It is 8:15 and Cowboy is still in bed. It started raining yesterday and continues to rain. We need it badly and are grateful. Should be some cooler air behind this when it is over.
I went shopping for a patio table on Wednesday and found a steal (50% off) at Lowe's. End of season clearance. Didn't buy it because still wanted to look some other places. That took care of my day out. Will probably go back to Lowe's later. They have 5.
Cowboy has kept asking me about 3 or 4 times a day when he goes to the dentist and yesterday finally was the day. He had a cavity and we got it filled. He does fine with haircuts, dentists and such at this point.
I had been thinking about the patio set so with Cowboy in tow we went back to Lowe's. Glad we did, they had marked the stuff down from 50% off to 75% off and they were being bought out from under us as we looked at it. Table and 6 chairs for $250. How could I not? I had called and been told that I could pay for it and pick it up anytime. Well, turns out that since it was clearance I couldn't do that. I called a neighbor with a truck and he very kindly agreed to help me get it home.
I can't say enough about how kind everyone is. I feel the care all around us. It is hard to ask for so much help. We are pretty independent folks but I have just had to learn. When I think about it, it is true that I would offer a hand to someone who asked me. It is because we are truly a community.
There is a new lady in our neighborhood that plays piano. She is coming over this afternoon and we are going to see whether we can work together.
No progress yet on the picture wall. I am looking at a bunch of empty frames still. It is going to take some time and I have to get my motor running and get to it.
Cowboy will be up soon and I am going to need to get his breakfast ready. Right now I am just enjoying the quiet.
