Cool Temps

This morning Dennis grabbed a jacket on his way to the patio porch.

I found the morning just right for my walk down Stauffer Avenue.

True to his word, Dennis’ grandson, Ryan, was here this afternoon to help grandpa unload the implement trailer with the limbs from the Maple tree’s loss the other night.  The fellows headed to the tree dump and were back home before I had a load of laundry folded.  Once again the trailer is parked in the east portion of the acre.

Ryan carried two old chairs out to the curb for us.  Dennis and I have talked about visiting the Hanska Furniture Store long enough.  It is now time for action.  If a chair cannot be found in Hanska that will serve me well, we will continue on to Sleepy Eye.  Dennis has a beloved recliner that has several years on it, but still has good support.  A chair that supports my back and one that I do not have to crawl up and out of is what is desired.  We purchased a sleeper sofa when Dennis’ grandchildren wanted to stay with us.  It does remain in fairly good shape.  Megan and Nicholas made good use of it also.

Truth to be told . . . in my 78 years, it was 57 years ago that I chose a rocking chair to be purchased with which to rock babies.  It was purchased in Mart, Texas.  Carrie asked for the rocker last year and it was then reupholstered.  Picking out and purchasing a grown up’s chair for myself will be quite the experience.  I think I can handle it.

For now the laundry basket is empty.

Dennis and I are looking forward for the remainder of the weekend to be quiet. 

There will be no studio lights turned on today.
