I am barely able to get a signal here. I’ll have to try out in the Florida room where I had a signal yesterday. I’m in the family room now. My nephew called last night and talked me through the TV set up.

I went to church yesterday. It’s a good thing I planned on going to the 10 am service because on my way down the road, I remembered the Father’s Day service was a combined service with Jacob’s Well (contemporary) and Trinity (traditional). They were having a covered dish breakfast at 9am. I got there about 9:45 so got a cup of coffee and pastry. Marian saw me and said,” Eat up.” I took some fruit and some egg casserole. It was a long service as they honored the “Dads and Grads.” They also had a couple crossed that were decorated by the congregation with flowers. A small one for the children and a large on for the adults. They looked very pretty but it was done at the close of the service and there was not much time to enjoy them.

I stopped by my mobile home to pick up a couple things. After 10am, it’s just too hot to do any outdoor work so I didn’t stick around or return later in the afternoon.

I spent the day in the basement recreation room. It is nice and cool down there. It is a finished basement with a large TV and comfortable seating area. The problem is you have to run up and down the stairs to the kitchen and bathroom. The Florida room makes the first floor warm and the second floor hot. When I talked to Rick, he asked what the thermostat was set at. I said 76 on hold. He said that was too warm and to turn it down. He sets it on 68. I put it on 74. In my mobile home, I set it on 78 for daytime and 80 for night. The mobile home gets a lot of shade but Rick’s house is in direct sun all day with the Florida room getting a southern exposure.

I drove to the corner Deli last evening. It was a BP station with the BP in very small letters so you could hardly see it. At first I thought they had covered it up. The logo and green stripes were evident. I got some ice cream and chocolate mini donuts. I paid with one of the dollar bills that had the end ripped off. I don’t know how I got it but the Deli refused to accept it. I hope I can take it to the bank and exchange it or deposit it with some other money.

Rick has a garden hose that is very fat in diameter. I watered the flowers in the back and felt like I was using a fire hose. It’s at least an inch and a half wide. I had better do the front and get over to my mobile home and water my outdoor flowers. I thought we’d be getting some rain today but not is forecast until Wednesday or Thursday and then it will be scattered showers.
