NOTES

Today has been mostly sunny and a little cooler. High temperature was 92 degrees. Stephanie and Dillon came around 8:30 a.m. and made my old house look like a new one inside which will last for a week and then they will be back to do it all over again. I had lunch with Charley and our nephew, Denton. I went to the post office. I came home and took a nap with Lucy. That is about all that happened in my life today. The cats are fine. Emmy just came in the front patio door, had a bite of dry food and went back out. Rascal just went out the same door. Thanks for everything, notes, prayers and thanks for reading the Good Things.

Have a nice Wednesday.

Everett.

Today has been a sunny day with a high temperature of 102 degrees. I went to Walmart this morning while it was a little cooler than in the afternoon. I had lunch with Charley. I took a nap this afternoon with Lucy. The cats are fine. Smokey is here in the den with me at present on a small filing cabinet. I have seen all the cats this evening. A partial copy of the Good Things went out a little while ago by mistake. These computers are really touchy.

Have a nice Saturday.

I took a nap with Lucy. At around 3:00 p.m. I went out again and got a haircut. That is about all that happened in my world today but it was too hot to do anything outside. The cats are fine and all are outside at present. Thanks for everything, notes, prayers and reading the Good Things.
