My camera broke, and I’m not replacing it until I can spring $300 or so. Without a camera I can’t share the gorgeous blue almost cloudlesss sky outdoors. It looks for all the world like a lovely spring day except there are no leaves on the trees and it’s cold outside.
I live in Caldwell, Idaho, by the way, which is in both one of the driest and one of the wettest states in the union. We zealously guard our treasure that spouts up from springs, falls from the sky, meanders through farmland or, most valuable of all, melts from the annual snowfall. How we love winter snow! This year we don’t have enough so there’s probably another drought just around the corner.
I mentioned earlier my cello concert. I have so much to learn and practice. I could spend hours every day and make a little more progress. My cello, however, rolled off my couch onto a carpeted floor and plunk! broke in two. I found a gal who was referred to me as an excellent cello fixer and after I met her and looked around at her shop in Eagle, I was sure of it. But she says three months anyway until she has it fixed. It’s been two months already.
Spent last week end in College Place. Got to be the “guest” at my aunt Orletta and uncle Don’s lovely place there. I sleep there as well as I do in my own bed. If I wake up at night I’m never sure where I am until I sit up and look around.
I didn’t pay my cable tv bill properly, so the company came around and disconnected my service. I don’t remember that threat! Oh, well. I’ve now learned how to find TV and movies on my computer and don’t miss it that much. I also have a couple of high-fi radios, and the newspaper still comes to my house every day. I’m saving $43 a month by not having cable TV, and it will cost me about $159 or so to get it going again…So I figured I’ll wait until the $43 I’m not spending each month catches up with the money they want from me to set it up again, and we’ll see.
Have a great life today and tomorrow. If you love somebody, you are loved. If you help somebody, you are helped. If you smile, you are happy!
