Weather: low 73 degrees, high 95 degrees, partly cloudy skies
The first part of our day was spent taking care of some chores. When that work was finished, we went out for a ride in places that we were familiar with from our time living here. The most impressive trees we have ever seen are the huge, ancient redwood trees on the west coast. Those trees have no equals that we have seen. Running second on our list of impressive trees are the old oak trees that are so common here in north central Florida. A unique feature of the ones that grow here is that they shed their leaves in the spring. We have enjoyed seeing all the different shapes of these beautiful trees since we've been here. This picture was found on Wikipedia. The moss is an added touch that brings a little of the old south back.
Before we came home, we stopped and visited with Carolyn's mother. We are so glad that Doris's general health is still good. She will be 86 years old next month.
When we got home, I was doing something in the basement, and noticed a little water on the rubber liner that covers the floor. Looking for where the water came from, I discovered that a plastic fitting on the water heater that lets cold water into the bottom of the tank was leaking. I couldn't tighten the fitting any more, and since it is plastic, I decided to wait until tomorrow, when I'll drain the water heater tank, remove the fitting, and go get a brass fitting to replace it with. I would have finished the repair today, but it was too late to get the part I need.
One of our favorite meals is breakfast, whether it's for breakfast or supper. We hadn't eaten any eggs in awhile, so tonight it was eggs, grits, sausage, toast, and strawberry jam. That was so good!! Question: has anyone ever seen a grit tree?
Remember what happened yesterday with Carolyn being in the shower, soaped up, and the shower tank being full? Well, that didn't happen today, but she made sure to let me know that the black water tank needed to be dumped. Now, why would she think she has to remind me to dump tanks? I never forget stuff like that. Usually.
More later, be safe.
