Just need to talk to my friends (199)

I have always thought Aldis was just a grocery store. Judith, were all those stores there when you moved there or did they build after you were there? How is your foot?

David,glad things went well at your doctors.

All of us just got up from a two hour nap. Probably would still be asleep if the driveway alarm hadn't gone off.

Sandy, I'm drinking a Rich Chocolate Boost- so good. Thanks for giving me that little push to get them. Hope the day has hone well for everyone.

I did forget to mention that our little town lost a grocery store where I liked to shop but will gain a Beall's that will go in the same building. Never been to one of those either.

You are in a perfect location, Judith. I feel like I am, too, minus stores.

I just spent a very peaceful 45 minutes sitting on the porch in the cool breeze watching the girls change pastures. Daisy went to her baby and brought him up with the others. He would stop and wander around and she would wait on him. When they got to the gate she let him explore, then she went through and stopped waiting on him to come through That gate is hard for babies because it opens back aǹd they have to go around it to get through. There were a couple of little babies close by and they came through. Mom waited, then turned around to watch, said something and he came through and they took off to join the others. The two little ones were following behind. It is a joy, for me, to watch the interaction between moms and babies. They teach them to mind. When it is time to nurse(they have them in a schedule), mom will call the baby and you see him running to her and latching on. It's really fun to watch them.

Another two blooms on the Althea with grasshoppers chomping away. I will stop, knowing I am boring you all. Sleep well tonight.

From what Carol says it's a clothing, etc. Store where they bring things that don't sell in other stores. They have one in her town. When I was last down there they were working on it inside with old air conditioners outside. There is only one dept. Store there and a Dollar Tree and General Dollar p!us WM.

So it won't rot. Got one coat on and will put another in a few minutes. The bark is already pulling away from the wood. Thepump sprayer works well but tires my arm moving it up and down, etc. I want to be able to have it to set flower pots on next summer.. Hope it works. It's hot out there when you're doing something and this will be the coolest day for a while

Just got some bad news. Mark from our rural water district was out reading meters and he called to say we have a leak, on my side of the meter, of course. Called the plumber and he can't get to it until Friday. Always something. We had a leak years ago and the cost was awful. Can't turn off the water for almost three days so, there we go.

That sounds good Gor you, David. Glad you enjoy the classes

. Just thought of something. Have any of you ever fixed wilted lettuce? Charles loved it.

Judith, Charles and I laid the waterline from the main line, a quarter mile. We had someone dig the trench, about three feet deep. No other source out here. That was 29 years ago. The bill will be high but Mark said there is some kind of discount we can use. I think the water bill last time was around $900. He said it wasn't leaking last month.
