Round (Tuesday's Message)

Hi,
We had a beautiful day here today. It got warm, but not unbearable. I went out this morning, just as the morning haze burned off and it felt great. I had to go back to the shop where I got my tires for an alignment check. While they corrected things I just sat and watched the variety of travelers on the access road next to the super highway.
Several of you got the song real quick. Maybe this line from the end of the chorus will spark your memory. I can only hope. (Ha)
"God bless you please, __ __, heaven holds a place for those who pray (Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey)." Clues: You get no more.
Yesterday Boot brought a bunch of boxes down from the attic so we could start packing. They're still sitting there. Lisa and Boot have been a little under the weather the last couple of days. We're hoping it passes by tomorrow. Meanwhile, I guess I'd better get busy.
This afternoon we all went over to The Place. More trees in the ground and the glass was installed on the front and rear entryways.
Now it looks more like a house. We had to send back some plants that weren't what we wanted, and thankfully they hadn't been planted. Mon (the curtain lady) was busy upstairs installing the shades in Lisa's studio. Lisa is very pleased with the way they turned out. Out in back, workers were checking the grade of the rear deck, filling in low spots and making sure it was all smooth in preparation for the terrazzo. That a finish that's made up of tiny little pebbles. The waterfall is really taking shape now, and we're beginning to understand the concept.
We've been watching a lot of the football (soccer) playoffs, which have been pretty cool since it's the most televised sport here. There's also a lot of badminton which is fun to watch. It looks like a lot of the Olympics will be shown while we're in the U.S. so we'll be able to watch. We still don't have a clue as to how they will be broadcast here in LOS. I'm sure there will be something. It would be interesting to see the coverage from a different perspective. We used to watch the games on the Canadian network back in the 'old days' when we had a big dish and could receive 'wild feeds'. Hmm, those were the days.
Well, that's all for now, have a Beautiful Day.

Peace,
Danny
