Friday, Jan. 10, 2020 – A Quieter Day

Dearest Roy,
Things quieted down a bit today, I didn’t have to go anywhere, so I concentrated on contacting all of the various places that will need paperwork to update accounts and stuff. The funeral home wants to know how many copies of the Death Certificate I need, so that was the exercise for today. Karl talked about going to a movie, but that never happened, which was probably a good thing, it’s been so busy, so a quiet day was a good idea. I had a long conversation with Donna, my friend from Cleveland this afternoon, she’s talking about coming down later in the season.
I’m thinking about going to the Florida Cattle Drive reunion now, and Jeff’s even considering coming with me. I don’t want to have to break down the whole trailer, though, so I think I’m just going to tent it, and hope for better weather than when we were on the actual cattle drive! I know you won’t forget how cold it was, then how rainy it was, then how wet it was (who could forget sleeping in wet clothes in a wet tent, a wet sleeping bag, a wet pillow!) Wouldn’t have thought it was possible, but we did it anyway! Next year, in 2021, they’ll be having the actual 500th anniversary of the arrival of cattle in Florida, so that’s likely to be a big one, I’m thinking about doing that one already, too, but we’ll see.
Meanwhile, once the afternoon ended, I binged on several episodes of Suits, then a couple of Cheers!, two of which you would have hated, as they were retrospectives, but I slogged through them. I finally got around to putting out a couple of mousetraps under the slide, Lola’s been barking at the floor again, so hopefully I can start to get rid of them.
Well, not much else to report. As I said, a quiet day! Love you! Good night!
