I waited over two and a half months for these visitors and they were well worth the wait. Today I got to meet someone who is no longer an imaginaryfriend but a real live, flesh and blood person.


I also had the privilege of meeting her handsome spouse


and her two delightful (and very well mannered) children.


Thank you Jennifer for taking the time to stop for a visit on your way through town. I had a lovely visit with you and your beautiful family. I'm sorry you didn't get to meet Angel. She eventually came home around four o' clock. Also, thank you for the gift. We were going to try some tonight but I had to deliver my papers. Tomorrow for sure.


Now, on to the other people:
Today of all days our carpenter decides to come install our closet doors.

Stain job by little ol' me.


I was NOT impressed with the sawdust on my bed.
This is the same fellow who came to fix my floor. He spent 15 minutes trying to pound the board back into place then told me he had to go back to the flooring store to get some tape (for traction) and he never came back......until today. Frankly, I was afraid that if I told him he'd have to come another day I wouldn't see him for another few months.
The people who deliver my newspapers to me dump three, bundled stacks of 20 newspapers and 17 loose papers on my front porch every Thursday evening. They are getting pretty sloppy with the bundling though. Today the strapping slipped off one of the stacks of 20 and it was a bit windy so I had 37 newspapers slewed across my porch. If it happens again I will report them to the newspaper office.
