Some rain yesterday and last night with more in the forecast for today. Into each life a little rain must fall...or is that onto? I made a visit to the Library in Eldon yesterday, picked up a couple of books, and now I'm ready for a few rainy days.
We have the new steps finished with the exception of one 2x4 that will be put on sometime this morning. I'm not at all happy with the amateurish look of the steps and now believe that Dale and I could have done a job that would have looked 200% or more, better. The steps do provide a way up to the drive so I guess if you don't spend too much time looking at them they'll work. When the weather dries a bit I'll take a saw to them. Not to cut them down but to smooth out the step sides and the lower stoop sides a little bit. I'll get a picture later.
It sounds like Glenda and the girls will hide from some of the expected rain in the bowling alley at Eldon. I'm sure in some of the gossipy conversations they will each learn something new about a person, some people or a happening in not only our area but worldwide too. I'm sorry I'm going to miss that. I'll not learn much about the news from Glenda when she gets home either since she tends to forget most of it, if not immediately she does shortly thereafter. I think their bowling scores are greatly influenced by the depth of the gossip.
So there you go for this day.
"To a philosopher all news, as it is called, is gossip, and they who edit and read it are old women over their tea." -Henry David Thoreau
