Notes - RIP, Bob A. good neighbor to all /



       Later morning. Dan is upstairs staining the railing and he will be painting the ceiling today. You were thinking of postponing painting the smaller bedroom but have decided to have Dan do it now along with that ceiling if he has the time. Next will be to replace the carpets in both the master and that bedroom. Beyond that, buying new insulated decorator blinds for the downstairs and from there you will take the time to think more about it. - Amorella

       1035 hours. About an hour ago we picked the color, a worm off white, for the master and might as well use it in the smaller bedroom too. The two rooms are at the opposite ends of the house and already share the same off white carpet, so that makes it easy. We are happy this is getting done.

       Dan finished the staining which you claimed "Awesome". It matches. Carol likes it too. In April Dan is going to try to do the little bedroom.

       Afternoon. You stopped at Panera/Chipotle for lunch, then to Target at VOA for three powerstrips for sixty-one dollars; on to Walmart it check out their powerstrips -- bought for thirty-one dollars and you will take Target's back. Presently at Kroger's for one turkey burger to split for supper. Then to Graeter's and Target for the return the three powerstrips. - Amorella

       1647 hours. Unbelievable. Half the price for the bloody same thing. In fact the ones at Walmart (GE) had four foot cords while the Target's had three.

       Once home to drop off the turkey burger you saw Tim who said Bob Austerman (next door to them) died Saturday. He was in his late eighties. Everyone feels bad. He has been a great neighbor since 1992 and was head of the Homeowners Association until just a few years ago. He made sure we got a traffic light at Mason-Montgomery Road when it was expanded to four lanes. He always power shoveled our driveway and four others nearby. Never took money, but we all chipped in to help support him at his favorite sport, golf, at his favorite nearby course. It's too bad. However, like I said to Tim, once you reach that age it is never really (in the long run) going to get better. He was a good man the entire time we in the neighborhood knew him. May he rest in peace. - rho
