NOTES
Today has been a sunny day with a high temperature of 93 degrees and a low of 63 degrees. I had lunch with Charley and Bill. I came by the post office for my mail. I took my nap this afternoon without a cat napping with me. I don't know how I managed to sleep without a cat but I did. I have felt better today. My allergies are better and my back has not given me much pain today. I worked in my office room for a little while this evening trying to catch up on my filing and my bills. I went outside at 6:35 p.m. and sat in the back yard with the cats for almost an hour reading and enjoying the things going on around me, animal, human or nature. Since the last Good Things I have heard from Alice and Michelle. You might ask, why did you start the Good Things again. Well, during this time I was usually working a puzzle or doing some other unproductive thing such as reading a paper. I decided if some people enjoyed the Good Things as much as they say they do then that would probably be what God would have me do with my time during this period. However, if anyone had rather not receive the Good Things, please let me know and I will drop you and I will certainly think no less of you. I will understand.
My cats are fine. I have seen all of them today. Tony has been in a couple of times this evening for food. He sleeps inside during the day. The last three days he has been sleeping on a little pillow on the couch in the living room. That is the way cats are. They will find them a good sleeping place and use it for a few days and then move on to another place. I don't have to tell you where Little Girl is. She is in the same place as she was last night at this time.
I will see you next time, In Christian Love, Everett.
