A QUOTE

The greatest single distinguishing feature of the omnipotence of God is that our imagination gets lost when thinking about it. - Blaise Pascal - Courtesy, politeness and smiles are all contagious. Be a carrier. - From Reminisce Magazine -

Heaven comes down to touch us when we find ourselves safe in the heart of another. - From Thank You For Being a Friend - Today has been cloudy all day with a high temperature of 26 degrees. I had lunch with Charley. Brianna was our waitress today. I went to the post office and then by Sandy's CPA Office to leave my tax return. As I came out from Taco Bob's after eating lunch light snow had began to fall. The snow got heavier and by the time it had stopped late this evening we have two or three inches of the pretty white stuff on the ground again. There may be more tomorrow. I took a nap this afternoon with a cat or two or three. Thanks for reading and thanks for writing.

The cats are fine. Emmy, Friendly, Leo and Rascal are in the den with me. Emmy just got on the desk and told me she wanted out so I opened the door and let her out. Friendly and Rascal went with her. I don't think they will stay out long due to the snow and bitterly cold temperature. I have seen all the kitties this evening.

Have a nice Saturday,

Everett.

Today has been mostly cloudy with a high temperature of 34 degrees and wind from the north direction at 16 to 18 miles per hour which made it feel much colder. I had lunch with Charley. Susan was our waitress today. I went to the post office. I have been home the rest of the day taking a nap this afternoon with Lucy. Tomorrow is supposed to be another cold day, Brr. I gave the cats their treats at around 5:00 p.m. Thanks for reading and thanks for writing. The Good Things are getting a little shorter as I get older.

The cats are fine. Emmy and Rascal are on the sofa. Leo is in the recliner chair. I have seen all of my babies this evening.

Have a nice Friday,

NOTES

We have had snow most of the day. It finally stopped after 3:00 p.m. this afternoon. High temperature today was 24 degrees. I would estimate that we have at least 3 inches of snow on the ground. I stayed inside all day. Tomorrow will be the anniversary of my dear wife's passing seven years ago. The past seven years have been the loneliest of my lifetime. If you have never lost a spouse to death you do not know how lonely it can be. Many of you reading this have lost a spouse to death and you know how it feels but the rest of you don't know. You might think you do but you don't know. I wonder a lot why the Lord took my wife and left me here so long and others I am sure have wondered the same thing. My cats have been such a comfort to me and they all love me dearly and I love them.

The cats are fine. Emmy and Leo are here in the den with me at present. They have stayed inside today because of the snow. Some venture out for a little while but don't stay out long. I have seen all of them this evening.

Have a nice Tuesday,

Everett.

NOTES

My daughter, Treva, came Friday and went home today. Yesterday was her birthday so I took her to an Italian restaurant last night, Giacomo's. This morning the weather was cloudy and the news said that snow had started in the northern part of our state. Treva needed to get home so she left around 8:15 a.m. I didn't attend church because she was going to call me when she stopped for anything to tell me how things were going. She did call about the time that I would have been in church. She was in Bartlesville and had run into snow but the roads were still fine. I lay down around 11:00 a.m. and went to sleep. When I got up around 2:00 snow had covered everything here in McAlester. Treva called a little after 2:00 to tell me she had made it home. She ran out of the snow after she got into Kansas. The rest of the day I have been doing what I usually do, work puzzles, read and watch a little television. The snow has stopped for now but I think it is supposed to snow more later tonight and tomorrow. Thanks for reading my notes and writing to me.

The cats are fine. They are all accounted for and are staying in due to the snow.

Have a nice Monday,

Everett.
