A QUOTE

I still find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see. The longer I live, the more my mind dwells upon the beauty and the wonder of the world. - John Burroughs -

NOTES

Today has been a sunny day with a high temperature of 95 degrees. I had lunch with Charley, then went by the post office, then by Walgreens to leave a prescription and then to the Petsense store for canned cat food. By then I was hot and tired so I took a nap with Smokey and Tony. I sat with the cats for about 10 minutes around 6:00 p.m. Rascal is on a desk near me at present. I have seen all the others this evening. Thanks for everything, notes, prayers and reading the Good Things.

Have a Wonderful Sunday,

Everett.

NOTES

Today has been a hot sunny day with a high temperature of 94 degrees. I went to Walmart around 9:15 a.m. which was better than waiting until in the afternoon. I had lunch with Charley. I went to the post office. I took my nap with Tony. Smokey was with us for a little while. At around 6:00 p.m. I took treats and fresh water outside for the cats. I take fresh water out every evening. I sat with the cats for around 10 minutes. I guess I will continue with the Good Things while I feel up to it. Excuse any mistakes that I make. Thanks for your notes, prayers and reading the Good Things.

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

Have a nice Saturday,

Everett.

NOTES

Today has been another hot sunny day. High temperature was 94 but the heat index (the way it felt) was around 100 degrees. I had lunch with Charley. I went to the post office. I took a nap with Tony. I intended to go to Walmart around 3:00 but it was so hot that I decided to wait until in the morning when it will be a little cooler. I gave the cats their treats outside around 6:00 p.m. but I only stayed out with them for 5 or 10 minutes. Thanks for everything, notes, prayers and reading the Good Things.

The cats are fine, none are with me at present but I have seen all of them this evening.

Have a nice Friday,

Everett.

Have a nice Wednesday,
