Today’s Thoughts
A nice spring day…can’t
complain.
I got a notice
yesterday that the HOA will have a crew to paint the wood facia on my deck on
Monday. I had to clear off the deck for this. I had to clear off a couple of
small tables, and a couple of chairs and move them inside for this event. My guest
bedroom is filled with outdoor stuff, but I have no visitors expected so all is
good.
My formal colleague,
Cheryl, is still in Ca. It’s her birthday so I tried to call her. I finally got
her son and he said she is now at a retirement community near him. She recently
had a knee replacement and is doing well. She is 78 and not able to live on her
own. Her son has moved some of her stuff to CA and is in the process of getting
her house in Williams ready as a rental. I called and talked to her for about
an hour. She is happy and healing well. She doesn’t like driving anymore and is
adjusting well to her new situation. I gave her number to several of her
friends here in AZ after getting her approval. It was good to talk to her.
Today and tomorrow
are our local university’s commencement. I won’t be going to that side of town
for a few days. Adding graduation traffic to the already congested road
improvements, I’ll just avoid it.

How much is there? Enough to coat the entire surface of the Earth in 1.5 feet
of gold.
