I have been taking it easy this week.  I have not done very much except enjoyed not having to do anything.  Pat is in Panama City visiting her sister.  I did have supper with my aunt last Thursday.  I enjoyed the meal and conversation.  She told me that she wanted to cook for me while Pat was gone. 

On Friday I had supper with my brother and his wife.  After supper my brother and I watched the 7th game of the world series.  We both enjoyed the game and visiting during the game.

I have moved leaves around the yard a couple of times in the last week.  I chopped them up with the lawn mower.

I am still waiting for the man to come and prepare the site for my new shop.  He told me last week that he planned to come this week and complete the work.  He has not shown up yet.

I am going to add a drive way to my property.  The driveway will be on the west side of the property.  I do not plan to put gravel on it at the present time.  This will allow me to have access to my new shop without having to go across my front yard.  The supervisor has delivered a pipe, but has not installed it yet.

I have been going to the coffee shop.  Slowly I am making new friends and catching up with people I knew when I lived here about 45 years ago.

I try to visit mother at least every other day.  She is about the same.  Last week she did go for a car ride for over an hour with my brother.  He said that they both enjoyed the ride.  Mother said that she enjoyed going for the ride and seeing the town.

I think that my dog has gone.  I have not seen her since last Friday night.  Several days she was here in the late evening and gone the next morning.  I hope that she has found a good home or gone to her home.  I would like to have an outside dog, but the outside dog must get along with Oscar.  The dog that was here for a while and Oscar did not every accept each other.
