A Blank Slate.

 A Blank Slate.

 

The insulation is now installed in the attic. We will see what effect it has on the heating and cooling of this house. The young man who talked to us this morning about the insulation that they sucked OUT of Patty’s house said it was full of insect and rodent excreta, so he thought that having it removed and the interior of the attic vacuumed out might help her breathing eventually. Anyway, we are both happy to have this little task finished.

 

Stopped by United earlier and they had flower bulbs and other pretty things on sale. OF COURSE, the old woman had to have some of them. Love flowers, colors, pretty things, and outside with anything that is natural. Guess that is one of the reasons that this bunch of chicks were some of nearly every color. The blue ones are interesting and the red ones are so friendly it is amazing. The Wellborns are definitely different, but they are curious about anything that is happening around them. The Marans are my safety net. The hawks think that they are crows and stay away. Wish that worked with the dingy doves. Oh, and another reason for ordering groceries to be picked up was the fact that those flower bulbs were right in the front door! Couldn’t miss them!

 

Well, the Route 66 Group met this afternoon and nearly caused a riot. We have laughed since it is all over about how six old women were about ready to nail this man’s hide to a wall. He shouted at one of our group for being so noisy. Not just quietly come over and ask us to tone it down a bit, but shouted about her big mouth and being so loud when he was trying to enjoy a meal with his friends. Two different men around us and one of our men were about to get up and clean his plow for him. Two of our women kept Roger from getting up, and then the waitresses got between him and our tables. We could just see the headlines in the Clay County Leader and in the Times Record News: Several Elderly Women Attack Abusive Male. No bail bonds required. Clay County always is good for some general all-around gossip about folks, but it made me wonder if the TRN would have us pegged as bullies since we outnumbered this guy. Oh well. Never a dull moment.

 

Lowry’s wife Diane said that it seemed my blog always skipped around about different subjects. Why shucks. My life is never on a straight line or even perpendicular to anything. That’s half the fun of being ADHD! If life were always set to a pattern, what would we look forward to each day?

 

It has been sprinkling today throughout the city and flat out raining in parts. We really need more of the flat-out raining part of this weather. Lake Wichita is basically a yucky mud puddle. So sad. It could be so much more if we could just dig out all that silt and use it somewhere to fill in a canyon or two. Oh well. We can just thank God for the cooler weather and all the moisture He will send us.

 

Let us be grateful for the times we are able to share with friends and family. The love we have for each other makes our world a better place.

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
