I slept well last night again...woke up twice to go to the bathroom but that's nothing new. I got up shortly after 5:00AM and dressed and got myself ready for the day. I am having my breakfast now and drinking my coffee.
It's 6:11AM now and just beginning to get light out. Around 10:30AM this morning I will check with Nancy again and see if she is ready to go to Bartlesville this time. We will shop for a baby gift for her new great grandchild and have lunch probably at McCalister's there by the mall.
I will go check "the weather on the 8's" next. I also want to see if the yard is still clear of leaves. I raked most all of them up yesterday afternoon but if there was any wind overnight, they will be back. That house across the street is a mess.
I was going to put the solar kitty out to catch some rays but I notice there is a hummingbird out there eating so I will wait until it is finished.
The weather station says a high of 97 all week except Sunday when we are forecast for rain. We can use some rain to cool things off.
I fed both yellow cats...Scruff and Blondie. Someone had taken the other cats away. I hope they didn't put them in a gunny sack and drown them. Years ago people did that with stray cats. Hopefully they don't still do that. I had a stray cat come when I lived out on Catalina in Coffeyville and I took it out to a friend's barn to keep down the mice. She was glad to get it. These two are not that much trouble. I usually just feed them morning and night. They are no trouble.
The yard is fairly free of the leaves from the neighbor's tree. I see one or two out there. When I go out to sweep off the walk I will pick them up and put them in the trash.
I got the few leaves put in the trash, watered the plants and deadheaded them...all but the larger flowerbed. I will water it later...after the hummingbirds are gone.
It's 7:56AM now and I just swept off the walk and drive. I really need to back the car out and sweep out the garage. My tires track that gravel the city puts on the streets instead of asphalt into the garage. I can't keep it clean. I try to keep it neat. I have saved a lot of boxes and I have them stacked in the back part of the garage. I guess I will go water the last flowerbed now.
I got that last flowerbed watered and read until time to go pick up Nancy. I got her at 10:30AM and we went on to Bartlesville. We went out to the new strip mall next to Lowe's and she bought a cute baby gift. While we were there, Gina, Nancy's cousin's wife called me and chewed me out for taking Nancy while one of her Comforting Angels was there to care for her. She wanted me to wait until 1:00PM to take Nancy anywhere. That would be a late lunch but I guess we could manage it. Also, she said she leaves the Comforting Angel a list of things to do for Nancy and they are not doing them. The cousin's wife complains to the supervisor but still they don't do the chores. She says they pay $200 a day for Nancy's care and they don't earn it if I take Nancy too early and they are able to leave instead of taking care of Nancy. This is Nancy's money they are talking about. Nancy is independently wealthy and if she doesn't mind, why is it their business?
I then took her to McCalister's for lunch. And afterward I took her home. I stayed a couple of hours and visited with her and then came on home. I have been reading newspapers Suzanne brought while I was gone.
I called Dale, Nancy's cousin, about the questions Nancy had about her trip. She has an expired driver's license and I wondered if that would be valid for identification and he is going to check that out. He also said American Airlines was the only airline with a through flight to North Carolina. So that is undoubtedly the one she will use. He is always congenial.
I see Brandon finally mowed his yard...both front and back. His yard is often a disgrace. 6 -8 inches tall.
I noticed the hummingbird feeder was empty so I brought it in and filled it again with sugar water. Hopefully they will take to it as well as they did this last time.
More even later..back to the book..
It's 4:32PM now and I am going to get back to my latest book.
I watched the CBS news and then read until bath time at 7:00PM. It is 7:27PM now and I will go to bed at 9:00PM. I have a hair appointment in Coffeyville at 9:00-9:30 tomorrow.
