I had to see the doctor today. On my way home Heinz rode right past me on his bike, backpack on his back and baseball hat on his head. Looked like he was thoroughly enjoying coming down the hill on a beautiful fall day. He didn't see me as he was involved in changing lanes to head to the post office. I was surprised at his sense of adventure and how comfortable he looked on his bike. I felt happy for him as he looked like a young man enjoying his bike ride out. It gave me the idea of perhaps getting him a helmet for christmas or his birthday. His birthday is in May. That would set him up for next year's bike riding.
Heinz is now in charge of the daily mail check as Gertrude still is not feeling well. Next week she gets results for her tests back. I hope to feel well enough to go with her for the results so that nothing gets lost in the translation between doctor and patient.
She has had some invasive tests and then a fall which still have lasting repurcussions for her and so Heinz has more burdens. I feel bad as I would have visited them again by now, but I am not feeling well myself. So until then phone calls will have to do.
So Heinz went to do the gutters today. He used the plastic gutter liners which I bought in the gutters at the front of the house but at the back, he decided to insert chicken wire and have an experiment to see which ones would work best. Well, we will have to see. Twenty feet of the plastic stuff costs less than five dollars and two of them covered the front of the house and he needed another two for the rear of the house, which he already has, since I bought them. So I'm not sure what the need was for the experiment, but who am I to judge?
