Dean's Last Full Day Here

I slept well again. It's amazing what having a guest does for my sleep. I got up at 6:00, made the trundle up, dressed, and just as I was finished making up my face in the bathroom, Dean knocked on the door so I turned the bathroom over to him to shave. 

We will go over to Coffeyville this morning so he can look the old hometown over and see the changes are at the Field Kindley High School there. They have made the entire south east corner of the front yard of the school into a parking lot. They did that this year so he hasn't seen it yet.

I don't know whether he will want breakfast over there in Coffeyville or at our Eggbert's here in Caney. When he is finished with all of his bathroom duties, I will ask him. In the meantime, I will fix some coffee while he deals with all that.

More later....

We had some coffee at home and then went to Coffeyville and ate out at their Eggbert's. It was very good. 

Then we drove all around the area and Dean showed me where his relatives had lived when he was a kid. We also went to see the new parking lot at the high school.

Then later, we came back to Caney and spent the afternoon visiting.

We plan to go back to Bartlesville this evening and eat at a steak house.We will leave about 4:30PM. 

We went to Bartlesville to the Rib Crib and had a very good Country Fried hamburger steak complete with french fries and gravy and fried okra. Then we came back to Caney and we  watched TV...until the TV Cable signal stopped working.

I called Cox, as usual, and they tried everything they thought of to get me a signal but nothing worked. So I have no TV again now. The picture isn't tearing this time the signal simply isn't coming through. I thought it might be the remote batteries but I put new batteries in the remote and I was able to reboot the Tivo just fine and get all the programs I had recorded but I couldn't get a signal from Cox for TV. The Motorola box they left me was old and two of the agents who came out to work on the cable in the past said it was obsolete but they said the Tivo needed that particular one to receive a signal. They could not help me. I will call them again Monday and set up a time for a service call.

Dean is going to bed now. And I have had my bath and have my pajamas on and my robe. It is 9:17PM and I will read my Kindle until I get tired enough to go to bed.

Dean will have breakfast here with me in the morning and then leave for that 2 1/2 hour drive back to Topeka afterward. We have a had a very nice visit...as usual.
