I had lunch with my friend, Diane today. We went to the Cosmopolitan Restaurant. It is rather new and is very nice. I got the crab cake special and Diane got the egg plant parm. Diane will be moving to her new home in NC on May 3rd. They have not sold their house yet either and it is in a lovely location and has many upgrades. Her bathroom, too is a problem. It has a funny angle to maneuver around to get in. When Diane hurt her leg, she was not able to get her wheelchair in there. She has dropped the price on her house by$35,000 and doesn't want to go any lower. I have two other friends who have not been able to see their houses. Many come and look but no offers and no buyers.
Diane took me to the doctor's office when I had my colonoscopy. She has been a good friend. We will miss each other.
When I got back from lunch, I went to the hardware store. They sent me a birthday gift card so I made a list of things I needed and went over to browse and select my gift. I looked at several things and decided on a pair of manual hedge shears and a pair of leather work gloves. My friend Cathy told me that the manual shears work better when you want to trim down the height of the hedge. The electric trimmers don't have enough guts to cut the branches. They just cut the leaves and thin stems. I tried them out and they work well for shaping the hedge up and I didn't have to drag that cord around with me. I have to repair the cord as I see another cut in it with the copper wire exposed. Pretty soon, I won't have any cord left.
The gloves are made for ladies hands. I have a pair I got at Wal-Mart several years ago. They have holes in the fingers now so they aren't much good.
I was going to cut the grass this afternoon but the weather forecast said there would be severe thunderstorms and hail. I would be starting here any minute. I looked out and saw the dark clouds coming so I didn't want to be caught out in that. Well, the storm passed by to the north of us and there was not a drop of rain. It's supposed to rain from Saturday through next Wednesday. We'll see.
