Friday, November 1

Wow, it is November.  Doesn't feel like it.  Still too warm but has been a little cooler and drier.  We had a terrible flood a few miles south of us the night before Halloween.  So sad.

Got a lot done on Wednesday.  Laundry, ironing, cleaning the bathrooms and kitchen.  so much fun.

I went to see Cowboy yesterday.  The rain quit about 9AM so headed North.  The roads were dry and the skies were blue.  Good drive.  Took Cowboy out for a walk around the outside area.  We went around 3 times !  Then sat for a while outside.  This was followed by lunch.  Fried chicken, brown beans, corn on the cob.  I need to have a talk with their nutritionist.  Sure doesn't seem like the best diet.  But then, if you are 85 and have dementia, maybe this is one of those small pleasures.

Cowboy was in a good frame of mind.  He enjoyed walking around and sitting outside and also enjoyed his lunch.

This morning I went to Home Depot and bought lightbulbs, filters, and some fluorescent bulbs.  Have a handyman coming this evening to change out summer bulb in bathroom, replace a burned out bulb in the laundry room, fix a broken panel in the garage, change the batteries in the smoke detectors and the filters in the HVAC.  Learned my water softener is not working so need to buy a new one.  DRAT !  Am going to need a new microwave any day now as well.  It is always something.  What we need is a simpler time when we didn't need or use these things.

I went through my music and put together a binder for the Christmas gigs for the dulcimer group, a binder for the violin and piano gigs am doing and tidied up the band music.  Will have to put together a binder for the Nov 15 gig at the VA home and one for the Christmas gigs soon.  Three different sets of music for three different groups.
