Another Nice Day
The birds were loud this morning.
As I lay in bed, listening, I was putting together my agenda for the day. I have a notification that an order from Amazon may be here later this week.
After my two cups of coffee, I headed to the studio to check out my sewing machine. It had really done wonders with the last quilt. Fuzz and loose threads can cause a whole lot of problems going forward. I had not had the radio on for several days. Of course the broadcasts are all about the county fair taking place, with Redwood being the first. Watonwan County fair began yesterday with entry day. I hope they have a good turn-out.
Earlier this week, I received notification that my cousin Shirley Wendlandt Hahn had passed at the age of 76. Her husband, Ron, had passed away several years ago from complications of a stroke. Prior to passing he knew Shirley was showing signs of dementia. Everything was in place for Shirley to be living in a health care facility after he was gone. Dementia is so hard on the organs of our body. I will not be attending the funeral and I have let my aunt, Janet, know this. Janet is 93 and is the youngest of my dad’s family. Her twin brother has been gone for many years. Janet lives alone in her home in Brownton, Minnesota.
Shirley’s father, Lester, was one of my dad’s younger brother’s child.
In the mail yesterday, Dennis received a summons from our district court to report for jury duty. Refusal can be submitted after the age of 70 with the pertinent date of birth information. Dennis put the reply in the mail today. Nope . . . not going to do that ditty any more.
I continue looking out the bathroom window and seeing the barren Hosta beds. I feel nothing but sweet relief.
I noted on the news the 7.3 earthquake that hit Alaska on it’s southwest side. Kodiak, Alaska was in its range. Hmm. When we lived at South Branch, Orlin had applied for an assessor’s job in Kodiak.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
