NOTES:

Today has been mostly sunny with a high temperature of 86 degrees. I attended Worship Services this morning. We had a wonderful service with the usual choruses, hymns, spiritual songs and some testimonies. I have misplaced my church bulletin from this morning (I will find it again later), but if I remember correctly, Pastor JT's sermon was on "(Re) Defining Normal." He can correct me if I am wrong and I will send a correction next time. I had lunch at home. I took a long nap this afternoon. Emmy, Smokey and Tony were with me part of the time. I really didn't intend to sleep as long as I did but I just didn't wake up. I never set an alarm any more even to get up in the morning. I put treats outside for the cats around 6:15 p.m. and sat with them for a few minutes. I put the garbage out on the street around 6:45 p.m. I have two of those large blue containers they use for the morning's pick up since I had my house deep cleaned yesterday and lots of "stuff" was thrown away. I appreciate each of you who read the Good Things from an old geezer like me. It is getting a little more difficult as time goes along but I am trying to hang in there a while longer. I appreciate your notes.

The cats are fine. Rascal is asleep on a desk near me. Lucy is asleep in the floor near my feet. The rest are elsewhere but they have all been seen this evening.

Have a nice Monday. Everett.
