Wednesday and Bunco

I slept well again last night and was up shortly before 5:00AM, made my bed and got myself ready for the day. The mowing probably helped.  I have had my breakfast and am working on my coffee. I will leave here about 8:30AM for Coffeyville. First there's my hair appointment and then later the Bunco game. 

Suzanne is going to be showing this duplex at 3:00PM so I won't be rushing home. I talked to Jackie Friesburg  last evening and she also has that duplex out at the new addition for sale. The units sell separately there and the one that is left is listed at $75,000. It is three bedrooms. Neither the kids nor I am in any position to buy a property these days. But the neighborhood would really be nicer. My immediate neighborhood here could use a vast improvement. The house across the street to the north is a mess and the one catty cornered and across the street from it on the corner of 8th and State is even worse. The weeds are three feet high there. It has only been mowed once in the time I have lived here. And I called the city and asked them to mow it then. There are tree limbs down in the front yard and they didn't even move them...just mowed a small space around them.  It is empty and really unlivable.

The problem with small towns is they have no ordinances to keep that from happening.

More later...I should catch the weather and also see what cats are out there for breakfast.

There was just Blondie and Scruff out there for breakfast. Still no Inky or Scruffie.

The are still forecasting rain for Sunday, Monday and Tuesday.

I see Brandon got his front yard mowed last evening after I mowed mine. The back is still a mess. I hope he gets it mowed this morning. Hopefully Suzanne has advised him she will be showing the duplex this afternoon. It is in our contracts that the mowing had to be done weekly. He pushes it.

Brandon did get his back yard mowed but the clippings are all scattered all over the top of the yard. Still looks messy.

When I got out of game day I wanted to call Marilyn Rutledge. She is still down in the back and could not come.I took her the rest of the strawberries and the little cakes too. She loves strawberries and I am glad to share them.

When I got ready to call her, I realized I had no cell service. I stopped out at US Cellular and there were many cars there. Their tower was down and the engineers were working on it. By the time I got home, I had service again.

It's 5:00PM now. I will go watch the news  after I open my mail. I set the solar kittty out to absorb some of the sun's rays.

More later... 

John came by a couple of hours ago and did some measuring  for the proposed flowerbed in the front. He also looked at the low hanging limbs on the tree in the front. He is going to bring his chain saw and do some sawing on those limbs on the tree in the front. Every time I mow the front, I have to duck to keep from hitting my head on those low hanging limbs.

He wasn't able to find those metal plates he wanted to put on the corners of the new flower box. I thought I might try a lumber yard. He's going to build it to fit around the mailbox. He will use a 2X12 he has on hand.  

At 7:00PM,I took my bath and am watching the weather channel.

I plan to go to bed at 9:00PM. If I read it may be a little later.
