Had a delightful, deep conversation with two of my guests last night. I love when that happens. We talked about life, death and everything in between.
Went into Emporia this morning to get chicken feed, dog food and water softener salt. When I was getting the flat cart a worker from Bluestem came over and ask if he could help me. He loaded all eight 50 pound bags onto the flat cart for me, pushed it to the check-out and then loaded my car. It was an easy shopping trip for me. I even found a pair of Levi jeans on sale for $7.00.
I am going to Pioneer Bluffs for a board meeting this afternoon. Counting down my last few meetings as I go off the board in December. Being on a board is just not my thing.
The rooster seems to do being OK today. He is walking around and crowing loudly. I found him upside down hanging off the fence last night. He had gotten his talons stuck in the fence. After I got him loose he was limping around and shaking his head. Hard to know how long he had been trapped. Wonder how he got in that position to start with. Wished I had my phone with me to have taken his picture. I thought he was dead when I first saw him.
Am flipping two bedrooms today. Have the third load of laundry going. Don’t think I will get the rooms cleaned before I have to leave for the board meeting. I have all day tomorrow to finish one of them and won’t need the other one until Sunday evening.
My other guest is out and about today. She took a vacation day and was going to go take a long hike at the Preserve this morning.
My baby brother called today. He was at the gas station in Lebo and one of my linemen was there too. They had traveled to several out-of-state jobs together fixing power outages. It is a small world!
Need to get chicken chores done before I leave for the afternoon. Best get at it as it is almost time to leave.
Grateful for my wonderful guests that are willing to engage in deep conversations, grateful for helpers at Bluestem that make buying 400 pounds of feed and salt easy, and grateful my rooster appears to have survived getting stuck in the fence – oh if he only knew about Operation Rooster!
