December 5, 2024

            We wish everyone a cool good morning. It did rain yesterday, and we got a little over ½ inch of rain, the ground is saying thanks. Please check the following photo to see the free rain gage as proof of the rain.


            I believe I had mentioned that I had put a Garlin on the swing frame where we sit in the afternoons, so I have a better photo for my enjoyment.


 
            The lights come on at 5:00pm and run for 6 hours, but they are difficult to see in the photo as it was not yet dark outside when I took the photo.

I have another photo of a T-shirt that is at least 73 years old. It belongs to my favorite wife; it even has her name on it when she was an Owen. The shirt might fit a child who was 2 years old.


            The Bunny reference on the shirt was about, “Bunny Bread”. Bunny bread was popular in Cape Girardeau in the olden days.

            Let’s see how the day went yesterday; I did get the grand kids to school safe and on time, it was raining when they got out of the vehicle, I offered them a folding umbrella, but they declined the offer. I went home and did my daily bible reading. I decided to get my hair cut so I went to the stylists, (aka barber). I did not have to wait I was seated as soon as I got there, she did a good job. When she was finishing, I asked the young lady, “where did all the gray hair come from that was around my chair”, she said it wasn’t from her, and then she laughed.

            I left the hair stylists and went to the Star coffee place where I sat in line for way too long. The coffee was lukewarm, so I headed for home thinking I could put it in the microwave. On the way home I decided to stop and get a couple spicy chicken sandwiches. The last time I bought them they were two for $6.00, this time they were $6.00 each. At home the spicy chicken sandwiches were extra spicy!   

My favorite wife was getting ready to go to the store for some needed groceries and I offered to drive her saying, I could drop her off at the door and then I could go to the bank as I needed to talk with them. After dropping my favorite wife off at the store, I went to the bank and was able to get the needed info from a lady at the bank. I headed back to the Wally world where I gave a donation to the salvation army, when I entered the store where my favorite wife was shopping. I found her about halfway through the grocery aisles. After the groceries we went to the male clothing area and I purchased a jacket, then we headed to the Christmas decoration aisle where my favorite wife purchased a Christmas decoration that is a church.

Then we drove to the other grocery store and this time we got a handicapped parking space very close to the door of the store. I stayed in the vehicle, and she went shopping.

Back at home I unloaded all the items we had purchased then I went to the vet to get some drugs for Tres. The dogs’ drugs cost more for one month, than I pay for my medicine in a year.

It was too cool and wet to sit outside yesterday so we stayed inside.

Plans for today, I have no plans for the day, so I will say have a good day, get some rest and be safe in all you do.

Christmas is coming…!

Senior ole person who wants nothing for Christmas, Don the Ford

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