Many Things To Do
I couldn't say "busy day" because I knew I already had that one. I was tired this morning so I went back to bed. Got up at 10:00 AM and had to get dressed to go to town to go to the bank and the pharmacy. After I got home, I had to feed dad and then go feed the animals and then I left to go to H'ville to meet Trudy and go on the base. We met George at the visitors center and got Trudy's friend, Cay, signed in so she could go on the base and then we went to the commissary. They were having a case sale of veggies, fruit, etc. The cases had $1.00=1.50 off coupons and the prices were pretty good, plus there was no tax charged on the groceries. It took quite a while and after we paid for that the girls wanted to go into the commissary to buy some more stuff. I was tired and hungry and didn't want to buy any more, so George and I sat on a bench and waited for Trudy and Cay. I couldn't go on home because they needed my card to buy the groceries. I bought some red grapes and I snacked on them and kept my energy from sagging too much. Finally, everyone was finished and I could go home. After the drive home, I had to unload the groceries. Whew! I had one busy day.

Blue Thursday
I should have said"grey" day. It's been overcast and raining on and off all day. I got dressed up to go V.T. and got to Sis. Laytham's house only to find that Pauline wasn't coming. Her mother-in-law is very ill and probably won't live. I visited with Jan and Ginger (my visiting teachers) and we are going to count it as a visit to me. I didn't feel like visiting the two other sisters, so I stopped by Radio Shack and got something for Frank to connect to his Ham radio. I guess I was still bothered by Grace's death plus it was such a bum day. I was going to lean on Pauline for strength but she wasn't there. I came home and took a nap. Getting up or waking up at 3:30 AM is the pits.
I put together one card that I had already cut out but didn't try to make any new ones.
Tomorrow Trudy is taking off school to go to Sadie's class day. Then we are going to meet somewhere and go to the base to shop at the commissary. Trudy can get in on my card, but I have to pay for everything. Should be an interesting trip.
Global Warming is a big lie! It's a political Scam! Don't believe it! God is in control of what happens to our planet and I don't think He's asked anyone in Washington for their opinion on what's going on. How prideful to think that man can have any control on what the temperature on earth is going to be. Every ten years or so, someone on the news says that there's been a population explosion and that we're running out of space for all the people and we will run out of food and water and etc. If I were going to make an earth for my children to live on, I'd be sure to make all the things they would need to live there. They wouldn't be running out of anything. Now, I'll dust off my soap box and put it away until next time...(I've been watching too much T.V.).

Very Full Day!
We left home at 9:00 AM and went to the base to get my card up-dated. Frank's never expires because he was in the Navy. Mine is good for 4 yrs. We even got a decal. What it allows me to do, I don't know yet. Trudy wants to go to the commissary Friday. I'm so tired from today, I hate to think of going again! After the base, we went to the Pain Clinic and got dad's prescriptions and then to Dr. Phillips for a visit. We ate at Wendy's, or we ate Wendy's hamburgers in the car and then stopped be GiggaBites on the way home. Then we went by the pharmacy, and then down to the barn to feed Danny Boy and the two cats and finally home! It's taken several hours to relax.
This morning my sister-in-law , Ruth called to tell me my nephew's 5 yr. old daughter died. They were getting ready to drive to Louisville, MS to be with the family. They, my nephew's family, were in the emergency room when she passed away. They took an x-ray and found that her heart was enlarged. Lynn, the mother, has her parents who live near by and lots of other relatives. My nephew, Bill, has his dad, my brother, and sister-in-law, a brother, Jim, and his wife, and a sister Kate. I don't believe I'll be able to make it to the funeral. The funeral was to be Fri., but there's only one funeral home in town and they already had two funerals for Fri., so they are having it Sat. at 10:00 AM. Ruth said I wouldn't get to see my nephew much, with all the family there, and I decided not to go. Maybe I will see Bill and Lynn and Will when they come to see my brother. The two children were named, Will and Grace, and now Grace is gone. What a hole that will leave in that family.

Tired Day
I must have felt too good Monday for exercise class and over did it. I was tired all day today. We didn't go to the base today, it's tomorrow! I can't get the calendar thing straight. Maryleen is going somewhere and I'll be feeding the horse and cats for a week. I'll just feed them once a day so that won't be too bad.
I stamped nine Sassy Susie stamps, colored them and cut them out. Next, I'll find cards to match and decorations to match the Sassy Susie stamp. I don't feel the need to stamp and make cards like I did. It's good to know the materials are there when I want to do it. Trudy is having a Stampin' Up! party this Sat. I'll try to go. I like the water color pencils and blender pens I got. I can use the chalk pastels with the blender pens too. I love to go the parties. Maybe it's because I like to buy!!

Good Monday
I woke up at 4:00 AM but didn't get up until 5:00 AM. There's a good talk show on from 5:00 'til I don't know when. It has such a good spirit about it and then at 6:00 AM the local guy comes on and the nice spirit leaves. The local guy is okay but he's a bit negative, I think.
The exercise class was good. I took an afternoon nap to make up for getting up so early. I made some V.T. appointments for Thursday and need to call one more sister tomorrow and see if we can come visit her.
Tomorrow, dad and I will go to the base to get my or our government cards renewed and after that, he has a Dr. appointment with Dr. Phillips. It will be a long day for him but I know he must like to get out of the house sometimes even though he hurts more afterwards.
Sorry about all the mess in your house, Mary Kate. Poor Cricket. When dogs get old, sometimes they loose control of their faculties. The house should smell better since the rug is gone. Now, you have some hard work ahead of you, doing the painting and the floors. Dad and I have done our share of things like that. Trudy and George will be doing some work on their house soon. It's good to be young!
Recipe for self-rising flour when all you have is all purpose flour. Take 1 cup of all purpose flour and add 1 1/2 teaspoons of baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon of table salt. Some recipes can use self-rising flour if you don't have all purpose flour, just don't add the salt and baking powder. The first time I ever made a loaf of homemade white bread, I used self-rising flour and then added the salt and baking powder! It was a beautiful loaf of bread, but it was too salty to eat!

Our Woods
Our woods used to be all grown up. You couldn't see into them like now. Our neighbors, Bobby and Brenda Adams cleared it out for us. Bobby has a tractor and the knowledge to use it and Brenda used the loppers to clean up the small stuff. The woods look great now. It's nice to have such good neighbors! I think I've got this posting pictures down pat now. Yeah!!!
What?
What is this?!! It is certainly a cry for help! It really needs to be cleaned up, but I don't know if I'm brave enough to tackle it. I could drag all of the small stuff out on the lawn, sort it all, clean up the floor and put it all back in neatly and orderly......Nag-g-g-g-g-g! No, really. I could plan to do it before the weather got too hot. It really needs doing ( see how I'm trying to talk myself into doing it!). I don't know.
