Three Score and Now Eleven + Day 155 Dear Grandsons It is day 155, What did I get done in the last 5 days? I have to think about it. I did some internet listings in the store, and there were mailings to do. We went to the city yesterday and grocery shopped. And there were not any Fireworks, But I did see sparks a couple of times. It went well with the exception of growing expense along some empty shelves. I sure am Thankful for our large gardens and a Wife that is a great cook and likes to do so. We do not need to buy premade or processed foods. Next up is the dreaded Property Taxes due along with property Insurance. we do plan for it during the year, so it is not a surprise. I have been paying property tax since 1974. It has been a pile of money. What is a surprise is the new Water Softener just installed? And now a bit later a new Wind Shield for the van. I had hoped I could put it off for a while, But the crack has grown. I will have it replaced soon, Note I am not saying when for sure. it is the time off year to now do the year end bookkeeping. It is interesting to plan for a coming year and then assess how you did at the end of the year. it is not written in stone, but it does give you something to shoot for. We are now starting the planning for this season's gardens. We will get seed and fertilizers' soon, maybe Friday. There are more gardens being planted all the time. Lukas and Levi you phoned on Monday evening. I am sorry I do not always have a lot to talk about. I am afraid at this age I do not lead a very exciting lifestyle. I can get about 6 good hours of physical activity out in a day and then I am tired. We stay close to home in winter. Thank You for calling. Having you phone is very important to me, For me to hear of your activities. I went to bed last evening about 8;30 I was very tired, and I am also tired now. I can tell I am again rambling. So, I need to end this. There is no good reason to bore all of you. Please have a Blessed Evening |
