Big Day doing Errands

Yesterday was kind of a day off also, though I still had to go out and feed the horses. Leroy was waiting for Carl Strange to come out and hook up his new dishwasher, so he didn't need me to drive him around or anything. Today, Leroy kind of made up for it. After feeding the horses and cats and dogs, we left Leroy's house around 10:00 a.m. and went to Normie's to get my gate opener and some coffee. Then it was off to Howards office to talk to him about some stuff. I think it has to do with the horses and studifying them. Anyway Howard was on the phone most of the time so we talked to Cheryl about making more pie. Howard said that the three horses lifted the fence and walked through to the far field. They went through the giant hole in the fence. Thunder didn't go through because he is a scardy cat when it comes to wire and stuff. Thats how they got out there with the gate closed...no one let them through as it turned out. After Howards we came over to the Dickson Street place so that Leroy could talk to his minions and fool around in his office for an hour or so. Leroy walked all over the place and was getting in and out of his truck pretty well. We went to the Neighborhood Market and he walked all over that store getting stuff. Finally, we drove back to Blackoak and put the truck in the barn so the hail wouldn't get it. We're supposed to have severe weather tonight so he didn't want to take any chances. I'll bet Leroy walked at least half a mile today, all in all. He seems to be getting his balance back, and his stamina is improving by leaps and bounds. He may be perfectly well by next week sometime, not entirely well, but well enough to get back to his old life. We hope it doesn't include taking a dive off of any more bridges. I have to go again in the morning and feed the horses and everything, but it may not be too much longer till he can do it himself again.
