Saturday 05
Dec. 5th, 2009 11:47 pm Saturday 05- I did my stretches, ran a mile, lifted weights, and rode my bike.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 29 and 51 degrees, W-SE winds of 7 to 18 MPH, humidity around 29 percent, partly cloudy skies.
According to the National Weather Service: “Sunday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 53. South southwest wind between 6 and 16 mph, with gusts as high as 23 mph. Sunday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 40. Southwest wind between 18 and 21 mph, with gusts as high as 31 mph.”
I called Stoney up and he told me that Sherry had dropped by to tell him that our friend and neighbor Lee Hines had passed away on Friday evening at 5:45PM. The hospital didn’t disconnect the life support; Lee just went on his own with his Family close by. It’s such a sad day for our little community. I got cleaned up and made my way over for a visit to Lee’s wife Marcie and paid my respects. She was understandably very distraught over Lee’s passing. I told her if there was anything she needed that the community was there to help her. We sat and reminisced for a spell. There will be a memorial potluck held at 1pm next Saturday the 12th to celebrate Lee’s life. I promised to get the word out.
I drove over to Stoney’s and we talked about Lee and how we will miss him and his crazy jokes he’d come up with. Stoney will be going to the memorial along with other folks I later called.
I got back home and went on my evening walk. I called and talked to family and friends during the day. It was cold and windy outside and I decided to watch “The Day After Tomorrow” like I do once a year on cold and windy nights. It helped take my mind off the events of the last few days.
I did my stretches; practiced my guitar; wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
