August is flying by

Upgrade your email with 1000's of emoticon iconsLloyd is back in the United States of America.  Jeanne finally called to let us know.  He had called us--not home--called Larry--not home--called Helen--not home--called his sons --not home --called Jeanne --she was home and she was to let everyone know--he was in Huston, Texas--to arrive in Portland about 8:30 P.M. or so this very evening.  T' will be so good to have him back and there will be an abundance of emails. and photos.
 
We made two trips to Ace Hardware in Talent (plus one trip to Wal-Mart as long as we were close) to get a part for the toilet in my bathroom.  The first part did not fit--hopefully the second one will work.  Dumpy is installing it right now.  
 
Elmer dear is doing about the same--not ready for what he wants to do yet  He has quite a bit of pain now and then.  He has to be very careful where he walks--uneven ground is not good. 
 
We had a volunteer cherry tree here by our back deck and it was beginning to take over.  There were at least one million leaves on it which we could just see landing here by our back doors this winter so we were going to have Jose cut it down.  Well Ron knew that and said today he would use his new chain saw and cut it down.  He did and he did a good job--made two trips to the City burn pile.  I am so glad he did this--Jose would have cut it the next time he came.  Ron also blew the LONG driveway--stuff falls constantly from our oodles of trees.  Jose will still come--lots for him to do.  We told him he could wait util the weather cools a bit.  90 today.  (Ron will not accept any $$$$)
 
Larry and Linda are on their way to the TRAIL FELLOWSHIP where Richard Swingle is performing tonite and last nite.  They also went last nite.  On their way this evening they were going to get a bite to eat. 
 
Brian and the Kidlets are to arrive in Steamboat this evening to meet up with HELEN THE RUNNER and stay all nite. 
 
Nite--gg
