I had work to do at both stores, and also got a call to stop and help Mike P. After work I did get stamps at the post office and then run out to Palmer’s to get corn and tomatoes. Joe gave me a cucumber and then Mr. G gave me more tomatoes so I’m set for a few days. I love toast and tomato!
I took my time eating, and even topped off my tomato lunch with an Oreo and something cold to drink. Then I went outside. I finished weeding the front yard and the side yard above and below the fence. Most of it was in the sun so I took time for a few short water breaks. Some of it ended up splashed on my face — on purpose!
At my next break I talked to Al (neighbor) and he said Joyce (his wife) isn’t doing very well. She’s in a lot of pain all the time. She has been dealing with this for so long — she’s one tough, brave woman, for sure. But then I badgered myself into cutting the grass so THAT core is done for a few days. It was so long I had to cut half rows to make it look even partly decent.
It felt very good to get a cool shower, wash my hair, and get into pj’s. After I was done mowing I was soaked through to the skin. Now I feel fresh and clean – but very tired. Happy, but tired!
I got an email from Lisa that Hanna’s Town had a group coming on Saturday afternoon and they need two tour guides. So I guess I’ll help with that.
Did I already share the story about the Beach Boys sign? Ron and I were going to the farm to do corn 2 weeks ago and we saw a sign in a grassy strip along the highway advertising the concert. It was long over, so on the way back we drove sort of close to the sign. Low and behold, it jumped into my car! So now I have a Beach Boys sign in the back yard. It was dirty and all over grass but I scrubbed it clean. It’s just so perfect. Thanks a ton — and you know who you are… 🙂
