Happy Father's Day

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 69 degrees, high 88 degrees, partly cloudy

Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there. I spent my day as I wished, taking things easy. After my morning walk, I read the newspaper for the first time in quite awhile. Then I caught up on the e-mail and sent out replies on all the money that complete strangers are begging me to take. I have some good uses planned for the money when it gets here.

After lunch, we went out to Terri's house, where Carolyn prepared a nice supper that included pork chops and a cabbage that Ruth Plowman, our landlord, and her daughter Marsha gave us. The cabbage was a huge head that had to weigh at least ten pounds. It was sooo good.

I sold the generator today to a man who had just bought a new RV. The generator was the first thing he bought as an accessory for the RV, and he was happy to find that we had exactly what he was looking for. Now, if I could sell that piano, and 14 foot trampoline, and 48 inch table saw, and .........

After supper, we went for a ride to look at some houses for sale. We saw two that may warrant further looking. This does not mean we won't look further at the one we saw on Saturday. We just want to make sure Terri gets the right house.

The RV park where we stay and the owner's property has some beautiful plants and flowers. Below is a picture of Billy Plowman, the owner's brother-in-law, and some of his tomato plants.








Here's some of the many blueberry bushes that Ruth and Marsha have on their property. The bushes are full of berries.
















Below is a large Althea bush with double blooms. These folks have green thumbs like you have never seen.


More later, be safe.
