NOTES

Today has been partly cloudy with a high temperature of 95 degrees. I attended Worship Services this morning. We had the usual good service with choruses, hymns and spiritual songs. Pastor JT's sermon was titled "Transformational Living: From Fear to Freedom." Pastor JT makes a good presentation of his sermons on the big screen. I had lunch at home. I took my afternoon nap with Smokey and Tony. I put treats out for the cats at around 6:10 p.m. and sat with them for a while. At around 7:15 p.m. I put the garbage out on the street for pick up in the morning.

Last night I didn't feel like I should do the Good Things. My back was hurting a little and I think that I needed the rest. Lets start a new procedure on the Good Things. I will send out the Good Things when I feel up to it but some nights I might want to leave them off. I will do that from now on. If I get on the computer I will tell you "No Good Things." If I don't get on the computer I wont tell you but don't worry. I will be back when I can. When I decide that the Lord wants me to give them up, I will let you know.

My cats are fine. None are with me at present but Tony just left out. I have seen all of them this evening.

Have a nice Monday to start a new week. Everett

Today has been a partly cloudy day with a high temperature of 88 degrees . I had lunch with Charley. I went to the post office. I took my nap this afternoon with Smokey and Tony. I put food and treats outside for the cats at around 6:10 p.m. and sat with them for a few minutes. Thanks for reading the Good Things and thanks for your emails. I will keep on keeping on as long as I feel like it.

The cats are fine. Rascal and Tony are lying on a desk near me and Smokey is lying near my feet. Friendly just came in and got on the desk so it is getting a little crowded. Smokey got up near the computer a little while ago to see what I am doing. They always want to know what is going on. When I go out in the backyard I know that my cats will soon follow in order to know what is going on. They really do look after a person if you love them sincerely and they can tell when a person really loves them. I have seen all of my cats this evening.

Have a nice Saturday.Everett

Today has been a partly cloudy day with a high temperature of 87 degrees. I had lunch today with Charley and Bill. Michelle was our waitress today. I went to the post office and then came home. I took a nap with Tony but Itty Bitty gave me some good loving before she left the bed and I went to sleep. I put food and treats outside for the cats at around 6:05 p.m. and sat with them for several minutes. Thanks for those emails and thanks for reading the Good Things. I don't seem to have time or feel like answering the emails but I do appreciate them. The notes that I write are for everyone but I know that most people are like me and don't feel like or have time to write notes but thanks to the ones that do write.

The cats are fine. Leo is on the desk near me and Rascal is lying in the floor. I have seen all the kitties this evening. I did not see Lucy's twin today so maybe it went back home. I hope it is ok wherever it is.

Have a nice Friday. Everett

NOTES :

Today has been a partly cloudy day with a high temperature of 87 degrees. I had lunch with Charley. I went to the post office and then to Walgreen's to pick up the prescription that I ordered yesterday. I took a nap this afternoon with Tony. At around 6:05 p.m. I put treats out for the cats and sat with them several minutes. Thanks for reading the Good Things.

The cats are fine. Tony is with me now lying on a desk near me. Rascal has been here a few minutes ago. I have seen all of them this evening. Lucy has a twin. I saw a cat across the street the other evening and I called "Come on Lucy!" But it wasn't Lucy. It could almost be her twin but has a black spot in the midst of some white. It is a beautiful cat and I don't know who it belongs to. The house directly across the street from me is vacant. That is where Tony came from. It comes out of the yard next to the house directly across the street. A single lady lives there and very seldom comes out of her house. She works sometimes at night. I don't know who the cat belongs to but it is not friendly as yet. Old Everett has been putting out some dry food in front of the patio door and it slips up and eats. Eventually it will be friends with me I think.

Have a nice Thursday. Everett

I took my nap with Tony. I put food and treats outside for the cats around 6:00 p.m. and sat with them for over 30 minutes. Thanks for reading the Good Things and thanks for your emails.

I have seen all of my cats this evening except Smokey. I haven't seen him since around 12:30 p.m. He started to take a nap with me and then left out. I hope he is okay. Beau is eating today. I am always concerned when one of my cats is out of pocket.

I just checked and Smokey is lying in the floor in the kitchen. I don't know where he has been. He won't tell me.

Have a nice Wednesday. Everett
