Chicken Pot Pie

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 72 degrees, high 85 degrees, partly cloudy until mid-afternoon, then light showers until dark

After my morning walk, we visited the WalMart Mall to pick up some groceries. The bustle of people shopping and quick movements caused Carolyn to have some problems with her vertigo. Once we left the mall, the vertigo symptoms subsided. As a result of her problems, she is continuing to take things easy. One thing she did do was prepare a chicken pot pie for supper. It was a big hit with everyone.

I continued getting stuff ready for the yard sale that we are planning for Friday and Saturday. In addition, Terri has some things that we think would sell better through the newspaper, so I worked with those items to make sure they were okay. In the case of gasoline powered machines, I started all of them up to make sure they ran. Those included a power blower, a brush cutter, an extra weed eater, a pressure washer, and a 5500 watt generator. In addition, they have a 85 cc dirt bike that wouldn't start. I changed the spark plug on that and got it running. It might sound like I did a lot, but it wasn't that bad a day.

About 15 feet from our RV, some of the best looking tomato bushes we have ever seen are planted. The person who has the green thumb is our next door neighbor, and he also has some squash planted. Billy is his name, and he worked at the University until retirement. He says his boss was Bear Bryant, and he has another story about The Bear every time I talk to him. Billy says he is going to share his tomatoes with us when they start producing, and we can't wait.

More later, be safe.
