Happy Birthday, Doris

Coker, Alabama

Weather: low 74 degrees, high 97 degrees, partly cloudy

It's hard to believe, but we were busy all day and did not do anything at the house. Instead, I helped Terri take care of some of her personal business until noon. At that time, she took possession of the apartment that she is renting. When we inspected the apartment, we found that it had been cleaned, but the cleaning did not really meet our standards. We went to the house and picked up the vacuum cleaner and carpet cleaner, along with some cleaning materials, and went back to the apartment. By the time we left late in the evening, the cleanliness of the apartment was more in line with what we expected. Tomorrow, we'll start moving the little bit of stuff that Terri wants to keep. She should be fully moved in and settled by Monday. Maybe we can finally get some rest. We're wore out.

Carolyn's mother, Doris, had her 84th birthday today. It would have been nice to be there and help her celebrate. Carolyn called her and wished her a happy birthday. We hope things settle down around here before long so we can go to Florida and see her. Happy Birthday, Doris, and here's wishing you many more.

As we were going home this evening from the apartment, I happened to notice that we were having a beautiful sunset. The sky had different shades of blue, white, and pink that were spectacular. I'm not sure man could duplicate the colors we saw.

In a recent post, I complained that even though the price of oil had fallen, we had not seen a decrease in gas prices. Guess what? Gas prices in this area have dropped about $.15/gallon in the last day and a half. Keep on dropping!!

More later, be safe.
