It was dreary when I got up this morning and it was dreary all day long; I do not think that the temperature got much above fifty degrees all day. What a change from a couple of weeks ago when it was in the nineties.
After eating breakfast, cleaning up my mess and reading the paper I went outside and used the line trimmer to trim the other side of the fence on the east side of the back fence. Then I trimmed my neighbor's yard around her fence and house where her son's riding mower does not get.
While I was doing that the spool for that holds the line broke so I had to stop. I will have to make a trip to Stark Street Lawn and Garden to see if I can find a replacement there. After I put the line trimmer away I got out my cordless hedge trimmer and trimmed the hedge on the east side of the house.
Once I had the "wild" new growth trimmed I put the trimmer away and got out my rake and a yard debris barrel and raked and picked up the trimmings. After I had it all picked up I put the rake away and went into the house and cleaned up.
It was lunch time so I made myself some lunch out of last night's left-overs and also had a turkey brat on a whole wheat bun with the last slice of provolone. After finishing eating I cleaned up the kitchen including picking up, shaking out the throw rugs, sweeping and spot mopping the floor.
I had thought about trying to do some painting upstairs but I did not want to because Kathleen was working on something for Alyssa and if she had finished them we were going to take her SUV to John's shop to change the oil and muffler. Then we would take the Jeep to Alyssa's to drop off the project, but since that never happened and when I realized that it, it was too late to get started.
One of the things that came in the mail today was our savings statement from the bank, so I reconciled it and filed it away. After I finished doing that I logged on line and checked the checking account online just to make sure that everything was okay.
Kathleen reheated the macaroni and tuna casserole from the other night for dinner tonight, there is just enough for a snack that was left-over so maybe tomorrow I will have that with something else for lunch.
I still have not heard from Sue today, I tried calling her home and cell phone again, but did not get any answer; her home phone just keep ringing so I am not sure what was up with that.

Hi Bob-
Bill's surgery went fine. The doctor is very pleased that they got everything the first time, but just went back in to be sure.
We have had no phone, no TV, and no Internet for the past 1 1/2 days due to horrendous thunderstorms. That is why you could not get through.
I never even put my cell on. I am just not a cell phone user and don't think about using it. I basically just have it with me in case there is an emergency.
Bill even went to work yesterday, which he should not have done. It was so hot, and he got his bandage soaked with sweat. He had to put a call in to the surgeon to find out what he could do.
It was 96 yesterday, and will be in the 90's at least through Monday, so I will not be getting any
yardwork done. I can just about stand getting out to water my flowers, and come right back in.
Mom got a nice postcard from Tomi which she reads over and over. She really is happy that Tomi thought to write to her!
Thanks so much for the thoughts and prayers. I hope you are feeling all better now yourself.
Love,
Sue
I did not preview my post and see I made a typo. I meant to type Toni, not Tomi!
I am glad that Bill is doing well and that the doctor felt that he got everything.
I had heard that the east coast was going through some pretty hot weather and a lot of thunder and lightning storms. I even hear that some places are having tornado's that do not normally have them.
I think that the weather we had a while back is what you are getting now. for us out here it was very unseasonably hot, this is more like what we usually have although it is about ten degrees cooler.
Try to stay as cool as possible and tell Mom hi from us.
