The News From Here

Breezy out today. I was all set to wash the patio & courtyard floors but there isn’t much point as ya may not be able to see it but there is some dust in those breezes. Oh Dear, nothing to do – Ha Ha Ha

OK I’ve learned- the firewood source I’d found is not reliable – Two trips and no one there. I understand their real job is cutting and trimming trees and the firewood is “add on” work & money.” Next time I’m ready to try it I’ll CALL first.

After an extended break for breakfast, grocery shopping and CLEANING the courtyard & patio floors.
I just got word of the passing of an old sometimes friend, sometimes enemy, sometimes employer, sometimes partner but always an interesting character Fred E. Finck. I last saw him & Clare at Steak & Shake in Alton around 10 years ago. He wasn’t tracking so well but he WAS still Fred.

Shirley has her follow up doctor’s appointment in about an hour. There is a little stress involved but they both seem to be in good shape. Sure hope I right about that.

Last night I burned apple wood in the outside fireplace. Wow what a pleasant aroma came from that. I had been keeping it for smoking meat but “what the heck“ I have tons of stuff AROUND here that I’ve been saving for some occasion that never materialized – I think it’s time to NOT do that - AS MUCH. (chuckle)
