Saturday and a Reading Day

 I was up at 5:00AM  this morning, made my bed and dressed and got myself ready for the day.

When I opened the front door, Grey was waiting for breakfast so I gave him a bowl of wet and dry cat food. He ate his fill and left. No other cats have come yet so I brought the dish in the house. I don't want a dog to carry off the dish. That has happened several times.

The next time I checked, Blondie was out there waiting for his breakfast so I fixed him a bowl. He ate almost all of it and I brought it in too.

Finally "The weather on the 8's" came on and I took a photo of it and here it is:

Today is to be 64 degrees and partly cloudy., tomorrow is to be 63 degrees and mostly cloudy, Monday is to be 72 degrees and sunny, Tuesday is to be 77 degrees and partly cloudy, Wednesday is to be 71 degrees and partly cloudy, Thursday is to be 71 degrees and rain and thunderstorms, and Friday is to be 77 degrees and Thunderstorms and wind. That's the week! Two days of rain and that is Thursday and Friday. 

I am so glad I got the mowing and trimming done yesterday. I also got the housework done. It was a very productive day. Now I have a slower week to look forward to.

When I went back in the living room after posting on my blog, Blondie was waiting by the door for his breakfast. So I fixed his bowl with both wet and dry cat food and set it outside the door. He is eating now!

More Later. 

I called Sally's number two times this morning but she evidently was not home. I got her answering machine both times. I wanted to ask her to go down to Copan for lunch with me. I just went by myself. As usual...it was very good!

More Even Later.. 

I finished the first of the two books  I got at the Caney library this evening. I have church tomorrow and I will make my coffeecake tomorrow for the breakfast.

It's 8:04 PM now and I will  soon go to bed.

Friday and A Stop at Caney's Library

I woke up very early again at 4:20AM this morning and again couldn't get back to sleep. 

I finally got up and transferred some money from my savings account to my checking account so I would have plenty in the checking account to pay an upcoming bill. Scott Mills is going to put a new back up mirror frame in the rider's side of my car. After I hit the garage door frame with that mirror, the mirror was replaced fine but the frame it fit in was still dented. So Scott Mills is going to put a new mirror frame on my car when it comes in. That's the bill I want to pay. Luckily there was plenty of money in my savings account to accommodate paying that bill. I am trying to keep my car as nice as I can for as long as I can. It and my furniture is all I have.

I had my oil changed yesterday at Main Street Auto and Tire and that cost me $47.15. But the life of the oil was down to 30% according to the gauge on the dash and it needed to be changed. 

And I went over to Coffeyville yesterday to return a book I had checked out there on Wednesday at the Coffeyville library. Our library here at Caney was not open when I got my car back yesterday. They have strange and different hours. 

I also needed to go out to Walmart there and get some more coffee cake mix for Sunday's breakfasts at church and also some flavored water to drink here at home. I try never to drink Caney's water. It has some strange chemicals in it and is not considered drinkable. And  now I saw in the chronicle that Caney's grocery market is closing.

And I needed to go to the bank and get some cash for the week too. Unfortunately the ATM machine at the bank was down...again. So I went to the police and fire department building there on 11th street and used their ATM machine. It was either that one or the one way out on northeast street. The bank needs to get a new ATM machine. The one at the bank drive-through seldom works.

While I was there in Coffeyville, I filled up my car with gas at their Conoco station. I am no longer going out to South Coffeyville to get the cheaper gas. Their pumps no longer accept debit cards. In fact they won't work at all unless you push a button on a pole next to the pump. It's not worth dealing with any more.

I also stopped at the US Cellular store and had them check out my phone. It has been ringing sporadically at best. I don't know if they fixed it or not. Anyhow they tried.

I will try to get to the Caney library today to get a couple of new books to read. 

Here are their hours:

Monday, Wednesday, and Friday 12PM to 6:00PM

Tuesday 12 PM till 6:00 PM, 

Thursday 8:00AM till 2:00 PM

Saturday 8:00AM till 2:00 PM

Closed Sunday...

More Later...It's 7:14AM here now. 

I hope the grass will be dry today. I would like to at least get started on my mowing for the week. 

It's 6:49AM now and I just opened the door to see Grey waiting for his breakfast. So I fixed him a fresh breakfast and he ate and left. Soon Whitey came for breakfast too and I added some more fresh food. She/he is eating now. 

More Later..I also have the "weather on the 8's" and here it is:

Today is to be 64 degrees and partly cloudy, tomorrow is to be 63 degrees and mostly cloudy, Sunday is to be 65 degrees and mostly sunny, Monday is to be 70 degrees and sunny,  Tuesday is to be 76 degrees and partly cloudy, Wednesday is to be 71 degrees and mostly cloudy. Thursday is to be 72 degrees and scattered thunderstorms. That's the week...One day of rain and that's Thursday. Otherwise..cloudy.

The grass is still wet so I can't mow it unless it dries during the day. I will check on it later on.  

I checked the yard about an hour later and it was dry so I mowed the front and part of the west side....maybe half of it. Maybe I can finish the west side and do the back tomorrow if it doesn't rain. The back is smaller then either the front or the west side. The only day we are supposed to  get rain is Thursday. 

I did clean the apartment and mop the floors and vacuum. I will dust later...

I never did get up to the library. I had better go now if I am going to get something to read, It is 1:00PM now.

I checked out two books. That should hold me for awhile...at least a couple of days. 

More Even Later.. 

I also finished my mowing. I got the west side finished and the back and then I trimmed everything. It's done for another week!

I feel like I did a good thorough job too. I not only mowed the rest of the yard west side as well as the back and trimmed it all but I cleaned the apartment too. I both mopped and vacuumed. I even read a little between jobs. I got a lot done today. Maybe I will sleep better tonight. It's only 4:53 PM though so I have the entire evening ahead of me.

Thusday and Lunch at Copan

I went to bed at 9:00PM last night and woke up at 1:30AM and could not get back to sleep. I got up, made my bed, and dressed and got myself ready for the day. I got the book I checked out at the Coffeyville library yesterday and got up to read it. I finished it about 5:25AM.

I will take it back on Wednesday this week. I checked outdoors and there were no cats out there. 

While I was looking, Blondie walked up and wanted his breakfast so I took it out to him.

I did see the "weather on the 9's" though. Here it is for the week.

Today is to be 74 degrees and scattered thunderstorms and wind. Friday is to be 65 degrees and partly cloudy, Saturday is to be 6 degrees and cloudy, Sunday is to be 64 degrees and partly cloudy, Monday is to be 72 degrees and mostly sunny, Tuesday is to be 70 degrees and AM showers. and Wednesday is to be 71 degrees and mostly cloudy. That's the week.  Rain today and Tuesday.

More Later.. It's 5:32AM now.

I went to the Dollar General Store and bought cat food and breakfast bars. cat foo for the cats and the breakfast bars for me

While I was in Coffeyville yesterday, I washed my car. While I was in Dollar General, it began to rain.  So that was a wasted $5.00 for the car wash and a dollar each to dry it and vacuum it out. It's 8:54 AM now and I believe the Caney library is open now. I may go get another couple of books if it stops raining.

More Even Later... 

I mowed Friday and Saturday last week. Maybe I can mow again this Friday and Saturday.  I trimmed my hedge this morning before I went to Dollar General. I saw in the Chronicle  that our Caney Market is closing. Not enough business is what they said was the reason. I see that many Caney people are shopping at the various Wall Marts.

More Even Later.. 

I went out to Myrtle's Market this afternoon  and bought some bedding plants and got them planted. Some in the back yard flower garden and the others in that small one by the front door where I keep my little flags denoting the type of season.. I could use some more flowers but this is a start.  I bought a Mother's Day flag yesterday at Liebert's in Coffeyville. Of course my mother has been gone for years but I still think about her from time to time...especially when I decorate the graves at Memorial Day.

Wednesday and Bunco

 I slept pretty well last night and was up at 4:30AM, dressed made my bed and got myself ready for the day. There were no cats out there for breakfast until 6:00AM when Blondie showed up. I took him a bowl of both wet cat food and dry cat food. He is eating now.

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

Today is to be 87 degrees and sunny, Thursday is to be 80 degrees and thunderstorms,  Friday is to be 67 degrees and partly cloudy, Saturday is to be 59 degrees and PM showers, Sunday is to be 63 degrees and partly cloudy, Monday is to be 70 degrees and partly cloudy, and Tuesday is to be 7 degrees and partly cloudy...a couple of days of rain Thursday and Saturday. We can always use the rain!

Tuesday and Rain

 I slept well last night and was up at almost 5:00AM, dressed and got myself ready for the day. When I opened the front door. Blondie was out there waiting for his breakfast so I fixed him a bowl of wet and dry cat food and he ate and left. As soon as he was gone. Whitey came to finish what little he left. Whitey was still out there when I caught "the weather on the 8's" and here it is.

Monday and a Trip to the Library

I was up very early this morning I had my breakfast bar and a cup of Chai Latte. Then Whitey came for her breakfast and I took it out to her. I had to find her dish. I walked around the yard looking for it an then remembered I had put it in the frig last evening. So I got it out and took it out to her.

I also caught "the weather on the 8's" and here it is:Today is to be 81 degrees and cloudy, Tuesday is to be 81 degrees and AM thunderstorms,   Wednesday is to be 82 degrees and sunny, Thursday is to be 79 degrees and Scattered Thunderstorms, Friday is to be 63 degrees and cloudy, Saturday is to be 58 degrees and cloudy, and Sunday is to be 62 degrees and partly cloudy..that's the week. A couple of days of rain...Tuesday and Thursday. We can use the rain!

More Later... 

I went out and raked on the back yard and then mowed it again. The only cats that came for a meal today were Whitey and Blondie.

David called everyone about Bunco on Wednesday. I hope we have more than we had last time. Only four of us came last time two weeks ago. Usually we have twelve. Several had responsibilities to some of their family. 

I always look forward to it. It's good fellowship, Wednesday is also the day I get my hair done at 9:00AM.

Sunday and Dinner at Church

 I slept well again last night and was up at 6:00AM. I made my bed, dressed and got myself ready for the day. After a while Blondie came for his breakfast. I took it out to him and when Grey showed up, Blondie let him have his leftovers.

Then I had my two cups of Chai Latte and a breakfast bar. 

The weather on the 8's finally showed up too. Today is to be 80 degrees and sunny,  tomorrow is to be 83 degrees and cloudy, Tuesday is to be  82 degrees AM Thunderstorms, Wednesday is to be 81 degrees and sunny and Thursday is to be 74 degrees and scattered Thunderstorms. Friday is to be 65 degrees and cloudy, Saturday is to be 57 degrees and AM showers. That's the week! Four days of rain Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday and Saturday. That's plenty of rain! And we always need it!

More Later ...it's 7:07 AM now.

I went on to church in time to be there by 10:00AM and took my two pies. Leslie had done a wonderful job planning the service. It was a baby blessing and many of the relatives of the parents came for the service. We had a nearly full house.

After the service was over we had very nice dinner and everyone stayed for the dinner too. Mike and I did the dishes. I gave the rest of the pecan pie to John and took the peach pie home. There were  three pieces of it. 

Now I am going to look for something to read. I had finished my second book. It's 3:46PM now. After I got home from church, I went down to Lowe's in Bartlesville and bought two sale baskets of pansies. I watered them after I got them hung up on the hooks..one in the front and one in the back yard.
