Batting Averages.

 Batting Averages.

 

Sterling and Jacqui were over at the park where Henrietta has a place for travelers to pull in with the trailers of all kinds. They like that place. And Sterling wanted a new battery for his trailer so the sides would slide out better or something. He did not know of a place to buy a battery on a Sunday, so it seemed to me O’Reilly’s might have what he needed. They came, they purchased a battery, came here, and we went to Chicken Express. They were still bragging about the chicken livers that they got from my house a few days ago. So, Jacqui had chicken livers again. Anyway, supper is done, they have headed back to Henrietta, and the old woman is about ready to talk to the hens about going to bed early.

 

Really enjoy visiting with them. Jacqui is slower than Sterling, but he just gives her a hard time and she reminds him that it could be him. Think she gives about as good as she gets. We talked about the different bulls we had had dealings with when we were kids. Granddad Kennedy had one bull that he did not raise that was a bit of a mean critter. It charged Sterling when he was riding Nelly and knocked them down. Thankfully that never happened to me, but the bull that had to be chased from Douhitt’s pasture got his hind end bumped when Daddy had to get him back in Granddad’s pasture. My horse was much faster on the whirl than ol’ Nelly ever hoped to be. Just had to keep him far enough from Douhitt’s cattle to not have to chase him out of the herd. The four heifers he took with him were not that much of a problem, but that bull was hard headed. He never gave us any more trouble after Daddy bumped him home with the truck.

 

It's been a fairly quiet day. Have read two books and started on another. Love these little mysteries! Romances are nice and all that, but at my age, well, let’s face it: who wants to be tied up in someone else’s family. Everyone my age already has a family and grands or great-grands. That takes quite a bit of adjusting for everyone. Better off to just have friends—just friends.

 

Have pretty much stayed off the computer today except for one game called June’s Journey. Have not even messed with looking at the news. Not much will change for a while. Early voting begins in Texas on October 24 when Patty and the old woman will go up to the mall and get it done. Will drop Patty and a walker off at the doorway area, park her car, and then we’ll get ‘er done. Gotta make sure that the fake Beto does not get any votes extra.

 

Talked to Jennifer last night and they have a cruise planned for someplace south of Texas. Will be hoping the storms avoid the places they plan to go. Really wish we could get some rain, and it used to be that hurricane season meant we would get rain. Would not want rain at the cost of lives and destruction if that is the only way we can get rain. We may all have to figure out a way to dig for water instead of oil at the rate we are going.

 

Pray for peace. May God have mercy on this ol’ world and all of His people. Even the creatures living with us need His protection. Let us show love to others as He has shown love to us. You know that YOU are loved.
