Good Day "54"

Good evening,

We went for a good walk today, although it was hot there was a nice breeze, had to walk past a bull though, which was scarey as i had a red top on, luckily he never stirred, 

Weather will be clearing up here today and then an week of decent weather...about right for this time of the year. Of my transplants I have one small tomato plant that hasn't bounded out of it yet...rest are perky looking this morning. Two weeks ago my sister was taking an test they gave her for not being able to sleep...but when she was here, she slept basically for 14 hours..getting up briefly two times for going to the bathroom....my grandson that came in last night at midnight...we had an time and an half getting him to get up at 10 am...he seemed an bit "out of it" also. No one seems to be having problems here sleeping but then again, when we are awake...we are doing things. 

Yesterday I bought an Jewish Cookbook...to add to all the other countries I have in cookbooks. This one tells more about what's traditional to eat also. Namely beef, lamb, chicken and fish with scales...removed for cooking. To me the things that might not be allowed such as Ham has so radically changed since biblical days.Particuarly after it's been processed...guess they still get roast Red Peppers for their ham. 

I bought another book also on Lewis and Clark and Thomas Jefferson in opening up the American West. I also have their journals in an book also. Far differnent then this book.  These books claiming to be an New York Times Bestseller are the most radical books I've ran across to when it comes to history telling. For instance there's 9 pages related to the subject of veneral disease amoung the men and treatments. He mentiones one Indian I've never heard of before also But he does offer an full bibilography on everthing written....which is usually an opinion by someone before he rewrote it in story form. I was last night looking both books over somewhat. I think it was in Untold America" TV Series that they mentioned that in North Carolina Sassafras grew wild and was going to be used to import back into Europe for Syphillis..it was running pretty rampant at one time. But has always been an social problem of society. That includes the modern times as much as the ancient past.

Well, I have an washing machine to pick out and get installed this week and an driver's Liscense renewal...and odds and ends in the garden and then I'm going to try to take out the stairway carpeting and paint the entry way. So talk to everyone later on.

Ah HA!....got the washing machine, it's installed and running now...I

am on an roll around this house of mine in improvements!  Almost

$200 off with discounts...you know they have Veteran discounts at

many of the stores now...it really helps.  

A pleasant Good Evening to you all, We are finally seeing the leaves on the trees start to pop out and the crabapples are just starting to show their flowers.

I hope this finds us all "Ship shape and Bristol fashion"
