I continue to pour the antibiotics down. It seems I take two steps forward. Once back. Slow, slow progress.

My farm help Bill and I have been scrappin'. Old trucks, sled parts, old cotton strippers. It has been a productive week, but lots of wind and dust.

And that hasn't helped my sinuses, cold etc.......!

We moved to Hawley today to work on some projects we have had up there. I am hopeful we can get done there tomorrow. We have miles to go before we are finished.

It has been a crazy scrap iron market. Abilene is 180/tn for short iron. Sweetwater is 240/tn
Aluminum is weak, while copper is strong. Dirty aluminum, old cars and such are really volatile.

We made a deal for three old cotton strippers for long iron Sweetwater price. $200/tn.

Right now we are hoarding aluminum and trying like the mischief to get the strippers to the scrap yard.

I'm not going out with the group tonight. I still just don't feel up to it. I am hopeful another week or two off will help me get well.

Memama continues to do well. On Monday I called to tell her I had two friends at the farm shop looking at some stuff and I would feed them at the Lumber Yard of somewhere else. She adamantly told me, "You will not!" When we arrived for lunch we had chicken fried steak, mashed taters, corn, green beans, gravy and hot rolls. There ended up eight of us for lunch! Memama told me that cooking is what she enjoys and is good at!

Amen!

Pat and Hag are in Lubbock tonight. He has a checkup tomorrow with Dr. Mark.

I guess we are getting a pretty good support package in place. I had called Memama earlier to tell her I was working in Hawley and pat went to check on her before leaving. Pat also called and asked Lindsay and Jake and their babies to check on her. I would also suspect Christy and Dakota might stop in before dark!

If scuttlebutt is correct, Bub began his trek home today from Florida.

The greater metropolitan Roscoe area received between 5 and 7 tenths of an inch of rain last Friday. While we are thankful for the rain blessing we continue to ask for more!

I am going to take me a long soaker of a bath. Get a little something to eat, and point my toes up early tonight!

Hope you had a day because we have another one tomorrow!

Bless us OH LORD and expand our boundaries!
