September 12


View of the day-They were calling for snow, but so far all it did was rain, but...it could be worse...this is our back deck last winter after one of the many snowstorms left its mark.

Woke up to rain and it continued pretty much all day. We went into town to pay our *^%8#-ing land taxes...and just leave it at that. We drove around and checked out the changes that took place in town while we were gone, and there were a few but nothing major. After lunch we decided to take a road trip to Grayson to visit the local banker and get caught up with the gossip there.

It rained all the way down there, quit for a bit while we had coffee and checked our lottery tickets. The local hardware/license issuer/video rental/bus depot/lottery outlet, runs Marilyn's favorite numbers on the Western 649, every Saturday while we are away. After checking the all the accrued tickets, Marilyn had won a total of $34, which meant she still owed $12 for the summer...looks like we won't be retiring anytime soon. Just as we left the store it started to rain again as we started the drive back to Yorkton.

We did a bit of shopping and it seemed to be "seniors day" at the grocery store...not that there is anything wrong with that, but it was slow going up the aisles. We came back home and just looked out the front window at the pouring rain...a perfect day to just curl up on the couch and watch TV...the stuff from the camper will put itself away.

Marilyn had been suffering with sort of a head cold, or perhaps allergies. Something seemed to rear its head right after having to clean out the rotor. Now is a fine time to discover an allergy to grain, isn't it? Well, that's if it is indeed an allergy. Today was head achy, chills, stuffed sinuses...a day just made for recuperating.

We talked to Marg and Kim down at Carlyle and they had a beautiful day, with lots of combining...

Maybe we do bring the rain...
