NOTES

Today has been a sunny day with a high temperature of 102 degrees. I went to Walmart this morning while it was a little cooler than in the afternoon. I had lunch with Charley. I took a nap this afternoon with Lucy. The cats are fine. Smokey is here in the den with me at present on a small filing cabinet. I have seen all the cats this evening. A partial copy of the Good Things went out a little while ago by mistake. These computers are really touchy.

Have a nice Saturday.

Today has been partly cloudy with a high temperature of 98 degrees. I had lunch at Taco Bob's by myself today as Charley had a luncheon at his church. I went to the post office. I took a nap with Lucy. At around 3:00 p.m. I went out again and got a haircut. That is about all that happened in my world today but it was too hot to do anything outside. The cats are fine and all are outside at present. Thanks for everything, notes, prayers and reading the Good Things.

Have a nice Thursday

National Election 2016

Are you as a devout Christian praying concerning the upcoming presidential election? The Body of Christ is more and more facing persecution as the forces of secularism and atheism gain power in our government. Pray much for who the candidates will be and for whom to vote. Your vote counts!

NOTES

Today has been another hot day with a high temperature of 96 degrees. I had my house made pleasant to live in for another week as Stephanie and Dillon went over my house again. I had lunch with Charley. I went by the Sewell Animal Hospital to say goodbye to Dianne (a longtime receptionist) who is moving to Germany with her husband who will work there. I went to the post office. At 2:00 p.m. I went to the Dental office just so the doctor could check on my lower teeth that he had worked on. He thought they were in good condition. I then took a late nap with Tony. The cats are fine. Rascal has been here a short time ago and I can see Leo just outside the front patio door. I have seen all of them this evening. Thanks for notes, prayers and your patient reading of the Good Things (I hope).

. Have a nice Wednesday.
