Joe Putting Away John Deere BToday was very windy, about 50 degrees and cloudy. We decided to stay home and just hang out here. Nancy fixed breakfast. The last time she was here she made Dutch Baby, and she made that again with bacon and fresh fruit. We still haven't seemed to run out of things to talk about, old and new. They are helping with all the chores. We looked at some old photos of my dad's family and marveled at the way they traveled, lived and dressed etc. For lunch I made my grandmother's potato soup with veggie and dip and crusty french bread. This afternoon I was glad for help on another purge of my closet and dresser drawers. Now it is down to a good and manageable and sensible amount. It felt like nore weight lifted, and somehow more peaceful to see it uncrowded and uncluttered, yet there are still more clothes than I really need.
Joe has been servicing his tractors. We watched wildlife, gravel trucks, Richie's sorting their cattle, birds and cats. I don't know what else we did, but managed to fill the day. Dinner was broiled marinated rib steak, baked potatoes, corn on the cob and salad. Tonight we watched the silent film "Grass", which I have on DVR - Four stars - tribes of nomads with their flocks crossing Persia to find new pastures. We talked about high school, and both Betty and Nancy remember a lot more about the schoolmates than I do but then they both went to grade school together in Henderson too and I just went to high school. All of it is helping my memory with "The Book".
