                I think it is a good morning, we hope it is also good where you live.

                Allow me to enlighten you as to yesterday’s happenings here at the Ford Homestead.

                First off, I got up early and my favorite wife slept in. We did set around a little while I was allowed to kick back take it easy and have a cup of homemade coffee.

I did go to the grocery store to get a couple things, and I was back home before the cleaning lady showed up. This lady is kind of a talkative person when she arrives, she is also from Cape Girardeau Mo., but she got started cleaning and doing a good job of cleaning the house.

I was able to do some Bible reading just before lunch. For some reason I tend to get sleepy when I'm reading if I don’t take a nap before I start to read. Reading over I decided that I wanted some chicken for lunch, so I went to the chicken place and got me and my favorite wife some lunch.

                I did look out the back door yesterday morning and noticed that we have a new mushroom growing out there at the same spot where the old one was. This one is about the size of a golf ball that has a good stem on it and yes, I do have a photo.

                I looked out this morning, and it has tripled in size. No I did not get a photo of the increased size of the mushroom.

                Later in the afternoon after resting some, I did sit outside on the driveway a little while when a friend of mine who lives down the street and has a whole lot of pretty flowers in his front yard came up the street in his pickup truck. As the truck was driving by, suddenly there was a cat in the road that had been run over. I assume the cat was up in the pickup truck somewhere like in the motor and decided to try to jump out and was ran over. Yep, it's dead and no photo.

                The bird house that had previously had babies, once again have babies, photo to follow.

                If you look closely, you can see two of the three babies.

                I sat outside just for a little while, but it was very warm and I decided to get back inside and enjoy the air conditioning.

Later in the day (about 7:00pm) my favorite wife and I went back outside to relax. Getting out of the house seems to be more enjoyable than sitting inside with the TV on. Those are the exciting things that happened yesterday.

                Possible things to happen today, take Alex to a meeting at school for ROTC and pick him up afterwards sounds like an exciting day. We have learned that the ROTG meetings do not start until next week.

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

                Mr. Donnie the Ford

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