Coffee with Jo

Yesterday evening was book club night at Alisson's. But, I
was the only one who came. We discussed the book for a
while. We both liked it. The book is "Thirteen Moons" by
Charles Frazier.

This morning I went to town to have coffee with Jo at 9 AM.
We went to Saxy Cafe instead of the Bookends. It was less
busy and quieter. We talked for 2 hours about all sorts of
things. It was fun. We walked back to her place with a
brief stop at the book store. I wanted to get the next book
club selection, but they were all out. I'll get it from
Amazon.

After I left Jo, I went to the Post Office to mail some
audio books to Elske, dropped some stuff at GoodWill and
went on to Kings and the Liquor store. I picked up a
sandwich as well as groceries at Kings.

Finally, went to Carnegie arriving at 12:45 PM. I had my
lunch and talked with Marti then she showed me the ropes
with regard to scanning glass plate slides. I didn't scan
very many because they all needed work with Photoshop.
There were a couple of really nice ones of Salina.

I got home about 4 PM, and did some dinner preparations.
Bob Gray and Robert were cutting down a tree that has been
shading the solar panels. They came in about 5:30 so I
finished putting dinner together and we sat down to eat at
6 PM. I served spaghetti, hard rolls and salad. Bob
brought his famous cake which we had for dessert.

After supper he showed us his canoe trip route in the
Boundary Waters of Minnesota as well as some pictures of the
trip, too. It was a hard trip because the route was longer
than their allotted time and it rained three out of the four
days. I would gather Mary was pretty miserable much of the
time and it has put a strain on their relationship.

I just now went to clean up the kitchen while Bob and Robert
are doing something on the computer and I discovered we have
no water pressure. Robert said that the pressure pump had
been cycling too often this afternoon. He had noticed that
from the graph of electrical use. We apparently have a
leak somewhere. Great!
