Monday and A Cold Day

I slept well last night and was up at 5:30AM, dressed, made my bed and got myself ready for the day. I have not checked on the cats. I imagine they are plenty cold too. I will check on them soon. I was in the process of fixing their breakfasts when "the weather on the 8's" came on and I took a picture of it.

Here it is: Today is to be 40 degrees and AM clouds and PM Sun Tuesday is to be 54 degrees and partly cloudy. Wednesday is to be 56 degrees and cloudy. Thursday is to be 43 degrees and sunny, Friday is to be 44 degrees and mostly sunny Saturday is to be 50 degrees and partly cloudy  Sunday is to be 40 degrees and partly cloudy. That's the week! Now I will check out the cats and get back to this after that.

Sure enough! There were five cats out there waiting for their breakfasts. Blondie. Grey, Blackie and two small black cats. I took out five bowls and they are eating heartily.

More Even Later...

 

Monday and Four Cats

I slept well last night and was up at 6:00AM  I made my bed, dressed  and put myself together and checked out the cats. There were four out there waiting for me to open the front door. There was Blondie, Grey, and two black cats.   I fixed their breakfasts and waited for "the weather on the 8's". I took a photo of it and came in here to the den to put it on my Blog. It's 7:19AM now. Here is the forecast for the week..

Today is to be  52 degrees and sunny, and tomorrow is to be 55 degrees and mostly sunny Saturday is to be 65 degrees and mostly sunny, Sunday is to be 75 degrees and mostly sunny and windy.

Tuesday and Game Day at the Senior Center

I was up very early this morning...4:00AM or so. I slept well but just wasn't sleepy enough to stay asleep. I finally got up and dressed and got myself ready for the day.

I caught "the weather on the 8's" finally too. After awhile I checked out the cats. There were several out there waiting for their breakfasts  Blackie, Grey, Blondie and one small black cat.

I saw Stephen had stayed overnight in their apartment and picked up his coffee cake. He probably heated it up and ate it.

Tuesday it is to be 64 degrees and sunny, Wednesday 56 degrees and sunny and my hair day, Thursday  is to be 54 degrees and sunny, Friday is to be 53 degrees and mostly cloudy, Saturday is to be 62 degree sand partly cloudy Sunday is to be 72 degrees and Partly Cloudy and Monday is to be 59 degrees and Partly Cloudy.

I finally caught the four cats and got them fed. They are still eating  out by the front door. I haven't caught "the weather on the 8's" yet. But I will continue to check.

More Later.. Stephen and his family came to pick up the coffeecake. I think they may have stayed overnight. At least their car is still there and it's 7:00AM.

Even more later...

A Cox tech will be back on the 19th between 1:00PM and 3:00PM to try to get my TV working right again. It has been a trial!

They constantly have a warning on the screen saying "There seems to be a connection issue 

Furthermore it goes on to say "Connection issues  To fix this, tune to a different channel. Check that the TV and box channels are firmly connected and not damaged and then tune back to this channel in a few minutes.

There was no way I could go on over to Coffeyville for my appointment. I will call Toni and tell her I cannot make it today. There was nothing but rain. It was also very dark out there.

More Later...

Saturday and More Rain

 I was up and around early this morning.  I dressed and caught the "weather on the 8's". and here it is. I have the cats fed too. There were five cats out there. And I took a picture of the weather forecast. This is Saturday and the forecast is for 63 degrees and partly cloudy, Tomorrow is to be 66 degrees and sunny. Monday is to be 69 degrees and sunny. Tuesday is to be 70 degrees and mostly sunny, Wednesday is to be 66 degrees and partly cloudy, Thursday is to be 66 degrees and mostly sunny, Friday is to be 69 degrees and mostly sunny.

Friday and Lots of Change

I have been going over the information I learned from the TV and the phone calls yesterday and have checked out the weather forecast and have the week's weather. Today is to be 58 degrees and rain.  Saturday is to be 64 degrees and partly cloudy, Sunday is to be 66 degrees and sunny, Monday is to be 69 degrees and partly cloudy, Tuesday is to be 70 degrees and mostly sunny, Wednesday is to be 67 degrees and mostly sunny,  Thursday is to be 65 degrees and sunny. That's the week!

I haven't checked on the cats yet but I soon will.

More Later...

Sure enough! There were three black cats and Blondie out there waiting for their breakfast. I took four bowls out there and they are all eating now.

Thursday and The Weather Again

I slept well last night, dressed early and turned on the TV  to "the weather on the 8's". Here it is for the week.

Today is to be 83 degrees and sunny, tomorrow is to be 62 degrees and rain,  Saturday is to be 63 degrees and partly cloudy, Sunday is to be 65 degrees and partly cloudy, Monday is to be 68 degrees and sunny, Tuesday is to be 73 degrees and partly cloudy, Wednesday is to be 66 degrees and partly cloudy. That's the week!

I haven't checked on the cats yet. I imagine they are very hungry. That's my next thing to check out.

So More Later... 

There were five cats waiting for their breakfasts. Four of them were black and then there was Blondie. I fixed them each a bowl and set it out just out the front door. They are now eating greedily. I bought a whole box of wet cat food yesterday at Walmart in Coffeyville.  That's 12 cans. That should fill them up! Hopefully. It will take a couple of days for them to eat that much. I also filled their water bowls.

More Even Later...

WEDNESDAY AND BUNCO

 I have really messed up my blog and my contact too. In trying  to get my contact out of the right eye. it has evidently pushed it into the back part of my eye. I now cannot get it out. I am probably going have to stop over to Dr. Dobbins and get her to find it and get it out for me. What a mess!

I have my hair appointment and Bunco at the senior center too. What a busy day!

I did get "the weather on the 8's". Today is be 66 degrees and mostly sunny, tomorrow is to be 64 degrees and mostly sunny, Friday is to be 64 degrees and showers,  Saturday is to be 66 degrees and AM rain. Sunday is to be 65 degrees and sunny. That's the week!

My hair appointment is at 9:00AM this morning. It's almost 6:00 AM now.

More Later.... I haven't checked on the cats yet. They are probably very hungry. 

Monday and Much Rain

I am amazed at the amount of rain we have had this week. I think it has rained some every day. I wonder if it has flooded over at Coffeyville. Coffeyville is given to flood.

I haven't checked on the cats yet.  But I did get "the weather on the 8's". Here it is. Today is to be 68 degrees and more thunderstorms, Tomorrow is Tuesday and  it is to be 61 degrees and partly cloudy, Wednesday is to be 66 degrees mostly sunny, Thursday is to be 64 degrees and mostly sunny, Friday is to be 64 degrees and showers, Saturday is to be 66 degrees and AM rain, Sunday is to be 65 degrees and sunny.   That's the week! 

The TV is working this morning. The past two days it has been a mess. I have spent hours trying to get it to function. It's not the TV, it's Cox. They cannot seem to get the signal through to me on a regular basis. So far, so good, this morning. I have a tech coming here Thursday  between 1:00PM  and 3:00PM to try to get it working on a regular basis. I hope that works.

It's  6:04AM according to my phone. My watch still says 7:04AM. It doesn't do daylight savings time on it's own like the phone does. It has the day of the week right but not the time. If I want to to have daylight savings time on it, I will have to hunt that woman down at the Independence Walmart and hope she is still with them and will set this watch like she has the past two years. Not everyone knows how to do that. There's a jewelry store in downtown Bartlesville that can do it but they don't open until almost noon. I don't want to spend that much time down there.

More Later... 

Now I will go check out the cats. According to the phone, its 6:51AM now. 

There were three cats out there...very hungry..and it's raining. I set two of the bowls out the front door but that is difficult because they always want to come in the apartment  and I am not having that! The third bowl I took out through the garage and into the rain. Luckily it wasn't raining hard and I got the bowl in the dry place next to the front door without getting anything more then damp. The cats were Grey, Blondie, and Blackie. The little pregnant black cat was not out there yet. 

I have one more bowl. The two small bowls I left out the overnight had been taken by the same dogs that  took the others I lost. I went out to the dollar store over on the highway and bought two more large aqua colored bowls last evening. I really wanted the small ones but Dollar General had none at all and beggars can't be choosers.

More Later...back to the TV..According to the watch, it's 7:58AM now.  According to the phone it is 6:58AM. Very confusing! More Later...

A Severe Thunderstorm Warning

We are under a severe thunderstorm warning until 9:00AM this morning. Oklahoma City has already been struck with one. I will not get out to go to church today. I do not drive during active storms.

I did catch "the weather on the 8's" and here is what it is.  Today will be 70 degrees and heavy thunderstorms. Tomorrow is to be 69 degrees and heavy thunderstorms. Tuesday is to be 61 degrees and partly cloudy, Wednesday  is to be 67 degrees and partly cloudy. Thursday is to be 66 degrees and partly cloudy,  Friday is to be 65 degrees and showers. Saturday is to be 66 degrees and AM showers. That's the week! Lots of rain this week.

More Later...

 

Saturday and Lunch With Gabby

Nearly every Saturday I have lunch at Gabby's,'' a local downtown restaurant. Both Joyce, her real name, and her husband. have jobs during the week in Coffeyville but this restaurant is kind of a hobby for them. Joyce does all the cooking and he does all the serving. They enjoy it and their children are grown and they have grandchildren who sometime help at the restaurant as a part time job. His name is not occurring to me right now but it should still. I had a high school boy friend by the same name and it's very simple. It's just that this morning, I am simple too ;) It's just this morning and it isn't coming to me. 

It's now occurring to me!. And he was my date to the Aqua Fiesta swim suit contest where I won 4th prize and had my photo in the newspaper.  Now I remember what it is! It is Roger!

That took a moment. I checked on the weather but not the cats..not yet! 

I'd better get to the weather..maybe that will be easier.

Today is Saturday and is to be 72 degrees and cloudy. I'd better remember my coffee cake which is in the oven. I'd better check on it! 

Tomorrow is to be 69 and Thunderstorms, Monday is to be 69 degrees and Thunderstorms, Tuesday is to be 61 degrees and  is to be 69 degrees and PM sun. Wednesday is to be 66 degrees sunny, and  Thursday is to be 66 degrees and showers and Friday is to be 63 degrees and showers. That's the week's weather forecast.

More Later .....

Thursday and Rain

It's 6:22AM and I have been watching the weather channel. This is the forecast for the area.This is Thursday and 65 degrees and sunny, Tomorrow is Friday and 72 degrees and sunny, Saturday is to be 69 degrees and rain, Sunday is to be 72 degrees and thunderstorms and Monday is to be 70 degrees and thunderstorms.

I am to take cookies to the First Christian Church in Independence today about 9:30AM.

I woke up in the night to the sound of rain. I got up and looked and sure enough, it was raining. It's always a good thing here in Caney, to get rain. We get so little of it.

I haven't checked on the cats yet. I fed them off and on all day yesterday.  Today I have fed four of them. They are eating now. Two Blackies, Blondie, and Grey.

When Dollar General opens at 8:00AM I will go buy some more Sustain. That will keep my right eye moist. It did yesterday so I am hoping it will today too. I ran out of it yesterday. 

More Even Later... 

It's 6:57AM and It's not 8:00AM yet so Dollar General is not open yet. 

Wednesday and the 30th of October

I have been up quite early. I haven't turned on the TV or opened the door for the cats. I think it was around 4:00AM when I woke up. I put my contact in this morning and so far it is doing fine. I did sweep leaves out of the garage...not that it will do any good! The neighbor's trees have covered my yard with leaves. It is a lost cause. I will go over to Coffeyville when it begins to get light. I think my hair appointment is at 9:00AM. Toni changes it some of the time so I can't be sure.

And another thing... I think I have shingles again. My front and even my back, stings like it. I may drop by Urgent Care while I am in Coffeyville today and check with the nurse there.

I did drop by the Urgent Care and the nurse wasn't sure I had the shingles. The are stinging areas both on my front and back so I am not sure she's right. She did order the medicine for me though.

Monday and the weather Forcast

More on the rest of the Blog this afternoon after church. I fed the cats and then finished my coffeecake.  I fed the cats but never did find the debit card.

I fed the cats and then finally found the debit card.

And I did finally even  caught "the weather on the 8's

How Tragic! More Later... 

I am to go to Leslie's at 10:45AM this morning and put my suitcase, bedroll and pillow in her car and leave my car in her garage. Then we will go to  Karan's and put her suitcase and bedroll and luggage in Leslie's car too. Then we will leave for the reunion grounds for the weekend. We will go to the campgrounds just over the weekend. It's an overnight women's retreat. We will come back home the next day....on Saturday.

It has been raining and thundering this morning.

More Later... 

Thursday and 92 Degrees

I didn't catch "the weather on the 8's" yesterday. I went to Game Day at the senior center in Coffeyville. We had a good time with some really good treats.

So today I have done my best to catch up on the week. All six cats were out there for their breakfast this morning I fed them and then cleaned up their bowls.

Tomorrow is to be our trip to the Church's campgrounds. I will go to Leslie's at 10:45AM and put my car in her garage and put my luggage and my pillow and my weekend camping stuff in her car. I will take one medium sized luggage bag and my purse, that bag and my phone..

Tomorrow is Friday and also our trip to pick up Karan in Coffeyville and put her luggage and pillow in Leslie's car too. It is to be 77 degrees..We will leave for the campgrounds from there. We will be taking Leslie's car to the campgrounds.

The weekend is a women's retreat so it is just a weekend and we will be coming back home after just an overnight stay. 

Saturday was to be 76 degrees and  Sunday is to be 82 degrees and we will be back home by then.

Monday and Tuesday are to be 85 degrees and next Wednesday is to be 84 degrees and sunny, That is the week!

Now I am thinking of going to the Copan Restaurant for my lunch.

More Even Later... 

I went down to Copan Restaurant for my lunch but they were closed. Their owner, John Cheney, had died and they were closed for a few days until after the funeral.

Several days ago, I had stopped at Big Cheese in Independence and bought a small pizza. I couldn't eat it all so I had them box it up and I took it home and put it in the frig. So I put it in the microwave just now and warmed it up and are eating that. It is still good!

More Even Later ....

 

Tuesday and Cool Weather

 I noticed yesterday that it was very cool out. I went out several times to feed the cats and it was always pretty cool. I haven't checked on them yet today. I was up and dressed at 4:30AM this morning. I turned on the TV and watched for "the weather on the 8's". It finally came on and I got it on the camera on my phone.

So here's the week's forecast. Today is to be 92 degrees and sunny, Tomorrow is to be 84 degrees and sunny, Thursday is to be 92 degrees and sunny and windy, Friday is to be 79 degrees and sunny, Saturday is to be 76 degrees mostly sunny, Sunday is to be 82 degrees and partly cloudy, and Monday is to 85 degrees and partly cloudy and windy. and that's the week!

More Later.... 

I will pack for the weekend on Thursday and get my bedroll down from the shelf in my closet and put everything I am taking in my car. 

I will leave Leslie's at 10:45  When I get to her place I will transfer my stuff to her car and put my car in her garage. Then we will go pick up Karan and put her stuff in Leslie's car too. Then we will leave for the reunion grounds.

So more even Later..

There were only two cats out there waiting for their breakfast and I fixed two bowls of both wet and dry cat food for them I imagine they will be joined by more very soon..as soon as the others see they are eating. I will watch for more and fix more food bowls as soon as that happens.

More Even Later...

Thursday and a Different Day

I was up and dressed and ready for the day by 4:00AM. Yesterday I learned the electricity had been off here in Caney and I wasn't even aware of it. I had been over to Coffeyville to the senior center for Bunco. It was back on when I got home later in the afternoon. But when I turned on the computer this morning and it wasn't going to boot up, I had to hit the "On" button and wait for the computer to finally come up. Finally it did. I waited for the blog to come up too. It took awhile. When I checked my phone I found a message from the power company about the outage. By then it was back up. Since I was at Coffeyville, I wasn't even aware of an outage until I saw that message.

I was going to have my Chai Latte this morning and the Keurig came up just fine but I didn't have any breakfast bars so later this morning at 8:00AM I will go to Dollar General and buy some more.

I haven't checked the cats yet this morning. I found them very hungry when I got home from Coffeyville yesterday so I fed five of them before bedtime. I imagine they are out there hungry this morning. Soon I will check.

Sure enough...there were 6 cats out there waiting for their breakfast. I refilled the bowls once because they ate all the food in those dishes.

More Even Later... 

I think I will go up to the Copan Restaurant for my lunch today.  They didn't have any German Chocolate pie last time I was there earlier this week. I had cherry in it's place but it's not the same. It's 6:52AM now.

More Later... 

"The weather on the 8's" was up and I took a photo of it. Here it is: Thursday (today) is to be 72 degrees and sunny, Friday is to be 76 degrees and  sunny, Saturday is to be 78 degrees and mostly sunny, Sunday is to be 79 degrees and  sunny, Monday is to be 75 degrees and PM showers, Tuesday is to be 86 degrees and sunny, Wednesday is to be 85 degrees and mostly sunny. That's the week!

More Even Later....

Wednesday and Bunco at the Senior Center

I was up at 5:00AM and dressed and got myself ready for the day. I will be going to Bunco at the senior center at Coffeyville at 1:00PM. First I will have my hair done at 9:30AM. 

I caught "the weather on the 8's" and here it is:Today is to be 66 degrees and sunny, Thursday is to be 71 degrees and sunny, Friday  is to be 76 degrees and sunny, Saturday is to be 76 degrees and mostly sunny, Sunday is to be 79 degrees and sunny Monday is to be 75 degrees and showers, Tuesday is to be 84 degrees and sunny.  That's the weather forecast for the week. At 7:00AM, I will leave for Coffeyville if it's light outside. 

More Later.. It's not light out yet. It's 7:07AM and I will have to wait until it is light out there. I opened the door to five cats and got them food ...both wet and dry. They are eating now. 

I imagine it will be light closer to 8:00AM. It is 7:18 AM now.

Tuesday and The Weather Forecast

It's 7:22AM now and I have been up an hour, made my bed, dressed and got myself ready for the day. I haven't checked on the cats yet but I have checked out the weather forecast.  Here it is. Today is to be 66 degrees and sunny and windy, Wednesday is to be 65 degrees and sunny. Thursday is to be 71 degrees and sunny,  Friday is to be 75 degrees and sunny, Saturday is to be 76 degrees and windy and sunny, Sunday is to be 79 degrees and sunny, Monday is to be 75 degrees and PM Showers. That's the week! Several days of sunny and one day of PM showers and Tuesday sunny and windy. 

I think I will go down to Copan Restaurant for lunch today

More Later...Now I will check on the cats .   

There were five cats out there waiting for their breakfasts. I have one more bowl so I will have to go to Dollar General when they open at 8:00AM and get some more wet cat food. They went through all I bought yesterday. 

I have one half a can left and I am saving it for later. It's 8:00AM so Dollar General is open now.

More Later.. I put that half can of wet cat food in a bowl and set it out for one of the black cats. Those cats are very hungry every day. I also went to Dollar General and bought another box of wet cat food and some M and M candy for my two candy dishes. It's been awhile since I have done that. I also bought a half gallon of ice cream for me. The cats got cat food and I got ice cream.

Monday and a Weather Forecast

I was up a couple of hours ago and made up my bed, dressed and got myself ready for the day. Then I made up my face and caught "the weather on the 8's". The apartment was chilly so I turned up the heat.

Here is the weather forecast. Today is to be 71 degrees and sunny, tomorrow is to be 67 degrees, sunny and windy.and  Wednesday is to be 66 degrees and sunny, Thursday is to be 71 degrees and sunny, Friday is to be 76 degrees and sunny, Saturday is to be 79 degrees and sunny, Sunday is to be 77 degrees and partly cloudy. That's the week...mostly sunny..except for the Sunday that is to be partly cloudy. and the Tuesday that is to be sunny and windy.

More Later.... 

I should check on the cats now. I imagine they are very hungry. 

Sure enough, they were.  I read awhile and then made food for the cats. Five of them were out there very hungry! I fixed them dry cat food and wet cat food and set it out there. They ate until they were full and I watched TV awhile and then I went out to Eggbert's and had lunch. Then I went back to reading the book again. It's 2:52 PM now. I saved the rest of the lunch and put it in a box for later.

I checked the mail but there was none. The dumpster was emptied by the dumpster people and I set it in the garage. I went out to Dollar General and bought more dry cat food.

More Later....

Sunday and A New Weather Forecast

I was up early as usual and dressed, made my bed and watched for the weather forecast. It is 6:23AM. In  an hour I will leave for the church. Now I am ready to watch for the weather forecast. Here it is. Today is to be 83 degrees and sunny, Tomorrow is to be 71 degrees and sunny, Tuesday is to be 68 degrees and sunny, Wednesday is to be 67 degrees and sunny, Thursday is to be 73 degrees and sunny, Friday is to be 77 degrees and mostly sunny,  Saturday is to be 68 degrees and showers. That's the week! Six days of sunny and one of showers and that day is to be Saturday.

I took it to church and several of us had some of it. I will save the rest of it for Stephen.. my landlord. He likes it a lot.

Karan and Phyllis and I went to Eggbert's in Coffeyville for lunch. It was very good.   

More Even Later...

Saturday and a Busy Day

I was awake at 6:00AM, dressed, made my bed and got myself ready for the day. The first thing I did was get my bed made and make myself ready. I thought I might get my coffeecake made a day early and take it over to the church early tomorrow.

Karan will be presiding for church. John and Leslie won't be there. They will be going to Mapleton, KS, with the RV Association and painting their church. I am sure Woody and Jodie Wilson will be there too. Woody is in charge of the RV Association. Leslie has a video service ready for Karan to use and she will run the computer that will show that video for church. I think this is the first time Karan will have done that. It's good to have several people that can do that...just in case. Melissa and Kelly will not be there tomorrow either.

More Later . I have "the weather on the 8's" recorded. Here it is...Today is to be 95 degrees and mostly sunny. Tomorrow is to be 84 degrees and sunny, Monday is to be 71 degrees and sunny, Tuesday is to be 72 degrees and sunny, Wednesday is to be 70 degrees and sunny. Thursday is to be 76 degrees and sunny, Friday is to be 79 degrees and partly cloudy. That's the week! Every day except two is to be sunny and Friday is to be partly cloudy and Saturday is to be mostly sunny. The rest of the week is to be sunny. 

Soon I will check on the cats. If they are out front, they are probably very hungry. Seems they always are.

Grey and Blackie were the only two out there...so I fed them. I am sure some others will be along later... There are usually six of them every day, sometimes twice a day..morning and evening.

More Even Later...

Friday and "The Weather on the 8's"

It's 5:48AM now and I have made my bed but still have to get my face made up. and get myself ready for the day.  I have been balancing my checkbook instead of getting myself ready for the day. I will get that done and then get back to this blog.

Well, I got that done and am ready for the day.

I even balanced my checkbook. Now I will go check on "the weather on the 8's " and the cats.

I found "the weather on the 8's" after I got my face made up. Then I checked on the cats.There were six out there...all black..no Blondie yet. I  using all six dishes to feed those six cats.

Here's the weather forecast.

Today is to be 91 degrees and sunny, tomorrow is to be 94 degrees and sunny, Sunday is to be 84 degrees and partly cloudy, Monday is to be 71 degrees and sunny, Tuesday is to be 75 degrees and sunny, Wednesday is to be 75 degrees and sunny and Thursday is to be 81 degrees and sunny. That's the week! Every day is to be sunny except one and that is Sunday...which is to be partly cloudy.

There were six cats out there and I used all the dishes to feed them. Only one ate, left and walked away across the street.

More Later... 

I'd better get back in the living room and the front door. Yesterday the dog belonging to the neighbor to the south  carried off two of the bowls into their front yard and I had to go get them and take them in the house. I don't want to deal with that again today.

More Even Later ...

Thursday and "the Weather on the 8's"

 It's Thursday and I just caught the weather forecast. I haven't opened the door yet to check on the cats. They will all be hungry when I do..I know.

Lots of sunshine this next week. Three days of partly cloudy and four days of sunny. That's the week!

More Later...

Tuesday and a new Keurig

Yesterday afternoon I went up to Independence's Walmart store and bought a new Keurig to use to make Chai Latte. The old one I have had for years sprung a leak somehow and every time i wanted to use it I had to use paper towels to mop up the mess it made on the counter top. I decided it was time! They were on sale at Wal Mart there in Independence. They were $40.00. I could hardly beat the price. I brought it home and set it on the counter top where the old one had set. I was uncertain how to fill it with water though. The water reservoirs  were different. I called Leslie and asked her to drop by on her way to pick up Diana in Bartlesville and go over the directions with me. She agreed to come show me how this one is filled at 8:00AM this morning. It's 7:30:AM now so I still have some time.

More Later.... 

 I did catch "the weather on the 8's" although I haven't opened the front door yet to check on the cats. Here's the weather forecast though! Today is to be 83 degrees and mostly sunny, Wednesday is to be 87 degrees and sunny, Thursday is to be 87 degrees and partly cloudy, Friday is to be 88 degrees and sunny, Saturday is to be 92 degrees and sunny, Sunday is to be 75 degrees and mostly sunny, And Monday is to be 71 degrees and mostly sunny! That's the week! Mostly sunny every day but Thursday and that is partly cloudy.

More Even Later...

Monday and the Weather Forecast

It's 7:24AM and I have been up quite awhile. In fact I have been up most of the night...off and on. I did finally get "the weather on the 8's". I haven't even looked for the cats. I will get to that a little later.

Right now I will post the weather forecast. Today is to be 81 degrees and sunny, Tuesday is to be 82 degrees and sunny and Wednesday is to be 86 degrees and sunny, Thursday is to be 86 degrees and partly cloudy, Friday is to be 89 degrees and sunny, Saturday is to be 92 degrees and sunny and Sunday is to be 87 degrees partly cloudy and that's the week! Five days of sunny and two days of partly cloudy.

Now I should check on the cats. More Later...

There were three black cats and Grey out there. So far..no Blondie. As soon as the market opens or Dollar General, I will buy some dry cat food. Right now they are eating only wet cat food by itself. 

I went to Dollar General and bought some dry cat food to add to their bowls. Then I went to the Caney Grocery and bought two Coffee Cake mixes. That cost a bit but I needed everything I bought. I see Blondie is out there now. I took him some dry cat food for half of his bowl.

More Later...

Sunday and Brownies instead of Coffeecake.

I was up at 4:00AM this morning. I had slept well, made my bed and got myself ready for the day. I checked and I had no coffeecake mix. So I made brownies instead for the church breakfast. That won't be the same but I forgot to buy the coffeecake mix before I left for Springfield this weekend..unfortunately.  

We had a very good time at Springfield. Leslie was ordained a leader in our Mission Center. I left my bulletin at her house so I can't think of her new title. 

She got my text and answered me. She is a Bishop! I will leave this on my blog in case I have another lapse in memory. Thanks Leslie!

Friday and a Mission Center Conference at Springfield

Leslie called me last evening and asked me if I was planning on going to the Mission Center Conference at Springfield. I had forgotten which weekend it was so I was glad to be reminded. I am to go to their house today and put my luggage and pillow and sleeping bag in her car. Then I will put my car in Leslie's garage.  We will take her car... so I packed most everything last evening and loaded it into my car this morning. I will drive out to their house at 9:30AM this morning. We will still be coming back home on Saturday. It's just an overnight conference.

Karan had planned to go too but she forgot she is to work the front   desk at the Coffeyville hospital on Fridays.

So more later... 

And the man that sprays the apartment will be here to spray while I  am gone.. to do his annual spraying. 

More Even Later..

It's a good thing I have this blog. I was expecting to be going to a retreat and instead I am going to a Mission Center conference. Thank goodness Leslie reads the blog. That's fine. I always enjoy those too and see lots of people I know and enjoy some really good food.

I did catch "the weather on the 8's" and here it is. Today will be 94 degrees and sunny, Saturday is to be 93 degrees and sunny, Sunday is to be 88 degrees and sunny, Monday is to be 82 degrees and sunny, Tuesday is to be 83 degrees and partly cloudy, Wednesday is to be 86 degrees and mostly sunny and Thursday is to be 87 degrees and  sunny. That's the week! Five days of sunny, One day of partly cloudy and one day of mostly sunny.

It's beginning to rain now, I see! At least the concrete is wet.

Thursday and Copan Lunch

I was up at 5:00AM this morning and dressed, made my bed and got myself ready for the day. I plan to go to Copan for lunch today at 11:30AM. Hopefully the weather will be nice. The forecast all week has been sunny.

The cats ate a lot yesterday.. morning and evening. I did too. I ate  a bowl of Rocky Road ice cream yesterday afternoon. It was very good. I will have to be careful not to overeat and gain weight. 

I guess I will go check the weather and maybe the cats too.

More Later... 

I did catch "the weather on the 8's"

More Even Later... 

I still haven't checked on the cats I had better do that now .

I found three black cats and Blondie waiting for their food. I will need to get some more wet cat food today at Dollar General.. 

And I had two more packages of pecans for my coffeecake for Sunday.

More Even Later.. I also want to see if they have any more pecan pieces for my coffeecake for next Sunday. Sure enough..I did. I will watch for more pecans. They had walnuts but I want pecans for my  coffeecake. I will watch for more.

Before I went to Copan Restaurant for my lunch. I mowed my front yard and the west side. It's a nice day and if I can still mow the back yard, I will do that this afternoon. My neighbor across the street saw me trying to start the mower and came over and asked me if I would let him try to start the mower for me. He got it done just fine. That was nice of him.

If it stays easy to start. I will get the back done too. I also got all the leaves in the black plastic bag and and the bag in the dumpster put the mower back in the garage. 

All I have to do is the back yard now. And it is easy to do. It's smaller then the front and west side.

More Later....

Wednesday and Bunco

I slept well last night but woke up before midnight. It was 11:51PM when I got out of bed. I made my bed, dressed and got myself ready for the day. It is still before midnight...Barely. I will go over to Coffeyville for Bunco this afternoon after I get my hair done this morning at 9:00AM. It is Wednesday now.

Tuesday and a Good Night's Sleep

 I was awake at 5:30AM, made my bed, dressed, and got myself ready for the day. It is 6:33AM now. I am cleaning my keyboard now. It is smudged from using it.

I haven't checked on the cats or "the weather on the 8's" yet.

I would like some Chai Latte and a breakfast bar but the Keurig is leaking again and it needs cleaning. I am tempted to buy a new one. They are sometimes on sale but usually around the holidays.

More Later... 

I did get "the weather on the 8's". Today is to be 78 degrees and sunny, Wednesday is to be 84 degrees and sunny, Thursday is to be 93 degrees and sunny, Friday is to be 91 degrees and sunny, Saturday is to be 92 degrees and sunny, Sunday is to be 89 degrees and sunny, and Monday is to be 83 degrees and sunny. That's a whole week of sunny.

More Even Later.. I see it is windy outside today.

Next I will check on the cats.. 

Blondie and Grey were out there so I took some cat food out to the both of them.The wet cat food had been in the frig but they ate it anyhow.  When Dollar General opens at 8:00AM, I will have to go buy more wet cat food. Surely the others will be around by then. It's 7:50AM right now.

I went to Dollar General to get wet cat food but that and typing paper was all I could get, They had no pecan pieces. 

More Even Later

Monday and Cleaning the Apartment

I woke up very early, made my bed and got myself ready for the day. I had my Chai Latte and a breakfast bar for a light breakfast.

At 7:00AM, I fed 4 cats. They were Blondie, Grey and two small black cats. 

Then I caught "the weather on the 8's" and here it is. 

Today is to be 90 degrees and sunny, Tuesday is to be 79 degrees and sunny, Wednesday is to be 87 degrees and sunny, Thursday is to be 93 degrees and sunny.

More Even Later... 

I lack only the  den to be swept. I got the rest of it done. I even went up to the Mainstreet garage and had Sherry's brother drive my car. Neither of us heard the clattering noise today. Who knows what it was. I sure don't. He didn't either.

More  Even Later

Sunday and Coffeecake at Church

I fed several cats this morning and again this afternoon, I left for church early and it was almost too sunny to drive with the sun so bright. I managed though. The sun was very bright. I got to church and cut my coffee cake into pieces for each of us. There were nine of us in attendance. Billie Jo was back with us but Gene didn't come. I got the letter out too late. He will probably get his tomorrow or Tuesday.

Leslie had the service. She did a good job. 

Stephen will come over Tuesday and pick up his coffeecake.

Perhaps More Later...

Sunday and Coffeecake

I woke up at 4:00AM, dressed and made up my face and my bed and got myself ready for the day. I never did get the apartment cleaned this week. I will try to get to it sometime today. I will be going to church  this morning so it will probably be this afternoon before I get it done. But it needs to be done. 

I need to check on the cats too. But not right away. It's only 4:46AM now. I will also need to check on "the weather on the 8's" eventually.

More Later... 

There was one little black cat waiting for it's breakfast and a strange one I have never seen before. It ran off when I raised the garage door to take their food out to them.

More Even Later... 

Blondie came for his breakfast too so I took a bowl out to him. The little black cat is still eating too. 

More Even Later... 

I finally found "the weather on the 8's" .Today is to be 87 degrees and sunny, Monday is to be 89 degrees and sunny, Tuesday is to be 80 degrees and sunny. Wednesday is to be 87 degrees and sunny,  Thursday is to be 92 degrees and sunny, Friday is to be 90 degrees and  sunny, Saturday is to be 89 degrees and sunny! That's the week!

An entire week of sunshine! 

Saturday and Apartment Cleaning

I never did get the apartment cleaned this week. I will try to get it done today after I get the Coffeecake made. I did get the laundry done.

I looked out the front door a little bit ago and did not see any cats at all. I did catch "the weather on the 8's" though. Here it is. Today is to be 86 degrees and partly cloudy, Tomorrow is to be 87 degrees and sunny, Monday is to be 88 degrees and sunny, and Tuesday is to be 81 degrees and sunny, Wednesday is to be 86 degrees and sunny, Thursday is to be 92 degrees and sunny and Friday is to be 87 degrees and sunny. That's the week! All week is to be sunny except today ! It's to be partly cloudy.

More Later...

I will check again for the cats. Surely they must be hungry! 

I had my Chai Latte and a breakfast bar for my light breakfast. I don't know if I will eat breakfast at Eggbert's again now or not. I will check for cats again now.

Grey was the only cat out there so I opened the door cautiously and set his food out there. He is eating it now. So far there are not any more cats out there. I got the coffeecake finished and out of the oven and now am back to my blog. I haven't seen any more cats at all...not yet any how!  

More Even Later.. 

Friday and Apartment Cleaning

I slept well last night and was up about 3:35AM. I made my bed and dressed and got myself ready for the day. I have made my Chai Latte and a breakfast bar for my breakfast. I am just starting my blog and will go to Eggbert's later for more breakfast...probably an Omelet with sausage.

I want to clean the apartment this morning and do some laundry too.

I started raking yesterday evening but it's going to be big job if I get it done.

In the past, when I have raked the leaves into piles, I have gathered them up into big plastic bags and put them in the trash container. If I do that this time, it may take several days. We will see! I was several years younger at that time too. I could mow them but that too would be a big job.

I finally opened the front door and saw four cats waiting for their breakfast.There was Blondie, Grey and two small kittens. I fixed them all a dish of both wet and dry cat food and they began eating. 

In a little while I will go eat breakfast at Eggbert's.

I fixed a box for one of the cats to crawl into for warmth.  I put a small rug in it for additional warmth.

I also caught "the weather on the 8's" and here it is.

Today is to be 83 degrees and partly cloudy, Saturday is to be 85 degrees and partly cloudy, Sunday is to be 86 degrees and partly cloudy, Monday is to be 88 degrees and sunny, Tuesday is to be 79 degrees and sunny, Wednesday is to be 84 degrees and sunny, and Thursday is to be 88 degrees and sunny.

That's the week! Three partly cloudys and four Sunnys.

Thursday and Cookies for the Independence First Christian Church

I slept well last night and was up at 5:00AM, made my bed, dressed and got myself ready for the day! I took my kitchen trash out to the garage and put it in a larger trash bag. It's 5:59AM now.  

I have made my Chai Latte and am eating that and a breakfast bar for my breakfast. I haven't checked out "the  weather on the 8's" or the cats yet. I will check that out when I finish my light breakfast.

About 8:30AM I will leave for Independence to deliver the cookies to the First Christian Church in Independence. I need to be there at 9:30 AM or thereabouts. The maintenance man should be there then and he will pick them up from my car and take them into the church and put them in the frig there. I bought them last week at the market across the street from the church.

More Later. ..

I have fed four cats this morning... Blondie and three other cats including Grey and several black kittens.

More Even Later.... 

I am not interested in Firefox. I want to keep things simple! I have no working printer. I have three printers and none of them work. I will need to call Cox and have them out to get one of them working. They probably need ink cartridges and I do not know how to access the ink cartridges.

More Even Later... I called Beau.. who set up my present printer for me. He won't be in Caney today but he said he would try to get over here sometime soon and try to get that newest printer working. I think it needs a new print cartridge. But I can't figure out how to access the print cartridges on any of the three printers I have.

More Later... The First Christian Church in Independence will not need cookies again until October 10th at 9:30AM. I will leave that information on the blog even though I put it in my journal I keep in my purse.

More Even Later..

Wednesday and Game Day at the Coffeyville Senior Center

I slept well last night and was up at 5:00AM, made my bed, dressed and got myself ready for the day. I am having my Chai Latte and breakfast bar now in the den. It's 5:41 AM,

I will go over to Coffeyville when it gets light and have my hair done at 9:00AM and then later, I will go to the senior center and we will have game day. There are usually four of us..sometimes five. I will need to get a treat of some kind for the light dessert afterwards. There are usually five of us. Marilyn, Darlene, Karan, Janet, and me. 

Marilyn was not there. She is in a lot of pain in her back.

Now I will go check out the weather on the TV.

More later.. I caught "the weather on the 8's" on TV and here it is. Today is to be 81 degrees and partly cloudy, Thursday is to be 81 degrees and sunny, Friday is to be 81 degrees and mostly cloudy, Saturday is to be 83 degrees and mostly cloudy. Sunday is to be 83 degrees and  mostly sunny, Monday is to be 85 degrees and sunny, and Tuesday is to be 79 degrees and sunny. That's the week! Lots of partly cloudy, sunny, and mostly cloudy. No rain in the forecast this next week.

More Later.. Now I will check on the cats...

There were five cats out there and I fed them. After that I read in my book and then I went over to Coffeyville to go to the senior center. I went by Wal Mart and bought a treat for the card game at the senior center. I  finished the book and when I get home I will take it by the Caney library and drop it in the book drop.

I contacted Cox and moved my e-mail to yahoo.com. I can access it through the cox.com icon on my desktop.. It has been a busy day. Now I need to go to Dollar General and  buy some more cat food...both wet and dry.It's 5:27 PM now. The cats are probably out there...hungry again.

More Even Later...

 

Tuesday and a Good Night's Sleep

I slept well last night and was up at 6:30AM. I made my bed, dressed and got myself ready for the day. I made up my face and began using the computer with "Margie's Musings". It is 7:16AM now. I haven't checked on the weather or the cats. 

Later, I will check out the Copan Restaurant for lunch. Right now I will fix my Chai Latte and a breakfast bar. I will get back to my last book and try to finish it today and put it in the library drop box and get three  more books later this week. I try to keep one going all the time.

More Later...

I finally opened the front door to find five cats waiting for their breakfast. I fed all five and they are still eating some. When they finish I will bring the dishes in and go back to my last book.

More Later... 

I did catch the weather on the 8's" and here it is.

Today is to be 76 degrees and cloudy.and tomorrow is to be  81 degrees and sunny,. Thursday is to be 81 degrees and mostly sunny,  Friday is to be 77 degrees and  showers. Saturday is to be 75 degrees and cloudy, Sunday is to be 79 degrees and partly cloudy, and Monday is to be 81 degrees and mostly sunny. That's the week! At least one day of rain and that is Friday.

More Even Later.. 

I imagine the cats are finished with their food now. I will go check.

The pastor at the First Christian Church in Independence called me a little bit ago to ask me if it would be just as good a day for me to come deliver their cookies on Thursdays instead of Tuesdays. Their maintenance man is always there on Thursdays and that would work better for them. It's not  a problem for me..either. It works for me too.

So more... either day

I went to Copan Restaurant for lunch. It was my usual bowl of soup and piece of German Chocolate pie. Always very good!

The cats kept me busy all day. They were evidently very hungry. We went through a lot of food.

I read and watched TV in the afternoon. I took my bath at 7:00PM and went to bed shortly after that.

 

Monday and a Chilly Day

 I was up at 2:00AM to a cool apartment. I watched the weather channel for awhile until "the weather on the 8's" came on and I saved that. I haven't checked for cats yet but I have had my  breakfast bar and my Chai Latte It's only 3:26 now so I have awhile to wait for them.

Here's the weather forecast for the week. Today is to be 70 degrees and AM showers, Tomorrow is to be 77 degrees and cloudy, Wednesday is to be 82 degrees and mostly sunny. Thursday is to be 79 degrees and partly cloudy, Friday is to be 76 degrees and showers, Saturday is to be 76 degree and showers, and Sunday is to be 80 degrees and partly cloudy. That's the week! two days of rain...Monday (today) and Friday...otherwise cloudy.  partly cloudy and mostly sunny.

More Later....

I checked for cats and they are not out there. It has been raining so they have sought shelter somewhere...maybe across the street...or under someone's house.

Sunday and a Coffeecake for Church Breakfast.

I slept well last night and was up about 5:00AM, made my bed, dressed and got myself ready for the day. I caught "the weather on the "8's" and had my Chai Latte and breakfast bar. I haven't checked on the cats yet.  It's only 6:24AM.

Saturday and a Good Night's Sleep

I will make my coffeecake this morning and have it ready for tomorrow's breakfast at church. It's 1:35AM now. I am wide awake though. I made my bed and dressed and got myself ready for the day.

I had a good visit yesterday with Gay and six of her friends. I had met them before in the past...one time several years ago. Everyone had a good dinner and a good visit. We all got her cards and one person had made her a cute apron. When I got home Gay called me. She had left her cards and the apron in a sack in my car. I found a box in the garage and wrapped the apron and cards in it and went to the post office and sent it to her. The postmistress said she would probably get it on Tuesday.

Three cats were out front and hungry. So I took them out some dry as well as some wet cat food and when they finished I brought their bowls in and washed them. 

I caught "the weather on the 8's" too. Today is to be 98 degrees and partly cloudy, Sunday is to be  90 degrees and AM thunderstorms. Monday is to be 75 degrees and partly cloudy Tuesday is to be 77 degrees and partly cloudy and Wednesday is to be 79 degrees and AM showers. That's most of the week. A couple of days of rain...which we badly need.

Friday and a Trip to Chanute.

I will be leaving for Chanute in a couple of hours when it becomes light out. I slept well last night but was up early as usual. It's 6:01AM now and I have made my bed, dressed and got myself ready for the day. I am going to celebrate Gay's 85th birthday with her family and friends. We will meet at Opie's there in Chanute. That's a nice restaurant. She will have nice group to celebrate with. 

I think we got some rain last night. I heard it on the cement of the driveway. 

I will catch highway 169 just west of Independence and take it all the way to Chanute. I have a map and I have tracked that highway with it.

More later...

Thursday and a Good Day

I was up at 4:14 AM this morning, made my bed, dressed and got myself ready for the day.  I turned on the TV to catch "the weather on the 8's". I also checked on the cats. There were four out there this morning so I took out four bowls of food. They are eating now. I will need to buy some more wet cat food after Dollar General opens at 8:00AM. They really go thru the cat food. I also need some powered sugar. I am out of that too. 

I have been watching TV and will get back to my second book later today.

I caught "the weather on the 8's" at 6:50AM. Here it is: Today is to be 97 degrees and AM thunderstorms. Tomorrow is to be 98 degrees and partly cloudy. Sunday is to be 90 degrees and PM thunderstorms. Monday is to be 75 degrees and  partly cloudy. Tuesday is to be 77 degrees and partly cloudy, Wednesday is to be 79 degrees and AM Showers. That's the week! We are going to get a couple of days of rain this week. Luckily Stephen's grandson got my yard mowed yesterday afternoon. That may be the last mowing. Sunday, Thursday and Wednesday are the days rain is forecast. The rest are forecast partly cloudy.

Wednesday and Bunco at the Senior Center in Coffeyville

I slept well last night and was up at 4:45AM, dressed and made my bed and got myself ready for the day.

I will go over to Coffeyville and get my hair colored and cut at 9:00AM, maybe go to the library to read and later at 1:00PM go to the senior center for Bunco. I will need to get a treat before I leave town. I will also need to stop by the bank and get some cash for the week and write a check for the mowing this afternoon. Benton will be mowing after he gets home from school.

Stephen's son, John, stopped by last evening and picked up the coffeecake for him. I checked later and sure enough, he did get it.

I caught "the weather on the 8's" at 5:51AM and here it is.

Today will be 91 degrees and sunny, Tomorrow is to be 96 degrees and partly cloudy and Friday will be 98 degrees and partly cloudy. Saturday is to be 96 degrees and partly cloudy. Sunday is to be 88 degrees and AM showers and Monday is to be 76 degrees and  AM showers  and Tuesday is to be 78 degrees and partly cloudy. That's the week! Two days of showers and one day of sunny and four days of partly cloudy. At least we will get some rain this week.   That's wonderful!

More Later... 

I noticed I had missed a call from Gay O'rourke yesterday so I called her back. We talked awhile and she had wanted me to come to Chanute for her 86th birthday on this Friday. I may do that. It has been a long while since I made that trip. She wants to meet at 10:30AM at Opie's..a nice restaurant there. It has been a long time since I have done that. I may do that since it has been a year since I have been to Chanute and seen Gay.

Tuesday and Another Good Night's Sleep

 I slept well last night and was up at 5:30AM, made my bed and dressed and got myself ready for the day. It's 6:18AM now.

I will go to Copan today for lunch. It has been a few days since I have done that. I have been going to Eggbert's for breakfast instead.

I am going to Coffeyville tomorrow to the senior center for Bunco. I will stop at the cell phone store there and see if they have any stylus' to fit my phone. I don't like using my finger to text. I like using a stylus's instead. I have lost the last one I had. Yesterday evening I went to Independence's Wal Mart looking for one but neither that store or the two phone stores across the street from Walmart had stylus' to fit my phone. I will try Coffeyville's tomorrow.

More Later... 

I found the last stylus I had in my car last night. I will try to keep it safe from now on. And I will still keep looking for more.

More Even Later... Now I will go back to the book I have been reading.

I read for awhile and then saw two cats waiting for their breakfast..Grey and Whitey. I took both dry and wet cat food out to them.

They are still eating. 

I also saw "the weather on the 8's" and here it is. Today is to be 90 degrees and partly cloudy, Wednesday will be 91 degrees and mostly sunny, Thursday is to be 97 degrees and partly cloudy, Friday is to be 97 degrees and partly cloudy, Saturday is to be 94 degrees and partly cloudy and Sunday is to be 86 degrees and AM showers with lightening. and Monday is to be 82 degrees and AM showers.

I fed four cats and they are still out front eating..There were just four  of them.  Grey, Blondie, Blackie and  Whitey.  I will need to go to Dollar General later after they open and buy both wet cat food and dry cat food. I am out of both as well as powdered sugar for the Coffee cake topping. 

I saved the coffee cake for  my landlord, Stephen .

More Later. I will go check on the cats now. There were four out there and I fed them again. Then I went to the Dollar General store and bought some more wet cat food and some more dry cat food That should hold them another week...hopefully

I have read some this afternoon but earlier this morning I went to Eggbert's and had breakfast. It was, as always, very good. I had an omelet and toast.... my usual.

 

Back From the Reunion Campgrounds

I got home late last evening from the campgrounds. I put away my luggage and took my bath and went to bed. I was very tired.

But it was a good experience.  There were several I knew there and we had some good meals too. Donna met me there and told me what she wanted with me. I don't want to post it here though.

I have baked the coffeecake for the Church's early breakfast this morning. It is cooling now.

I will check on the cats soon. I am sure they are hungry. They were very hungry last evening after no food for a full day.

I have had my Chai Latte this morning and a breakfast bar. 

More Later.. I will go check on the cats now!

They were not out there. It's too early I guess, It's Sunday at 2:50AM.

I also missed "the weather on the 8's".

Moe Later... 

I finally found "the weather on the 8's" Today is to be 91 degrees and sunny, Tomorrow is to be 89 degrees and mostly sunny Tuesday is to be  89 degrees and mostly sunny and  Wednesday is to be 91 degrees and partly cloudy, Thursday is to be 94 degrees and partly cloudy, Friday is to be 93 degrees and isolated thunderstorms and Saturday is to be 82 degrees and scattered thunderstorms.

Friday and a Trip to the Reunion Camp Grounds

I have been up a couple of hours putting my luggage together. Karan and Leslie and I are going to the church's camp grounds for an overnight stay. I will leave Caney at noon today and go to Karan's to meet Leslie. I think we will take Leslie's car. I will put mine in Karan's third garage for the weekend. I packed yesterday and did the last minute stuff this morning,

I dressed and made up my face this morning. I will put my luggage in the back seat of my car until we get to Karan's when we will put all our luggage together in one vehicle. We will have lunch when we get to the Joplin area. Leslie told me not to eat anything before then. 

Donna Munsinger called me last night and wants to meet with me when we get to the camp grounds. I have no idea what that's all about. I guess I will eventually learn by afternoon today.  

More Later. I'd better get my car packed. It's only 5:53AM so I have plenty of time. The cats will be plenty hungry by the time we get back home Saturday.

More Later...

I got everything of my luggage and pillow in the back seat of my car.

It's only 6:16AM now so I have plenty of time. I will check on the cats now.

More Even Later....

There were 4 hungry cats out there waiting for their breakfast...Whitey, Blondie, Grey  and  Blackie. I took them all out some food. Now I am out of wet cat food. I threw away the empty box. Maybe I can get some more at Dollar General at 8:00AM.

More Even Later...It' 6:44AM now.

I got back in the living room just in time to catch "the weather on the 8s" and here it is:

Thursday and Another Warm Day

It's 5:34AM and I have dressed and made my bed and got myself ready for the day. Soon I will go check out the weather and the cats. They are going to be very hungry...they always are! I fed them several times yesterday.

This morning I will go to Eggbert's and eat breakfast. I always like an Omelet there. Then I will go up to Independence and buy cookies for the First Christian Church at the grocery store across the street from the church. That's the job of the day.  

Tomorrow I will go with Leslie and Karan to the weekend retreat at our church campgrounds just south of Joplin.

Tonight I will pack and go over to Karan's in the morning and put my car in her garage if we take her car and put my suitcase in the car we take to the campgrounds. I don't know whether we will take Karan's or Leslie's car. I guess I will find out when Leslie comes if she comes here to pick me up. If she does that I will leave my car here in my own garage.

More Later... It's 5:58AM now.

I found "the weather on the 8's again. I was not too late for it this time.

Today is to be 90 degrees  and partly cloudy, Tomorrow is to be 89 degrees and partly cloudy, Saturday is to be 90 degrees and partly cloudy, Sunday is to be 92 degrees and mostly sunny, Monday is to be 92 degrees and mostly sunny, Tuesday is to be 91 degrees and partly cloudy and Wednesday is to be isolated thunderstorms.

That's the week We may get one day of thunderstorms if we are lucky!

More Later... 

I just talked to Leslie and the plan was as I said, I am to go over to Karan's at noon and put my car in her garage. It's just like I had on my calendar. I wasn't sure after talking to Karan.

I am going to look for a new purse today The one I have used for years is coming apart so I will need to shop for a new one.

More Even Later.. I had four cats again to feed just as I thought.

A Trip to Coffeyville Today for my hair appointment with Toni

I was up early as usual, made my bed and dressed and got myself ready for the day. I will go get my hair done with Toni and need to be there at 10:30AM. Her daughter has sports this morning and Toni won't be ready for me until 10:30AM instead of my usual 9:00AM. I will take the Coffeyville library book back to the Coffeyville library when I get there to kill some time. And I will go by their Sonic and get my usual Cherry Limeade slush.

It's only 4:03AM now. I don't imagine the cats are out there yet. It's way too early.

More Later... 

I hope Leslie will send me Sage's current home address. I did finally find it on the Christmas card address list.

The last address I have is:  Sage Foust 4020 Shadow Circle NE. Olympia, WA 98506. I want to send her a birthday card and one for John Brooks too. I think she told me his birthday is Saturday,

Tuesday and a Possible Trip to Tulsa

I was up early as usual and made my bed and dressed and got myself ready for the day. It's 5:23AM now and I have been up awhile.

Leslie may be home now from her trip to Washington D.C . She was supposed to come in last evening. She had been gone a few days to a peace colloquy. I had dropped by their house to check to see if she had come in last evening. John had thought she would be home last evening. I imagine she was exhausted from her flight.

I think we are supposed to go to Tulsa today to have a small cancer taken off her nose. I am supposed to go by the hearing aide man's office and have him check over my hearing aide and my hearing itself. I have taken my two meds and will go check out "the weather on the 8's" on TV now. I imagine some cats are out front by the front door waiting for their breakfast. Usually there are at least three or four there waiting not so patiently. That's what I saw Four or five cats waiting or their breakfast. I fed them all and they ate until it was all gone and still they were hungry.

I caught "the weather on the 8's" early and here it is.

Today is to be 88 degrees and sunny,  tomorrow is to be 91 degrees and sunny, Thursday is to be 88 degrees and partly cloudy, Friday is to be 90 degrees and partly cloudy.Saturday is to be 92 degrees and mostly sunny, Sunday is to be 94 degrees and mostly sunny, and Monday is to be 91 degrees and partly cloudy.

More Later... 

More Later... Leslie didn't do anything about the cancer on her nose but she did pick me up at 9:30AM and drive me to the hearing Aide location in Tulsa and He tested me and got my hearing aide working much better. Then we went to Owasso and had lunch at Olive Garden. It was delicious!

I got home at a reasonable time.

More Even Later....

Monday and Up Early Again

I was up early again and made my bed and dressed and got myself ready for the day. A little later, I will go to Eggbert's and have breakfast. That will be after I feed the cats. I assume they will be out front in a little while. I will also go to Dollar General and get more breakfast bars for the week. I may buy more ice cream too. I think that's all I need. I may need more wet cat food too. I will check before I go.

No, I still have seven cans of wet cat food so I won't need that yet. 

I see it's 4:47AM now. That's plenty early and I have had my breakfast bar and Chai Latte.

More Later... 

There were four cats out there and I took food out to all of them. They are eating now.There is Whitey, Grey, Blondie and Blackie.

So More Later...I will get back to this after that.

I finished dressing and put my contact in and got my bed made and everything ready for the day. It's 5:22AM now. I checked for cats but they were not out there yet. I will check again soon. I want to leave for church at 8:30AM or so. That will get me there by 9:15 AM and there is plenty of time for the worship service at 11:00AM. Leslie won't be there and neither will Karan. Her kids came again this weekend so the congregation will be small again. They usually take her back to Kansas City with them so they can.. the three of them...or sometimes the grandson will go too to visit. Ronnie and Sheri usually come at least once a month and do that. Sometimes Cameron comes too. He's the grandchild.

More Later.. 

I was wrong...Karan did come. Her kids didn't come after all.

John ran the projector since Leslie had recorded a worship service.

She was in  Washington DC. She will be back this evening.

After church some of us went to El Publito in Coffeyville for lunch.
