Saturday and More Mowing

 It's 8:33AM now and all I have is "the weather on the 8's". I slept later this morning then usual. it was 6:30AM until I woke up. I went back to my last book and am waiting until later to start my mowing. I don't want to disturb my neighbor's sleep.

So far, there are no cats out there. They may have given up on me...at least so far. 

Here's the weather...Today is to be 84 degrees and mostly sunny and windy, Sunday is to be 86 degrees and sunny, Monday is to be 81 degrees and AM thunderstorms, Tuesday is to be 81 degrees and AM thunderstorms and wind, Wednesday is to be 80 degrees and sunny, Thursday is to be 64 degrees and mostly cloudy, Friday is to be 62 degrees and AM showers . That's the week! Two days of rain...Tuesday and Friday.

So far, no cats and no mowing until later this morning...

I mowed the back yard this morning and the west side just now. It's 3:44PM now.

I went over to Tyro to Jay's and bought two Amish pies for tomorrow's dinner at church...one pecan and one peach, He didn't have any cherry today.

I have not seen any cats but Whitey all day. I did go up to have lunch with Joyce and  Roger, They had a great pork sandwich and I had a can of coke and chips with it.

I am pretty sweaty now. The mowing was very sweaty. I will get back to my last book now. I am also very tired! But at least for a week the mowing is done. I do have to trim sometime after I cool off.

More Even Later...  

Sometime tomorrow after church and the dinner I will trim around the yard. The rest is done for a week.

I took my bath at 7:30PM and put my pajamas on. I will read a John Grisham book until Monday when I can go to the library and get a couple more books. It's 8:04PM now. I plan to go to bed at 9:00PM. I am very tired....quite  bit of mowing today.

Friday and the Grass Mowed

I was up at my usual 5:00AM. Made my bed, dressed and got myself ready for the day. This afternoon, between 3:00PM and 5:00PM,  Krystal's niece will mow my yard. I will pay her $25.00 to do that.

I fed Blondie and Grey and they finished their breakfast and left. I brought in their bowls. 

I also found "the weather on the 8's" and here it is for the week.

Today is to be 78 degrees and sunny, Saturday is to be  83 degrees and mostly sunny and windy. Sunday is to be 87 degrees and sunny. Monday is to be 82 degrees and Mostly sunny, Tuesday is to be 78 degrees and AM rain and wind, Wednesday is to be 83 degrees and sunny, and Thursday is to be 62 degrees and partly cloudy. One day of rain and that's Tuesday.

More Later.. 

Whitey came for his/her breakfast later in the day and ate and then I took the bowl back in the kitchen. 

Krystal's niece never showed up so I mowed the front yard myself. If I have time on Saturday, I will mow the back yard and maybe the west side too. I hope it doesn't rain. It's supposed to rain on Tuesday. I hope it holds up until then.

I read almost all day. I drove over to Tyro to buy a couple of pies for Sunday's dinner but Jay was not open. So it was a wasted trip. I did go on into Coffeyville though since I was that far anyhow. I needed to cash a $50. check one of my classmates had sent me for payment toward stamp money for the class newsletter. I tried to cash it at one of the Caney banks but since I didn't have an account there, they wouldn't cash it. I sent the classmate a thank you card.

While I was over there, I bought gas at a station on 8th street. I didn't try to go out to South Coffeyville again since the Woodshed would not accept my debit card the last two times I went out there to South Coffeyville. Their gas pumps were not working. That station on eighth street did and it saved me a trip out to South Coffeyville.

I read all evening after mowing and finished my second book. I will take it back to the library today.  

I finally went on to bed at 8:30. I was very tired.

I will call Jay tomorrow and see if he will be open on Saturday so I can go back over to Tyro and buy a couple of pies for the dinner at church on Sunday.

Thursday and Laundry

 I slept well last night again. I was up at 5:00AM and made my bed, dressed and got myself ready for the day.

When I opened the front door, Grey was there waiting for breakfast. So I fixed a bowl with wet and dry cat food and took it out to Grey. He ate it and left. I brought the bowl back in and covered it with a napkin..

I took my kitchen trash out to the dumpster and fixed myself some breakfast of a breakfast bar and Chai Latte.  Then I started my laundry.

I also caught "the weather on the 8's" an here it is:

Today is to be 67 degrees and sunny and windy, Friday is to be 74 degrees and sunny, Saturday is to be 83 degrees and mostly sunny and windy.  Sunday is to be 88 degrees and sunny, Monday is to be 82 degrees and PM Thunderstorms, Tuesday is to be partly cloudy and windy and Wednesday is to be 86 degrees and mostly sunny.

That's the week!  Monday's thunderstorms are all the rain we will get this week!

More Later..I need to put the laundry in the dryer. 

I got the clothes dried and put away Then I tried to call Sally to see if she wanted to go to Copan to lunch but she was not home evidently.  No one answered.

So I next drove by her house and sure enough she was sitting in her car where she usually parks it when she returns home from somewhere. She had evidently been somewhere earlier. She does want to go to lunch.

I will pick her up at noon, It's 11:10 right now.

I left for  Coffeyville and my hair appointment about 8:00AM. I had my color and cut and went to the bank there for some cash. It rained all the way over there and back home.

I bought a cherry limeade slush while I waited for my appointment and later after I got back to Caney, I stopped at the Sonic here and bought a chocolate milkshake. That's all I had all day. 

Then I read the rest of the day. I took my bath at 7:00PM and then read some more. I plan to go to bed at 9:00PM.

Tomorrow I will see if  Sally wants to go to Copan for lunch. She doesn't work on Thursdays.
