  • Day before Thanksgiving

    I bought some banana bread and an apple pie for tomorrow. If I feel OK I will bake the last pieces of fish for lunch.  I was doing pretty good this morning until I decided to sit back down and pedal as I missed 2 wks. Mistake.

    Missy is sitting on the windowsill listening to the Ocean sound cd I have in. She doesn't know what to make of it, at least she isn't walking across the top of the desk yet. Imagine she spent some time watching squirrels out the window as I bought some squirrel food since I can't get to the feed store for corn cobs to hang. All the little birds were back too and I saw a couple doves. I so miss feeding birds but we still have stray cats running around. In fact yesterday Wil spotted a big one I've never seen, tiger with a white chest. Have some squirrel food back on that table but don't think anyone has found it.

    Our city has decided to switch solid waste routes. Of course the new drivers apparently don't know I have handicap permission to come on my property to get my bins. One day last week I chased a driver down as I hobbled along with my cane causing severe pain in my back and legs. He was a relief driver as ours was behind. When he got to our bin it was empty!  Betting the guy that picked up our green barrel threw the trash in with it, a big no no.

    Another day at 5 pm I went out and got my mail as I had a check in it and the mail person had not been around. As I sat an ate I saw the truck going down the neighbor's street, grabbed my cane and my letter and waited for her to arrive. I'm to old for this stuff. :-)

    After the holiday I have to check with Pacific Life to see if they got the mail I returned to them to get Wil's retirement deposited in our checking account. I wrote down the date I sent it but forgot to write how I proved our old account since I shredded all the checks after we closed the account. I've just got to start writing things down, at 83 some of my tacks aren't so sharp any more. :-)

    Wil came back here a couple days when I had music cd's and sat and listened, even tapping his toe some. Today I found he was in my closet, apparently looking for his slippers and not only had he dragged my slippers out he took ONE of my shoes and put it all under the chair. Then he found his slippers and housecoat and waited for Evelyn while he had breakfast.  I wish he would stumble across Carissa's purse I can't find. :-)

    No other news, we just truck along. Thanks for visiting.
