                Is it another good morning? Yes, it is another good morning!

I have put the AMERICAN FLAG on the pole in honor of Veterans’ Day, and yes, I saluted it after I raised it to the top.  

                I have nothing to report to you about from yesterday so this will be a short post about nothing, even the photos will not excite you. Speaking of photos, allow me to start with a photo of the workspace that I was using yesterday in an attempt to get prepared for the additional Christmas decoration that will be set up. I was able to get under the Ford’s ole carport and I was also able to put some paint on the outside parts of the soon to be manger scene. It was dark brown paint, and it was paint that I had left over from past projects, so I did not need to invest any additional money in the painting project.

My favorite wife came out during the time that I was painting. When I completed the painting and cleaned up after, I was also allowed to sit there with my favorite wife.

                Prior to this work my favorite wife and I went to the store for a couple items like small light bulbs that she uses in her inside decorations and a couple food items including food for the dog. I failed to remember to get some soda for myself.

                Back at home from shopping, I sat outside with a cigar in hand and enjoyed the nice weather. That resting completed, I took the cat to the vet for a checkup.

                I have spoken with the lady who lives next door where they are doing all the work on her house and I noted that a neighbor had asked if she was having all the work done getting ready to sell the house. She explained that she just wanted it to be in good condition for her to live in and when she is no longer here, her son will have the house to live in.

                Today is another “do nothing day” here at the Fords house. I will be allowed to wash the clothes, and it has been suggested by my favorite wife that I might go to the so-called hot house and start placing the flowers inside it as it will get cold in the near future. There is some trimming that need to be done on most of the bushes around the house.

                Wow, I am so tired now I need to get some rest before I start doing nothing. We hope and pray that you have a blessed and safe day, and we will keep you in our prayers.
