Phone conversation #1:

Hello.  Is it raining at your house? No, I just came in from finishing the mowing and weed eating.  It isn’t raining here either – guess the weather man was wrong, huh? Supposed to rain this afternoon.  Wow, our grass sure has grown a lot with all the rain we’ve had this past week! Our’s too. You got your mower back, huh? Yes.  I am just glad that you can keep it in MY barn. I am heading out the door to come mow your lawn.  Really?  You don’t have to do that.  How did you know it needed cutting?  Ann will be happy as she likes it when you mow our lawn.

Phone conversation #2:

Hello.  How are Brad’s dogs? Huh?  I am sure you saw them while you were mowing Brad’s grass today! I did but I didn’t pay any attention.  My dog is in the hospital. I heard.  I have been so busy with my sick dog that I didn’t get to mow our lawn this week.  My mind just hasn’t been with it b/c of my dog’s situation.  Deidra wants our grass cut today but I am working! Really.  Did I mention my dog is in the hospital?  If he weren’t, I would have gotten the grass cut. Whatever!

So, my today consisted of finishing our yard and then waiting on Will Reynolds for about three hours, mowing Charles & Ann’s (for Ann) yard, mowing Brad & Daphne’s (for Titus) yard, mowing Soy & Deidra’s (strictly for Deidra) yard and most of the skating rink grass before getting drenched!  I fully expect my gear box to explode tonight as I cut grass in the rain today!

Word came that James Davis was being moved to the convalescent home yesterday afternoon.  This will allow him to receive physical therapy for his rehabilitation.  Pray for James, Imelda and family.

Fishing?  Yesterday?  Whatever!  If Tony Hacker ever gives you a marine weather forecast. . .   In other words, if he says “good morning” then start looking for your pajamas!  Tony had told me all week about how “great” the weather was going to be on Friday!  (I guess he didn’t specify which Friday?)  Obviously, if we were going to fish yesterday, it would have been in the ditch in front of the house!

It appears today will be a repeat of yesterday.  Boy, Charles is going to be upset with me b/c his lawn will not get mowed.  I recently learned from a very smart man that you cannot cut the grass when it is wet so that should eliminate tomorrow.  (The wet grass is what shredded the gear box in my mower)  Wow, that Soy is a walking encyclopedia!

Saw where Faith Academy won last night while Bryant lost against Daphne.  I am going to say that Bryant’s announcer did a better job than Faith’s!

Hope to see many members of the Friendship family in our services tomorrow.  To the rest of our readers, go to church!  That includes one T. Garrett Wright!
