Well Then...

The patched deer fence seems to be working. There have been deer all around the property but none inside the fence. Good thing because Norma has spent a small fortune on plants. So far, so good. I have to tackle rebuilding the small garden shed that got destroyed by the landslide. It is broken but still on the foundation and it 'sort of' keeps the rain out. I need a plan. The foundation is too small and I want the shed a little bigger. I also need my son to help. This is what he does and it would be a 3 or 4 hour job for him. But he is in Mexico right now. It would take me a week and $500 worth of material.

I went to the doctor for my six month checkup and lab result consultation. My numbers are all good and well within limits. Everyone is happy. On the way out I asked the receptionist if I could use their new hi-tech scale and got on it. She pressed a couple of buttons and up came 242.7 pounds (fully clothed). A huge improvement over the 260 pounds I clocked in at last September. I have no explanation for this weight loss which I first noticed in Palm Springs when my pants started falling down. I have not changed my lifestyle or my eating habits.

Property taxes are due on July 2 so I went down and paid them $2,150. That is after the two deductions (grants) we get, one for being old and the other for living in the house (as opposed to renting it out).

While I was in London Drugs waiting for my prescriptions I bought Norma some gardening gifts, a new pair of pruning shears, a pair of gloves and a watering wand. $50 and she likes me again.

That is about it. Life is Good!
