NOTES
The weather showed us today that we are in winter. It has been a cold sunny day with a high temperature of 37 degrees and a low temperature this morning of 25 degrees. The wind blowing from the north today made it feel much colder than the temperature. I had lunch with Charley and Bill. I went to the post office for my mail and then to Save-A-Lot grocery store. I had a nap in early afternoon with Emmy cat. I put food out for the outside cats at 4:30 p.m. I worked in my office room for an hour or so mainly shredding some old records and throwing some old records in the trash. I didn't hear from anyone today. I do the Good Things in hopes that the scriptures , quote and thoughts might help someone and I know they do help some people. If at any time you would like to be dropped from the Good Things for any reason, send me an e-mail and I will certainly understand.
The cats are fine. Little Girl is asleep on the back of the sofa and Rascal is asleep in the recliner. The cats have been staying inside most of the day because of the cold weather. Lucy came in the house this afternoon for a few minutes but didn't stay long and then left out again. She knows how to survive in the cold weather since she has been surviving for several years. Tony came over a couple of times today for some of our food.
I hope everyone has a nice Friday! I will see you next time.
In Christian Love, Everett.
