GEORGEOUS WEATHER

 Talk about a beautiful and gorgeous day..It was sunny and warm all day--no rain and no wind.

 

Mid morning Bud and I went to Wal+Mart--stopped for gas first--1/2 tank $35.00--and there was not much at the P.O.

 

Do you know what--several hours later I wondered where Bud was--no where to be found.  I forget to let him out of the car.  He was sleeping so sound Elmer could barely wake him up.  But that is the way Bud is--so compliant.  He is such a good and gentle dog.  Thank you, Keith.

 

Elmer worked outside for several hours--far too long but for one thing he had to do was fasten down the cover over the wood--ready for the next wind.

 

When I came home I swept and raked leaves by the jillions--too long--back gave out--had to quit.

 

For 25 years Elmer had a cover (special cover) for the chimney-- to keep the rain from running down inside.  WELL, THE WIND BLEW IT OFF SOMETIME YESTERDAY.  So now he has to repair and get that back on some way.  (This proves we did have a "brisk breeze" yesterday.)

 

This early afternoon a young lady came down our long driveway--pushing a baby cart--new baby--she is new to Phoenix but she had heard there was a long path somewhere running along Bear Creek and she thot for sure this must be it.  She said about a month ago they moved up above us--2nd house on the left going up the hill--very cute baby boy--(not as cute as Caedmon, tho)and so we visited and she is very friendly and she is going to have us up for dinner along with another couple up above???????????  She evidently has more energy than I do.  She is in her 30's--had to wait to find a very special man to marry.

 

I think I shall put Elmer dear down for a rest--was up too long today. 

 

Larry has too many SAD stories to tell about his students--some very sad cases.
