Throw Back Thursday...
1957 me ... Girl Scout Troop 727!
Yesterday I took my new computer to Turk. He will go through it and take
out all the "junk" that is installed on new ones. Then I came home and paid
bills, waded through a bunch of old bank statements and shredded them. Still in
the tossing out mode.....Also yesterday Jake Wardel, my electrician guy, came by
and changed the bulb in the automatic light over the carport. I have a number of
automatic lights around the property .... up at the pump house, on the barn, and
he installed some on the front of the house a couple years back. The porch has
motion lights.
Today I will mow the grass. Mike should be here to weed-eat.
