Waited all day Friday for the folks who are supposed to install the pergola. Got an email Friday morning that have been rescheduled for the 9th. Fourth time. Personnel and supply problems. If they don't keep their date this next time may ask for my money back.
On Saturday I went to see Cowboy. We went outside and discovered some of the mums are not doing well. I had a lot of "help". Maybe we didn't get the soil down around the roots good enough. May have to get a couple more. One of the residents was given a birthday party by his wife. They had a big table set up, ordered in fajitas and all the trimmings and a big cake. There were probably 12 or 15 relatives there for AC's party. It was really nice and quite a big deal. He is a really sweet fellow. He just turned 81. His wife is a regular participant at the home and comes almost every day for lunch. I really like her.
Cowboy enjoyed it and ate some of the Mexican food they brought and then turned around an hour later and ate a good bit of his regular lunch.
I decided that today would be a day for me. After I went early and got groceries I went to the mall and whiled away about 3 hours. This included a good long walk. I am trying again to cut back on my food and increase my activity. Maybe I can drop another 10 pounds. Didn't need a thing and mostly just browsed around. Did buy another pair of jammies. Will be getting cooler soon.
I have made a decision to reduce the number of commitments I make and try to spend more time just relaxing and taking walks, etc.
I have three gigs in October and one in November and the neighborhood Christmas party, then the dulcimer concert in January. After that I am going to take a break.
This week will be busy, practices, Dr. appts, meetings, etc. but the calendar looks much better after that.
