Some Days

    

     It is chilly here this morning.(57) I am waiting for it to warm up a bit before I take off on my daily walk. I have been walking a two mile route that I really enjoy. I go north on Country Club Drive till I get to the end then I turn left on West River Ridge Rd and walk toward town. This section is very rural and yesterday I surprised a deer. There is a short walk through the woods (saw a woodchuck or groundhog) where I connect up with a residential street. I make a U using about six blocks of Hillman then I climb a grassy hill, cross a downed fence and wend my way onto the golf course, past number 6 tee box and back to a street I do not recall the name of that leads back to the RV park . It is a two mile walk and takes me about 40 minutes. Yesterday I did not encounter one human.
     Butch is busy working on the bird blind. They are painting it today and he is really racking up the hours what with yesterday and today. He seems to be content with his work whatever it may be although he did grumble when he had to mow greens in the rain. It was a low grumble compared to some I have heard however.

     I am busy on the computer keeping up with sometimes as many as 6 blogs. Most prominent these days are this one of course and then www.thunderbayresort.blogspot.com   but then I have also had occasion to post on www.magnolianews.blogspot.com and www.smrvolunteers.blogspot.com as well as the new one www.musiconthe45th.blogspot.com  I keep saying I am not going to add any more but then the next group comes along and the first thing I know a new one has popped up. I am much better at pushing the responsibility for new input to others as quickly as possible. In some cases that means they will die. What will be will be.
     I placed an order for a new mouse for Butch. His fell apart. It was all clicked out. Moving those cards around takes a whole lot of clicks. Well the company I ordered from required the shipping address and billing address be the same unless you call your credit card company and add a new verified address. I did that. Todays email brought the message that the order has been cancelled because of conflicting addresses so I called the credit card company to verify that the new address was indeed on there. It was. So that company lost an order and I placed my order somewhere else. I would love to tell the company that paranoia doesn't pay well but I do not want to correspond with them again so now they will never know why they lose business.
     Heard from friends Kay and Pecan Bill and they plan to come visit us sometime soon. We will have to sit around the campfire and drink margaritas. It will be fun!
   And after thinking of Magnolia Park friends I must mention that the news this morning informed us that our favorite South Texas area is going to get smacked with hurricane Alex. We are keeping an eye on Alex. We hope he isn't too naughty.
