We've had some rain showers this morning, and its nice and cool today. Mostly cloudy, with a small breeze. This morning Adrianne called me back about the grasshoppers after I'd left a message last week at the weed and pest. Yesterday I saw the spray plane fly over - she said that would have been for mosquitoes - the first time I've known that they've sprayed for them clear down here. Seems like pretty much a waste of a lot of money since their season is nearly over by now. Bonnie said they had sprayed in their neighborhood earlier.
Did I say Beverly is going to come for over a week at Labor Day and the Betty will come about mid-September. Nancy might come with her again too.
Today Jackie said she and her husband might want to take a trip over this way at the end of August, and that would be so wonderful to see them after all these years. She may mean they would come on their motorcycle.
Bonnie stopped by this morning and took a water sample from our well in to Green River. She was going shopping down there. So now we will know for sure if the well has any contamination or not. Thank you Dear Bonnie, for that and all you do to help us.
James called this morning. He has asked if I would donate a piece of artwork to their Kendall Valley Fire Department Auction. There will be a BBQ and the auction up there on the way to Green River Lakes on August 15 but neither of us want to drive all that way and sit on a hard bench most of the day.
I upped the pain medicine to one every 8 hours and it is working so much better now. Just that I don't want to have to do that. Have been taking a nap in the day and am feeling better from more sleep. Anyway I dozed off the other afternoon and drastically burned up our carrots for dinner. Was looking forward to honey butter carrots with the meatloaf. Took days for the stench to go away. I haven't even had the ambition to put a battery in my studio clock, but after a good nap woke up yesterday and got the battery in, so I know the right time now. I made a couple of loaves of banana bread. Guess I just need to stop buying bananas because neither one of us is eating them. Then I feel obligated to use them instead of throwing them in the garbage.
TODAY IS BUGS BUNNY'S BIRTHDAY. I LOVE BUGS BUNNY! It was on this day in 1940 that Bugs Bunny made his official debut in an animated film short called A Wild Hare. Even though a slightly different version of the rabbit had been around in some earlier films, A Wild Hare is considered the first official Bugs Bunny film because it's the first one that used his trademark voice and the first time he asked Elmer Fudd, "What's up, Doc?" Bugs Bunny was modeled on Groucho Marx.
