No Bad Weather

We were fortunate. We only got rain, which we need. I think we (Alabama) are still under the amount of rain we're supposed to have be this time of the year. So any amount of rain is welcomed. It's going to rain tonight and dip into the 30's temperature wise. Spring is near!

It's 3:30 PM and the birds are chirping and so is dad! It's about this time of day that he cleans their cages and he sings and they chirp loudly! I went to the Post Office and mailed the packages to the grandkids. My only comment to the older ones is, I would like to play with what I got them myself, so don't complain. The first step is to be thought of!

Dad's agreed to have me go to Sam's for some food storage. I don't think we need too much, but I must replace the fruit I ate. I can live on a restricted diet if I have fruit and sweets! I added another cake mix to the stash downstairs. Trudy, I need the gas card. Texico gas was 5 cents cheaper than Shell today but I didn't have my card. I paid $2.16 per gal. I'm glad we don't have a lot of places we have to go each day. If you do, pay your tithing and a generous fast offering and let the Lord do the rest. Don't worry, be happy!

Bad Weather!

Tonight, after midnight, we're supposed to have great storms! Dad sent me to Wal-Mart for a weather radio that was just for Limestone Co. but they were sold out. I bought some groceries and I thought about each price and the fact that maybe someday there won't be any grocery stores! Bad thought! I'm not going to turn my weather radio on. Maybe dad will. I will have faith that we will be watched over when the storms come.

March Already?

Spring begins March 20th! Can't believe fall and winter are almost over. My favorite seasons are fall and spring. I hope my self-seeding flowers come back again this year. I could plant some perennials in the woods or just as you see into the woods. It would be nice to have a swing back in the trees. I didn't want to go in the woods before it was cleared out for fear of giant mosquitoes eating me alive. Maybe with the brush cleared away, they won't have any place to hide.

Just who is Truwanda and Rumproast? I know who they are individually but who signs "Truwanda and Rumproast? Come on, fess up. It doesn't really matter, I just love comments!

Saturday Is The Day We Get Ready For Sunday

The pasta party and silent auction at the church was okay. I'm glad Karen was there and she was glad I was there too. Bro. Decker's car he had at the dealership getting some minor things fixed ( this was a used car he had had for a few months) died. Dead as a door nail. He ended up getting the same model of car, the same make and year, Said some older man had brought it in for a trade in, I guess. His payments are $260 or something like that.. He got to church as we were leaving. The car looks good on the inside and the outside too. I wish we could find a nice car like that. It won't be long. I didn't know any of the youth they were raising money for. And that means I don't know their parents too.

Yesterday, April Calvert, called me and asked me to join in a fast for Jason. He's talking divorce now. He's so messed up. Only the Lord can intervien. I pray for April to have great strenth to deal with this. I have faith that Jason will come around. Let's all pray for him.

I took the pair of shoes back that I had bought at the Shoe Dept. I think they were too long. I keep trying to get New Balance but the second pair I got is rubbing on my little right toe. I'll take them back Mon. and maybe try another brand. The New Balance shoes I have are still good but I wanted a second pair I would wear out the first pair, but would have another pair to wear.

Another Grey Day -a Friday

Spring isn't too far away. Maybe there'll be sunshine then! There's been grey skies for days now and I'm ready for sunshine. I made some kid birthday cards today and had fun with it. Dad 's day was a prednisone day so he slept all morning and hasn't felt too good this afternoon either. It affects me too. Maybe that's why I don't have any energy. I have money, but no desire to spend! I must be sick!

Tonight I'll be going to the church for a supper. Everyone is to bring a macaroni dish. Karen said she made a big bowl of macaroni and I could have some. That's good since I don't cook anymore and I have no good recipe for macaroni salad (not one that I would make for anyone else to eat!) I think there'll be a silent auction. I've never participated in that and don't know how it will be done. Hopefully it'll be fun to get out and see everyone. Maybe Ann Lobell, the organist, will be there and I can give her the dimensions of the organ I have and want to get rid of.(of which I want to get rid--no dangling participle there, hardy -har -har!)

Dictionaries are Fun

Actually, I'm not using a book dictionary, just my Franklin hand held professor. It's nice. I was looking up the definition of "grey". One can spell it "gray" also so I wondered if it has the same meaning and it does! We are having a grey, gray day. I am in a grey, gray mood. This computer doesn't recognize the spelling of "grey". But the Franklin did! (they're coming to take me away, ha'-ha, hee-ee, ho-ho, to the funny farm where everything is.......and that's where my memory leaves me. hardy har har.

What's a matter with this computer????

I tried to leave a comment on Trudy's blog but it wouldn't accept what I was typing in and just now when I wanted to do this post I had to sign and make like I was creating a blog to get to "new post"!

Karen couldn't come over for our play day yesterday and I didn't have the energy to go to town today so it's really been confining. Friday the youth are having a supper at church, that I wasn't going to, but Karen said she would pick me up and I could be company for her. She and Bro. Decker go in separate cars since he goes from work and after supper he usually goes off to talk with he Spanish speaking people. We will keep each other company. I don't like to go to places by myself so I will get a chance to got out of the house.
