NOTES

Today has been a cloudy day with a high temperature of 66 degrees. Last night around midnight we had heavy thunderstorms for a while. I received almost and inch and one half at my house. I had lunch with Charley. I went to the post office. At 1:00 p.m. I went to the Ford garage for a service job on my van. I took my nap later today. My daughter, Treva, made it back from Hawaii safe and sound today. June was so happy for Treva to visit her for two weeks. Treva was the first relative that June has had to visit her since she moved to Hawaii three years ago. Thanks for everything.

The cats are fine. None are with me at present but I have seen them all this evening. Just in case some of you have forgotten the names of my eight cats here are their names: Emmy, Friendly, Itty Bitty, Leo, Lucy, Rascal, Smokey and Tony.

Have a nice Tuesday,

Everett.

NOTES

Today has been a cloudy day with some rain about the middle of the day. I had lunch with Charley. Today was his birthday so the employees and waitresses at Taco Bobs sang Happy Birthday to him. I went to the post office and came home and took my afternoon nap. At around 3:00 p.m. I went to the clinic to pick up a prescription. I visited with Taylor (a former waitress at Bob's) who is a receptionist now at the clinic. I went by Walgreen's and left the prescription to be filled. I then went on to Walmart and did my weekly shopping. I sat out with the cats for a few minutes around 6:00 p.m. Thanks for everything, notes, prayers and reading the Good Things.

The cats are fine. None are with me now but they have been coming and going all evening.

Have a nice Thursday,

Everett.

17Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 18Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. 19In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. - 1 Timothy 6:17-19(New International Version).

NOTES

Today has been mostly cloudy with a high temperature of 75 degrees. I had lunch with Charley. Brianna was our waitress. I went to the post office and Walgreen's as I came home. I took a nap this afternoon. I think Tony was with me most of the time. I sat out with the cats for a few minutes after 6:00 p.m. As you know there were no Good Things the past two nights. Some nights I just don't get around to it any more and I felt a little bad last night. I may not do them tomorrow night because on Saturday night I watch the Lawrence Welk program and a Billy Graham Classic but I am sure I will be back soon. Thanks for reading and writing to me.

The cats are fine. None are with me at present but Rascal just went out. I have seen all of them this evening.

Have a nice Saturday.
