. I did my bible study homework, and I did sit outside on the front porch with a cup of coffee and enjoy the afternoon.

            Later in the day my favorite wife and I had discussions about Christmas decorations, I may go to the shed today and see if I can find the ones we were talking about without needing to move too much stuff.

            The weather was warm, so we washed the dog in the back 40. He seemed to like it and he smells much better now. I have a photo of Tres before his bath.

            A friend did come over yesterday afternoon, and we all sat outside discussing many things including a couple bible topics. As usual, most of the topics were about family and things from our past.

            Today I need to take Alex to school and then take the truck to the mechanic, my favorite wife will pick me up from the mechanic. Then later in the afternoon, hopefully I will have the truck back, I will need to go to the skin doctor for a checkup. Assuming I have any money left after all that, we might be able to go out for a date night (aka supper).

            Well, that is it for now, we hope you have a good day and stay safe in all you do.

Don the Ford

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow.

            We are starting a good morning here in Hewitt and we hope you are also.

            Yesterday I ordered some items that will be Christmas gifts and this morning one of the cartons was lying on the front porch. That was an overnight delivery.

            I am sitting here attempting to think of anything that I may have done yesterday other than sitting on the front porch with a cup of homemade coffee and enjoying the nice weather. I often think about things that are in the bible during these restful periods. One thought from yesterday was, "the Tree of Life". Why was there a tree of life in The Garden of Eden and why would there be one in New Jerusalem.

            I can see that you are thinking what is the Don going to come up with as a reason for the tree of Life. Let's see where I go with this, at this time I do not have a reason for the Tree of life, but I might come up with one. I know that some have never heard of the tree of life as they have never been to church or have not read the bible. I will not attempt to explain to those who have no knowledge of the bible about the Tree of Life, and I will not attempt to explain about the Tree of Knowledge.

            My intent is to ask the question, "why was there a Tree of Life in the garden of Eden". As I understand it, there were all types of plants and trees in the Garden of Eden, and they were all available to Adam and he was to cultivate and take care of the plants. Adam was not to eat from the Tree of Knowledge, if he did, he would surely die.

            I wonder if the idea was that Adam would eat from the tree of life and live forever in the garden.

            If you were to eat from the tree of life one time, would you live forever, or do you need to eat from the tree on a regular basis. Do you age when you eat from the Tree of Life or stay the same age for ever.

Some people in the Old Testament lived for hundreds of years. Example, Methuselah lived for 969 years, and Noah lived 950 years. Were these people who lived extremely long lives allowed to eat from the tree of life? Evidently the fruit from the tree of life was able to keep all diseases and illness away from the person.

If at some point in their life they would no longer be given the fruit from the tree, would their bodies begin to show their actual age and then they would die?

The tree would provide 12 kinds of fruit and have fruit each month. That would point to the fact that there is only one season for the entire year where the Tree would grow.  

In another part of the bible there is a statement that the leaves on the tree of life are said to be for the healing of the nations. (Genesis 3:22 -24      Revelations 2 and 22)

Well as you can see, I have not answered my question as to "why was the tree of Life there". I will just stop for now and wish you a good day and hope that we all stay safe in all we do.

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow.

                It is a good morning again here in Hewit and we hope you are having a good morning also.

                Yesterday's events: I was able to get Alex to school safely and on time and after I returned home and took it easy for a while, I headed out to the car dealership where I was astonished. Now I had called the dealership and had an appointment for 10:30 yesterday, and I arrived a couple minutes early. I walked inside and said my name and I had an appointment. He looked in the computer and he said "you do" and then he asked "has anybody talked to you about the amount of time it's going to take to fix this", and I said "no", and he said "it would take five days or more to fix your car, he noted that they were very busy". I said no my car's not staying here for 5 days or more and I turned and walked away.

                If it was going to take that long to do something, why would they not have told me when they made the appointment. Why did I have an appointment to show up and leave my car for five or more days? That is stupid!

                I returned home and after a while I called a local mechanic and told him what my problem was, he said that his wife's vehicle, which is one year newer than mine, had the same problem, and he replaced the screen in it. He said they would get the price and give me a call and tell me what it cost.

                The rest of the day I kind of took it easy waiting for time to go to Bible study I did read the notes ahead of time which basically is cheating, you're not supposed to read the notes until after the lecture. Personally, I find the notes very interesting, but the lecture is not.

                Today's events: other than getting Alex off to school hopefully on time and safely I have no real big plans for the day we'll just have to see how things go.

                Well, that was a short post and since it was short I will just stop for now. We hope you have a very good day and stay safe in all you do.

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow.

November 3, 2025

            Good morning to you as we see the sun coming up. The time change means it is brighter outside earlier in the morning.

            I have a couple comments from yesterday and some photos. Allow me to start off with a photo of something that I made. No, it is not a bird house that comes later. This item, like many items I have made, comes from left over wood. It has been a bunch of years since I made this set of dominos.

            In the photo we see the set of dominos and the wood box that I had made probably 15 years ago. I have a couple out of the box so you can see there are two layers in the box. This is a one-of-a-kind item, handmade by Don the Ford and probably worth thousands of dollars, or not. An item like this is something you make for the fun of it, as it takes time and effort.

            Yesterday we went to the cracker store for lunch and upon returning home I did very little as my favorite wife went through a bunch of clothes that she no longer wears. As for me, after a rest period and that rest period was not a nap as I was not sleepy, I then decided to go to the garage and put together the rest of the bird houses.

Speaking of bird houses, we have a couple hanging on the car port that were in the pecan tree that we cut down. These houses have nest in them and there have been birds using them, I assume they are getting ready for winter.

I did get the other 5 bird houses put together and I think there are now 9 bird houses hanging on the carport, photo to follow.

            Yesterday afternoon we were able to sit outside as the weather was very nice. The neighbor's grandkids came over and the girl had made a drawing for us. She had it wrapped in a plastic bag, and it was tape shut. I have a photo. 

I asked if it was a school project and she said no she did it at home and she did it for both of us. I think she is going to be an artist. Jaelyn is her name, and I guess she is 10 years old. Her and her little brother come over and visit with us sometimes as we sit outside.

Different subject, I did get a photo of what was almost a full moon coming up.

            I know everyone has seen the moon but I find it interesting when they are in the sky while the sun is still in the sky.

            Today I need to take the truck to the dealer for some repair. We do have bible study this evening and other than that no big plans. I will stop for now, we hope you have a good day and please stay safe in all you do.

Don the Ford

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow.

November 2, 2025

            The time has now changed back an hour, and I will be thinking about the time change all day. Even with the time change we want to wish you a good morning.

            Yesterday's small events described for you. Basically, we did nothing yesterday so this will be a short comment. I will start out with a comment, "Saturday was seeming to be Sunday all day long". The fact that we had Alex over doing yard work on Friday when he normally works for us on Saturday was one reason.

I did get my bible study homework completed and I truly wish I was a better student. I have never been a good student, but I do like our bible study classes.

My favorite wife and I went out to lunch at the usual location and after lunch we drove to the Harbor store as I had a 25% off coupon. I need a new tarp to cover the Ford's ole riding lawnmower. They did not have a tarp the size and color I wanted, as a matter of fact they had very few tarps.

Leaving the no tarp store we then stopped by the booze store where I purchased a bottle of adult beverage. Then we went to the cheap store where my favorite wife purchased a couple items and then we headed home. Back at home I went into the rest mode for a while (aka took a nap).

Once the rest period was over, I decided to make a cup of coffee, Tres and I went to the front porch where we sat in the cool air drinking hot coffee. It was too cool and there was a lite breeze so as soon as the coffee was finished, we went into the garage.

I decided to work on the bird houses as I need the area where the pieces were stored. I did need to saw a little piece off a couple of the boards, and I did drill the holes for the front door and the dowel that the birds stand on. The one hole for the front door was messed up a little, but I don't think the birds will mind. I put one house together and I might put more together today. Usually, I don't have any problems giving them away.

After I became tired of working on the bird houses, ole people get tired easily, we decided to sit outside for a little while even though it was cool. I got the chairs ready on the driveway, and we both walked out there when it started to sprinkle. Not knowing if it was going to rain a lot or just these little sprinkles, we decided to go to the front porch. It sprinkled for a while but nothing of any amount.

There is a fellow and his family who have been living at a friend's house down the street from us and every time he goes by, he will roll his window down and wave at us and we return the wave. Well, he and his wife and kids are moving out. Who will we have to wave at now, wow a friend leaves the neighborhood. You don't think it was something that I said, do you?  

As for today, even though the time has changed we may still go to the cracker store for lunch.

Well as you can see yesterday was not a very busy day. I will stop for now, we hope you have a very good day and stay safe in all you do.

Don the Ford

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow.

                We are starting over today; it is the first day of the month and now you understand starting over. I wish you a good morning on the first day of the month.

                I am sitting here with a banana in hand and in my mouth as I start this day. Bananas are good for ole people as we do not need to waste a lot of energy chewing on them. I will attempt to enlighten you as to yesterday's events, if my memory provides me with necessary information.

                I did get my favorite grandson and bring him to our homestead to help with some yard work. First, we started moving the flowers that are in pots to the ole hot house. There were between 15 and 20 pots that were moved and all were heavy. I do have a photo of some of the flowers in the hot house.

                Then we move the plumerias into the garage. They take up too much room wherever you place them. We have one very large plant (moon plant) that did not get moved. It is too large for the hot house and there is no room in the garage.

                After all the pots were moved Alex mowed the front yard. As I see it, he was vacuuming it as it had not grown very much. He was able to get the leaves off the front yard, and it looks very nice. The leaves will be turning soon, and they will be falling.  

                We did not receive any trick or treaters here at the ford house, we did shut the door and window blinds early and we assume that kept them away.

                Today's plan: if we stay on a Saturday schedule, we will have lunch out and do very little the rest of the day. I might put some bird houses together as the parts that are in the garage do take up some room, and we don't have much room. Wow, another exciting senior person day.

                I will attempt to stop for now, we hope you have a very nice day and please stay safe in all you do.

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow.

October 31, 2025

We would like to wish you a good morning and as usual, we hope you have a good day.

            Odd things happen. Allow me to present an odd thing that happened to me yesterday morning as I was on my way to get Alex for school. You should know that my trucks screen has been acting crazy for a week or two. The screen will at times show the normal things such as the radio station that I am listening to or the phone number of the person I am talking to. This screen will also show the view from my back up camera.

            Yesterday morning as I was driving, I noticed the screen acting crazy, there were names of people who were on my phone being scanned from top to bottom of the screen. Now this screen has done that in the past, but it was scanning the radio channels not phone info. The screen stopped scanning, and a name appeared on the screen and the phone number was being called. I had trouble getting the phone out of my back pocket because I was driving. I was able to stop the call, but it had already rung the phone number a few times. Then the screen began scanning again and it stopped on another name and called it. The number was ringing when I stopped it again, then it rang another number, and I pulled into a side street and shut my phone off.

            I proceeded to get Alex and take him to school. When I activated the phone again, I had a text message from the first number wanting to know if everything was ok. I also received a call from the second phone number asking if I had called. The third person did not respond. 

            I now have an appointment to take the truck to the dealer next week and see if it can be fixed.

            Let's stay with odd for a minute, as Alex and I were heading to school yesterday morning the sun was starting to come up. When I turned a corner, the sun was shining in my mirror. I said to Alex, "they use to have a lever on these mirrors that would allow you to reduce the amount of light shining in your eyes by 90%, I don't know why this mirror doesn't have a lever". Then I felt of the bottom of the mirror and then the back and I found the lever on the back of the mirror. Now I have owned this truck since 2016, that is 9 years, and I just learned where the lever is.

            Different topic: Tres and I got a cup of coffee, and we went to the front porch to enjoy the coffee and cool air. As we sat there, I observed a shadow of a Hawk or Buzard flying over. The shadow was large and was moving slowly as it passed over. There was no wind at that time, this shadow circled around at least three times, and I began to wonder why. The shadow was gone for several minutes and then it was back. It only passed over once again, then it was gone.

            I heard some crows off in the distance, they seemed to be having a good time at whatever they were doing, they were noisy.

            Yesterday's events: my favorite wife and I did go out for supper, and it was good, we returned home before heading to the school where we enjoyed the orchestra and the movie. Now the movie was an old-time scarry movie that was originally in Spanish. Someone had changed the language to English, and the wording made the movie funny. The orchestra provided music throughout the movie. It was very odd and funny.

            My plans for today are to get Alex and bring him over to do some work. We want to put the potted plants into the hot house and if the front yard is dry enough, he will mow and vacuum it.

Well, I guess I should stop for now, we hope you have a good day and please stay safe in all you do.

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow.

October 30, 2025

                I got up a little earlier this morning than usual, but it is still a very good morning even though it is 44 degrees outside.

                Speaking of cool temperatures, my favorite wife and I decided to sit outside yesterday afternoon in the cool and very windy weather. Prior to heading outside my favorite wife went into the closet and found her leather jacket. She did wear the jacket while we sat outside, and I had a sweatshirt on.

                Seeing as how my favorite wife always thinks it is cold in our house I did activate the furnace yesterday afternoon. I guess it is working as it is not too cold in the house this morning.

                With the coming of the cool and cold weather we will need to move the flowerpots into the so-called hot house. We will need to see if the heat lamp still works and find the heater that we use on very cold days. Since that requires physical labor, I will attempt to get Alex to come over and do all the heavy work.

                Speaking of Alex, their school is having a concert tonight and he plays a violin in the orchestra. We must purchase tickets to see this musical event. We understand it will be Halloween themed, and the music is said to be from an ole movie.  

                Also, their school is not having classes tomorrow. I don't know why they are not having school could it be due to Halloween. 

                Big plans for today; take Alex to school, do nothing for a while, do the bible study homework, go out for supper, then go to the concert. Wow what a busy day, ole people never get any rest.

                Speaking of rest, I think I will stop for now and get some rest. We hope you have a restful day and that everyone stays safe in all we do.

Don the Ford

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow.

October 29, 2025

                It is a dark and cool good morning as I ventured forth from the homestead. Why was the Don leaving earlier than usual? No one asked, well I will tell you. He was going to the food place to get a couple of breakfast burritos. I will tell you they were good, but the hot sauce was very hot sauce.

                Let's consider altered schedules again. Normally I have a cup of coffee while watching the so-called news each morning and a second cup of coffee while taking Alex to school, then I do not usually have another cup during the day.

                Yesterday I followed the usual routine (aka schedule) and had two cups of coffee. Later in the morning when I was starting my bible study I thought, "maybe I would have another cup of coffee", so I went to the coffee machine and put the little cup in and turned it on. While it was making the coffee I went to the computer and started it. Then I got the bible and started the homework. I think the bible study took a little more than and hour. When I put everything away, I walked to the kitchen and saw my cold cup of coffee sitting there in the machine. Yep, I had forgotten that I had made a cup as I do not usually do that. Wow maybe when I have a different schedule I should make some notes to help me remember what to do.

                Yesterday's workload: we have decided to attempt to make some room in the garage before the cold weather gets here so we can put a few plants in out of the cold. I did move the Table saw out to the shed and that meant I had to carry it out there all by myself.

That completed, I then decided to pick up the dog Poopa-Loopa from the back 40. There was plenty to be removed. While I was in the back yard, I decided to cut up a few of the small limbs that are on the trailer and take them to the trash can.

Back at the garage we straightened up some areas and went through some items and even tossed out some items. It seems to be very difficult to throw something away even though you haven't used it for years.

I then decided to put together a bird house. I will provide a photo or two for my enjoyment. I did need to cut ¼ inch of wood off both side pieces, as they were too long. There are several other sets of boards for bird houses and the sides on them will also need to be cut off.



                This morning it was cool, and our cat Molly came into the house. As I was getting dressed, she surprised me by coming into the bathroom and jumping on the counter, so I got a photo for your enjoyment.

                She was looking at me and wondering what I was doing. She has to go to the vet today.

                We sat out for a while yesterday, but it was very windy.

 Well, I will stop for now, we hope you have a very good day and please stay safe in all you do.

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow.

October 28, 2025

                Good morning from us here in Hewitt Texas. We hope it is not only a good morning but also a good day.

                So far this morning; I have gotten a late start at getting up and starting this soon to be boring posting. For this ole person, not being on schedule is very distracting. Now by that I mean, whatever gets me off schedule has too much of my attention and that distraction causes me to not do things that I need or should do. Example, I was supposed to call the vet yesterday and being on a different schedule I forgot, so now I need to call the vet today.

                What was the unusual schedule, "no one asked", well I will tell you. I was to take my favorite granddaughter Gabi for a job interview yesterday and I kept thinking about that. Yes she is my only granddaughter and my favorite.

                Ok, let's get serious for a minute and consider "forgetfulness". I would like to relate a situation where I had forgotten something. In fact, I have forgotten this twice in the last couple weeks and it is due to schedule changes.

                Yesterday morning, I was able to drag my ole body out of bed and make it to the recliner in the front room where I activated the TV and had a cup of homemade coffee in hand. I sat there with the TV on and as usual I was criticizing the so-called news for its content. As I see it, the 30-minute morning news is 50% the so-called weather, and he says the same thing repeatedly. After enduring the morning news, I was able to get my ole body back into the bedroom where I procured some clothes to put on. After the normal brushing of the teeth and combing of the hair I headed to the fords ole so-called office and turned the computer on. I entered the data into the computer and sent the post to the blog site. I then left the homestead and went to get Alex and take him to school. I did get him there safely and I returned home where I learned what I had forgotten. "I had forgotten to eat my breakfast!

            I usually turn the computer on, then go to the refrigerator and get a breakfast sandwich, put it in the microwave and heat it up, then eat it while I and sitting at the desk in front of the computer. Schedule change takes my attention away from normal things.

                Different topic: I do need to complete my reading of the story I had written several years ago. I only have a few more pages and I will be done. It is good even if I have to say so myself.

Bible study was good and there are some well-spoken people in our class. They are able to explain things in much better detail than I can, but I believe my explanations are equally revealing of what I have studied.

Well, I think I will stop for now, we hope you have a very good day and that we are all safe in all we do.

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow.

October 27, 2025

                Wow, we are starting another week here at the Ford's homestead. I guess I should say good morning to all, and we hope you have a good day.

                Let us take a look at yesterday's few events: my favorite wife and I went to the cracker store for lunch. Lunch was good then we headed over to the cheap store where we found nothing that we needed or wanted. Back at the homestead we decided to sit on the front porch and enjoy the quiet neighborhood. When I say quiet, I mean there was little going on as it was Sunday, and I assume everyone was taking it easy. After about an hour of very quiet time (I don't remember anyone even driving down our street) we went into the house where I read more from my story about the beginning of time. I have a few more pages to read and I will be done. Two things about this story; I am the only one who has read the story that I wrote years ago, and I still find it interesting even though I wrote it.

                Around 4:00pm we decided to again go outside and enjoy the good weather. The neighborhood was still very quiet.  I do have a couple photos from yesterday.


                Molly gets very comfortable lying on her back with her hind leg in the air and later they were both lying in the driveway resting.

                Today I will take Alex to school and later in the afternoon I will take Gabi for a job interview. All that completed we do have bible study this evening.

                Well, I guess I will stop and get started, we hope you have a good day and please stay safe in all you do.
