Julian Oliver’s colt “grandson”
Finally, we are moved in, but still unpacking.
Just yesterday, unpacked enough boxes to get my computer and e-mail up and running from the house. Have been using the local library wireless with my laptop to read mail and check items on the internet.
In this little village of approximately 500 persons, we are 42 miles from the nearest “Superstore”. As in the olden days, we make a list of what we need, make one trip count to purchase and to save on fuel cost. This “Superstore” I think, is better stocked and the employees are much friendlier than in Henderson. When you go in this store and you ask an employee where something is, they will stop what they are doing and escort you to the aisle and where the item is located. I did not see that in Henderson. Most of time there, when I asked an employee where an item was located I would get a finger point and “Over Yonder”.
The weather has been cooperating, little rain, no flooding. Of course from ERIN, San Antonio was flooded from the rain, had no wind damage. Here in Utopia during the ERIN Rain, we got 3.1 inches in a 24 hour period. Understand from phone calls to friends back there, your weather has been much hotter and dryer than here. With the rain we have had, the humidity is up and the highest temps during the day range from 88 to 95 during the heat of the day.
On the bright side, our daughter Cheryl and her husband, has 4 horses and on August 22, the mare had a male colt. Conversation with daughter today indicates mother and son are doing fine. I guess now this makes me a Grandpa to horses.
