Off the List
As fall approaches there are lists that need to be paid attention to. Today, I knocked a huge one to the curb. We have always changed oil in our vehicles every 3,000 miles. Today my car was within 100 miles of that. I called with the thought of getting an appointment for tomorrow. Ring, ring . . . “We can get you in at 10:30.” I looked at the clock and it was a little after nine. I was there in plenty of time, and as I said, one more item off of the list. Everything checked out good. I do have a reminder on my records and theirs that the right strut is be looked at the next time I come in. Fair enough.
The sun coming out brings the temps to 80 in no time at all. The humidity and dew point are reasonable. The warm sun did bring Dennis to a sweat this afternoon. Our huge evergreen on the northwest corner of our home had shed its pollen profusely. Over the years our front sidewalk to our front door is virtually green. Dennis has scrubbed with a soap, then rinsed. He tried some de-greaser, then rinsed. Not to worry. Going online, we have a line on some cleaners, but first of all we are going to try vinegar. Of course there is always a DIY suggestion. Is it a big deal. Absolutely not! Was it a good thing that Dennis saw it and wanted to tackle it? Absolutely yes!
Stauffer Avenue is going into the season of having not left anything undone that we could not tackle. Priceless! We may be a year older and a bit slower, but the secret is to keep moving . . . and we do!
Who is up for sauerkraut and wieners for supper! Sounds to me like a great fall-feeling supper.
