I went to see Cowboy today. Left early and it was an uneventful drive, although I never cease to be amazed at some people's driving habits and the risks they take.
He was in a good humor and he liked the hat I brought him. It is a keeper !
Cowboy looked like he had not had a shave in about four days. They got two new men in this week and one fellow passed away. I suspect they have been very busy, even overwhelmed. There is a new fellow name "Billy" who is a constant challenge for them. He just won't settle down or follow any kind of instruction. He moves around the furniture, pesters everyone, etc. So hard to watch.
The scenery on the drive is changing. The grass is dry and yellow. Most of the flowers that are left are yellow and white. The hay is being cut. The hay fields are golden, the corn fields are dark green. It is like a kaleidescope in slow motion.
This week the trees got trimmed, the deposit to the sprinkler company got sent, the china got fixed and I spent quite a bit of time cleaning up the yard. I had a couple promise to come take up the carpet. Well they promised to come on Thursday, again on Friday and then again today. Claim they were stood up by a couple of guys that were going to help them. So much for Craigs list and depending on people to do what they say they are going to do. The fence got put up and the addition of slats to the pergola means it is now shadier so we are making progress. Flooring job starts Monday and the countertop goes in on the 28th.
I was driving on a main thoroughfare on Thursday. It is four lanes wide plus a lane coming in off the interstate that turns into a right turn only lane. I am changing lanes from the second lane to the third lane across and managed to collide with another car. Not sure if he came off the interstate and changed lanes at the same time as I did or what but it was a very minor fender bender. I was fine and he was fine and we exchanged insurance information and went on our way. No police were called. I suspect it is going to end up costing me my deductible of $1000. I have two small scratches and a dent on the passenger side door and the wheel is scraped. sigh......the hard part is I have not had an accident in 35 years except for backing into a post a few years ago.
My daughter was home today from California. She went and picked up her oldest grandaughter who is 11 and a little friend of hers and they got a manicure, went for pizza and then came back here and went swimming. Theyhave had a really good time. They are spending the night here and are upstairs watching TV. Other than coming down for popcorn and soda they have been very quiet up there, watching TV.
