Wednesday, February 14, 2024 Sunny, Cool, Breezy 60 Degrees 4:10 p.m.
A beautiful day, sunny, cheery, a bit breezy and great to be outdoors enjoying the fresh air. The sky is so blue without a cloud in sight. HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY TO ALL!
Yesterday was nice. Dottie and I spend the day just visiting and relaxing. She was having a washing machine problem so had called a repairman to come and fix it. He was so nice, did a great job in a short period of time. The part he had to replace had to do with “telling the water temperature, which temperature to go to which hose. Very interesting. He explained what that part did, and why there was this copper thing on the inside of the wall of the machine, it keeps the running of the machine from interfering with the TV or other electronics in the home.
He told us that if we have true stainless steel appliances we should wipe them down with baby oil. They will stay shiny and fingerprint free until the oil wears off, at least a few months. He told how to care for the glass top electric stove that is so popular back here, to use a plastic putty knife if something gets spilled on it and sticks. Just all kinds of hints to keep the appliances clean and in working order. i have his car just in case we ever have the need of a repairman for our appliances.
AT 8:00 p.m. Jerry, Tammy, Dottie, Tina and I met at Cheddar’s to celebrate Jerry’s birthday. We had a nice dinner and he received his cards and gifts. I enjoyed making his gift and card as while going through a box I found a letter that he wrote my mom, telling her that he liked the shirt she gave him but he really wanted a tennis racket and the game Risk so he could play with his friend, Jason. Jason got a tennis racket for Christmas but didn’t have anyone to play tennis with. Jerry knew that his Mom probably wouldn’t get that for him. It was a good letter that he typed on my old typewriter. There was a bit more to it and I probably didn’t get all the wording correct, but that letter was in the center of his card. I gave him a tennis racket, tennis balls and the game Risk. I was so sorry he had to wait so many years for what he asked for, but I sure enjoyed getting them for him now.
Dinner was great. Food was good as was the service. The waitress gave Jerry a ice cream Sunday for his birthday. He had chicken pot pie for the main course, Tammy had salmon, Dottie and Tina had steak and I had ribs. All very good. The best part was the good company. Oh, yes, we sang Happy Birthday to him.
Today everyone is re-leaved to know that the man hunt for the man who killed one deputy and injured another has been caught and is behind bars. He was captured yesterday afternoon. The deputy’s funeral was this afternoon. To many shootings.
Quote of the day: “We learn to believe by believing. We learn to love by loving. The practice of acting on a certain thing; even (for especially) when feeling is absent, embodies the entire “how” of growth.” Eugenia Price, 1916 – 1996, American Writer.
Have a beautiful rest of your Wednesday. Make it a productive, positive, enjoyable and fun day.
