The days of fall have arrived with cool, cool nights and breezes, too. It would be nice to chat with you around a bonfire and talk about whatever. I remember how we loved looking into the coals and just telling stories and our dreams for the future. Will was here yesterday and I had him rearrange the living room to open up the fireplace. I am still debating on whether to turn the cable TV back on - the dark nights will be lonely without some noise in the house to block out any 'scary' noises outside.
I have been getting some 'things' done around the house - I hired a handyman. Jeff Bon is a "Jeff of all trades" and he loves to talk - he is 5 years older than me and single so I don't have to worry about taking him away from a wife when he works for me. He is a great friend already. Tomorrow he is going to go purchase the siding for the mobile home - it will be re-insulated and re-sided before too long. I am getting gutters and downspouts as well. He already put the de-icer heat coils on the roof to prevent ice build-up this winter. I have paid for the winter's propane allotment and I am almost ready for winter. Jeff is going to work for mom tomorrow afternoon for a bit, she is missing you, and all of the odd jobs you were able to do for her. We all miss you. Last year at this time, we were just beginning the journey that ended in June. I have a lump in my throat now - you sure put up a good fight, buddy. You were an inspiration to so many people. Live until you die!
Today is the last day of the fiscal year for the government and my short break is now over, I have a few more cases to check and then I will be finished for the evening. Another day, another year starts tomorrow.
Love you always.
