I awoke around 5am with the birds singing. I made some coffee and took Danny for a walk around the park. Someone called out the window saying,”Good Morning.” I couldn’t see who it was. When we got back, I finished my coffee and had some cereal. I ate it on the back steps as I didn’t have anything to sit on. I decided to go over to my niece’s house to get my green lawn chairs. Her dogs heard me and started barking. I got the chairs and Ed came out to help me. We also put the little tables in the car. I had to wash them all up as they were out in the rain. They had been stored at Cheryl’s since last fall. They also have a couple benches, my glider, and my wooden picnic set.
I have been making a list of what I need to bring next time and a list of what I have to buy. I slept on an air mattress last night. Danny doesn’t like the air mattress. He must think we’ve having an earth quake every time I move.
After lunch, I went to Home Depot but forgot my list and could only think of a few things I needed and that was for my other house. I did get some filters for these air vents. I may have to get new vents, these do not have the shutters that close or else, they don’t work. There are a few odds and ends that need attention. Ed and I figured out how to fix the storm door frame. He will help me with it after the Canal Days. The whole town is getting ready. There will be vendors in the little town and the Chesapeake Inn hosts a boat party in the marina. Cheryl and Ed will be hosting a party on his house boat. It is a Marti Gra Party. Ed and company will be dressed as pirates. The boats all anchor together and you can step from one to the other. Many people miss-step and end up in the water.
I went down to the little town and walked along the marina dock. There is a little ice cream store there so I got some ice cream and sat on the dock to eat it. I saw a barge go through the canal with a huge crane on it. I wondered if it would fit under the bridge but it did. I went into a little general store. It was more of a gift shop but had been a general store at one time.
When I returned, I talked with the manager. She lives next to me. Her son-in-law was there and he said he would cut my grass until I got my mower over here. He lives on the other side of me. It is very quiet here. The only noise I hear is the noise of the mower or the whine of the weed trimmer. I do have to get some room darkening drapes though. I have blinds on the windows but there is a street light right out front and it lights up the area like broad daylight. The light filtering through the blinds looks as if the sun is coming up. I dragged the air mattress into the office on the other side and shut the door.
Danny has gone to bed. I will turn in early myself.
