Today was rather uneventful....In fact I never even cranked my car up.
It rained this afternoon, just enough that I could not finish mowing the lawn. I did finish the back yard. The Building in the back ground is my shop and home to my cats....I have three, Scout, Harper Lee, and Boo.
Saturday evening the members of the Baptist Church celebrated their pastor, doctor John McCall birthday,#90 with a party. The theme was Andy Griffith and Mayberry. I wish I had a picture...I heard Jo Gayle Reeves was dressed up like Aunt Bee she wore a genuine pill box hat. It was a catered affair, they had roast beef and all of the fix'ns for dessert they enjoyed a true southern favorite banana pudding.
