Well, the guys are here at the house doing some work. Glenn is painting the walls in the living room. He's going to put the carpet in tomorrow.
One of his assistants is trimming the big tree outside. The other assistant fixed the privacy wall on the North side of the yard.
They've been working since 9 A.M. this morning. Waiting for them to finish so I can head out and go pay the bill and eat my supper.
I've had to do my office work from the bedroom because they are needing to replace the carpet in the living room due to the mouse problems earlier this year. The Orkin guy came by yesterday and restocked the mouse killer with more mouse food.

It is spelled “Linda”, but it was only $1.00 at a yard sale, so we forgive the misspelling.

Great concert last night.
The pre-concert recital had the Ehnes String Quartet playing Beethoven's Quartet in C minor, Op. 18/4. It was a wonderful performance, and they got all the little gags in the finale to sound funny.
They also performed the Beethoven Quartet in F, Op. 59/1, and that was a joy. This quartet is going to be a star. They handled the finale at a brisk pace with no dawdling. Bob deMaine on his Villaume cello was a standout because there are some great cello lines in that quartet.
The Mendelssohn trio was amazing. At the end I expected the instruments to be on fire. I was sure they were at least smoking.

Oh, so sorry to hear that your uncle passed. He had a very long and wonderful life and he was one of my military heroes.
Funerals are the only times I see my cousins too. Sad world.

Funerals are the only times I see my cousins too. Sad world.I see some cousins on a regular basis, mostly at reunions and other family events. Funerals are one event that has cousins from all over the states coming, especially for those who served in the military.
