City:
Yesterday's post got lost. We went to quaker meeting, stayed and talked with folks, then gave someone a ride- quite a ways. Then home for corn lunch. R went off to work and I, ate more - fish and berries. Still not feeling like potting so computered and watched Beethoven, thankful for the good ending. Then Big Bang and in the half hour between that and Doc zone - about wind turbines and the health effects thereof - computered and read. Actually, I keep the computer on lap so I can continue during commercials. Then there was a true crime programme which was horrendous and then the news - and R came home so I fed us celery soup, and berries! Most TV I have watched in years. Spent a lot of time on line looking for a camper type vehicle, like a Westfalia. Or a trailer for the land I have not yet found.

Thankfully, R finished waterproofing that roof because it is raining today. Lightly so far. A tall stool, found in trash but much too nice to be trashed (solid wood) and a cabinet on wheels are now in my car to go to country tomorrow. Clothes are packed for trip to Ontario. Small load of clothes to wash tomorrow. Dishes done. Yard too wet to weed. I need to do one thing on computer - prepare a limerick I wrote for a friend in Ontario many years ago so he can have it. He kept my ancient cars running when I lived there. He may post it on the wall of his business. I once had it printed and a mat for it, maybe even a frame but they are lost in the archives. Then I will be computered out.

There is a mechanic named Pete,
Who is always so cheerful and sweet,
Has a great car side manner,
Never throws you a spanner.
I call him Sir Galahad Pete.

HOPE: a BIG yard sale at the mill next year. In the meantime, a designated place for all the stuff we can both live without.
