NOTES

Today has been mostly sunny with a high temperature of 48 degrees. I had lunch with Charley and Bill. Mellisa was our waitress today. I went to the post office. I stopped at a Dollar General Store for a few items. I took a nap with two or three cats. I gave the cats their treats at around 6:00 p.m. My daughter, Treva, is coming to visit tomorrow for a couple of days so I am not sure when Good Things will be back. Thanks for you notes and thanks for reading the Good Things.

The cats are fine. Tony is on a desk near me and the others are elsewhere. I have seen all of them this evening.

Have a nice Friday,

Everett.

Mellisa was our waitress today. I went to the post office and then to Walgreens to pick up prescriptions. I took a nap without a cat. I don't know how I managed it. I gave the cats their treats around 6:00 p.m. Thanks for everything, praying, reading and writing.

The cats are fine. Rascal is in our chair. Smokey was here a few minutes ago. I have seen all of them this evening.

Have a nice Thursday,

NOTES

Around 4:00 a.m. this morning we had a thunderstorm with rain. The rain began to freeze. We also had some sleet and light snow. High temperature today was 28 degrees. Ice covered most everything but the streets were still all right for driving. I don't have a garage since the den I am sitting in now used to be a garage. There was ice all over my van so I stayed in all day. I didn't want to fall and break a hip or something else. It is supposed to be warmer tomorrow so maybe I will be able to get out for lunch and check my mail at the post office. Thanks for reading and thanks for writing.

The cats are fine. They like to go out at times even in icy weather. I have seen all of them.

Have a nice Tuesday,

Everett.

The cats are fine. Rascal just went out the front door. Emmy just came in and got on the desk and meowed. She is telling me something and I will have to find out what she wants when I finish the Good Things. Tony also just went out the front door. I have seen all of the kitties this evening.

Have a Wonderful Sunday,
