It was a good day today. Everyone was busy doing something. Chloe didn’t get up until noon due to a terrible night. When she got on line with a friend of hers that is vacationing in France, he asked, where were you from 6 am until noon? Funny stuff.

Colin got up about then as well and did some yard work before going off to a friend’s house. He and Dana did have their lunch date in there someplace. Although, we are hoping Dana doesn’t have food poisoning. When I left to take care of Kitty and the garden she was pretty puny.

I spent most of the day tearing the final bad part of the deck off the house. Next it’s four sets of stairs and the deck is back to useable. Well, it’s usable now but there is only one set of stairs that I feel comfortable with.

For advanced planning, I’ve been asked to play with a Christian Big Band for a concert at the Portland Christian Center on the SW side of town. It’s a pretty good band and and the show will be a good one that shouldn’t make anyone feel uncomfortable. It’s a Church Lite and most of the numbers are instrumental. The vocals that will be done are done well. August 8th, Sunday, at 6pm. It’s free but they will pass the plate. This is a 18 piece big band and I won’t be soloing anyplace, but it’s still worth hearing. Chloe and Dana will be there. Colin too, if he’s not in Canada.

While I was outside Dana came out waving two twenties! The young couple never called but they did finally come by and pay for the two boxes of things they got at the garage sale. This restores our faith in the goodness of people and in our instincts. It’s great when something like this plays out.

Be well,
Ron
