Making Progress

After morning chores I spent the morning mowing grass.  Finished three sections.  After taking a short break to cool off, I had lunch and then took a shower.  Next it was on to Opelika. When I left I planned to take the back roads like I usually do.  However, after I drove a couple of miles I came to signs telling me the road was closed.  I had to turn around and go by way of 80 and 51.  I had no idea that the road was being worked on.  There is a sign at Hwy 80 and Hwy 21 (the road I live on) saying the road is closed to all traffic except local.  It wasn’t there this weekend.

First stop in Opelika was Walmart to replace the duffle bags I can’t find, some roundup and a few other items.  I then went to Tigertown to return my old phone to Verizon.  This was done through UPS. They won’t accept them at the Verizon store because it messes up their inventory – so I was told.  I also stopped at Kroger.  By the time I arrived home it was time for supper.

After supper I sat outside on the deck and read for a while.  However, the no-see-ums were really bad so I came inside.  I did watch DWTS, and was very surprised at who was eliminated.

This morning I was up bright and early.  Did my morning chores and then proceeded to pack my suitcase and duffle bag.  I am just about ready to leave except for the last minute items.  I am looking forward to visiting in Cincinnati.

Yesterday I received two invitations in the mail.  Two of my very good friends from Green Township are retiring and there is going to be a retirement party for both of them.  I am so sorry that I will not be able to attend.  The dates just don’t work out for me.  However, congratulations to both Leslie and Mike (both Green Township Fire Department).  I hope you both enjoy your retirement as much as I have enjoyed mine!

Brian has arrived.  Got a good night’s sleep.  We are off to Cincinnati!  I will be back in a week.

Actually, I have returned.  Next blog will be about my quick trip.
