Sunday, June 30

I bought a new bow on Wednesday and also went to the container store.  Not much else I need from anywhere.  Did have a nice lunch at Marie Callendars with a couple of my neighbors/friends.

Thursday I had the fellow that put in the gate on the patio out.  It was rusted something awful.  Turns out part of it wasn't painted properly before he installed it.  Got that taken care of.

My neighbor/pianist and I played at the church here in our community for the dementia day care group.  They really enjoyed themselves today.  Made us bath feel good.

My handyman came by in the PM and I got my HVAC filter changed out, the old drapery rod in the bedroom removed and the new one installed.  He also removed the rails around the stool in the master bath. It was really hard to keep it clean and this will solve that problem.  I don't need the rails.

I took a really good walk Friday morning and managed to mostly piddle the rest of the day away.  When I went to see Cowboy yesterday he asked me what I had been doing and I had a hard time remembering.  Maybe I should worry about myself !  No actually, the grocery store, the drugstore, Home Depot and breakfast at McDonald's can do number on your time.

I also bought some begonias Friday and got up yesterday morning early and took them to the home.  The zinnias all gave up the ghost.  I wanted to get them removed and the begonias in before it got too hot.  High yesterday was about 106.  Cowboy came out and held the trash bag for me and helped me place the new plants.    It was only 9AM but already very warm so we got that finished and went back inside and watched a John Wayne movie in the day room with some of the other fellows.

Pete (oh Pete, what a mess you are!)  walked his wheelchair over to us and parked right in front of the TV.  Cowboy was peeking around him to see the movie.  Pete just stared at him and pretty soon Cowboy says (in a very loud voice)  "What are you staring at??!  He was downright irritated.  Not good to get between Cowboy and a John Wayne movie.

I was invited to attend a rodeo by a neighbor.  It is a fund raiser and she had paid for 2 boxes.  She invited several people and we all had a really good time.  Fortunately, we were on the side where the sun went down behind us instead of in our faces.  We ate pizza, funnel cakes and drank lemonade.  Just a bunch of grandmas at the rodeo.  One of the bunking broncs literally fell into the rail right in front of us.  That was a little scary and there was a fair bit of dirt kicked up our way.  One of the downsides of front row seats.

It was late when we got home and I slept in this morning.  Am doing laundry but have to leave in a bit.  Am playing at a cocktail party in a couple of hours and have to go set up.
