Brown Yard

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 60 degrees, high 88 degrees, mostly clear skies

There has not been any rain to speak of at Terri's house for almost three weeks. Pretty amazing when we have had rain at the RV at least twice in the same time. As a result of no rain at the house, the grass in the yard is suffering. It is turning brown and hardly growing. The no growth part is fine with me except for the fact that we are trying to sell the house, and a green yard always looks better. And on top of no rain, I can't get the sprinkler system going.

The wife of the couple who looked at the house about two weeks ago was back today for another tour. The husband expects to come back after the holiday for another tour of the house, and to walk over the property. We'll see whether this goes anywhere. In the meantime, the house should be placed with the Realtor who came last week. One way or another, we hope the house sells soon.

We had a call from a person about buying Thomas's old bicycle. The person is looking at it tomorrow, and seemed very interested. If it is sold, that's one more thing that won't have to be moved. One step at a time.

Before we left Texas, Carolyn had prepared a dish several times that was new to us. That dish was lentils, and we were surprised by how much we liked them. Add some cornbread and a chunk of sausage, and you have some mighty fine eating. She fixed the same dish today, and it was a big hit for supper. Very tasty and filling.

Our great neighbors gave us some fresh cucumbers from their garden. We are looking forward to eating them. There is nothing like fresh vegetables.

Tomorrow is a special day for Carolyn and I. It will be our 45th wedding anniversary, and we do not have anything planned except a day for us. Just imagine, 45 years ago tonight I was still single, about to begin a life with someone I loved. I didn't know if the marriage would last, but was willing to take a chance that it would. Little did we know that our life together would be as good as it has been.

More later, be safe.
