Regular life and a full stomach

Unexpectedly, Carol, the woman who cleans my house arrived at 10:00AM. I forgot she was coming. She left at 12:00 and I headed over to Martha and Shirley's. I had a b'day gift for Martha and just wanted to see them as I heard Martha had purchased a house in Nevada. They fed me lunch and Martha and I hung out when Shirley left for an appointment. Martha gave me a frame for one of my pictures and a hat that I admired. She seriously told me that she wants to help me clean my car next time I see her, not a bad idea...

I came home, Brian my handyguy, had put up my privacy bamboo fencing, to keep the my five dogs from barking as a vicious pack at one neighbor man, and at another neighbor's dogs.

I went next door to my neighbor Jennifer's and sat outside talking with her a bit about her daughter's 6th b'day and life in the neighborhood in general. She admired my new fence; this made me happy. I like it too.

I went back to my house and had a phone call from my friend, Mike, who said he wanted to bring dinner over to my house, he would cook it: hamburgers with chili, and then he also cleaned up the dishes. He helped me put my picture on this blog, we talked and then he went home. Friendship beyond the call of duty...

My brain is not too brainy tonight, just regular life, a stomach full of hamburger and fresh tomatoes, after a full day of good folks. My friendships are fulfilling, life is good and we'll see what the cosmos sends tomorrow. Bless, Iris
