NOTES

When I got up this morning around 6:30 a.m. it was raining. The rain got harder with thunder and slowed a little right after lunch but continued to rain until around 4:00 p.m. My rain gauge showed that I received 3 inches of rain at my house. More rain is to come, maybe tonight and tomorrow. High temperature today was 65 degrees. I had lunch with Charley and Bill. Brianna was our waitress today. I went to the post office. I then went to the newspaper office to pay my paper bill. As always, I visited with my good friend, Pat, at the newspaper office. I then went to the Petsense store for canned cat food. I always have a nice visit with my friend, Laura, at the Petsense store. I took a nap this afternoon. I am not sure if a cat was with me or not. I fed the cats their treats inside tonight since it was wet outside. My oldest daughter, Treva, flew to Hawaii yesterday to visit with my daughter, June and husband Keith for two weeks. She arrived there last evening safe and sound. Treva's cats and dog will really miss her but there is a nice lady that likes animals that will give them special attention while Treva is away. Thanks for everything, notes, prayers and reading the Good Things.

The cats are fine. Leo is on the sofa curled up asleep and Rascal is on a desk near me. I have seen all of them this evening.

Have a nice Tuesday,

Everett.
