Active Day

I went to H'ville to meet Trudy and the kids and go shopping at Micheal's and Sam's and Walmart. We ate a hamburger at lunchtime and the kids and I came home while Trudy shopped at Walmart. After we got home Trudy and I divided up the spoils of the trip. She got some of the pages of paper from the paper packs I bought. I have to get back into making cards for I have spent a lot of money lately getting stamps and paper, etc. It'll be good for me and give me something to do with my time.

I've got to change the bird waters while Frank vacuums the floors. They are really bad! I am tired and still have to wash my hair. Life's a blast!

VT Day

Mary Lou and I got out and did our Visiting Teaching today. We were fortunate and got all three of our sisters. Came home, had lunch and took a nap. Tomorrow, I'll meet Trudy and the kids in Huntsville and buy some groceries. We'll also stop at Michael' s for they are having a half price sale!

The weather is cool and rainy.No trees are turning yet. I guess it's because of all the rain we've had plus it may be too early for the leaves to turn.

Trash day Thursday

It's a rainy day and the trash has to be collected and taken out. I take it to the end of the sidewalk and then Bobby Adams takes it to the road for us. What a kindness!

I was going to have to drive over to the Decker's house to get some groceries I left in their van but Stacey brought them by on her way to town.

I must do my knee exercises in a while and maybe do some laundry, maybe! It's really a lazy day. I could also clean the bars of the bird cages. They really need cleaning. All in all, I'm not going to do much this day.

Misc. Day

I look forward to Wednesdays because Karen and I usually do or go out somewhere and it's nice to get out of the house. I called her today and she had forgotten it was Wednesday for she was involved in a project one of her daughters had asked her to do for her. She had to go into town to get some laminating done so she picked me up and we did that and she stopped at Wal-mart for me to do a little shopping and then we came home. She helped me get the groceries in and then sat down and visited for a bit. Frank came in and visited with us and it was a nice visit. I left two sacks of groceries in her van and I'll have to go get them tomorrow.

I want to look at some new paper I got to make cards. I get inspired by the paper. I need to get some more flowers in case I want to make more flower cards. I've given away so many cards that I need to get to making them again to refill my stock. Trudy is glad I'm into card making again so she can have someone to make cards with. She's all fired up about making cards and she is good at it.

Open House

Trudy met me at Hobby Lobby to go with me to the open house at the nursing home and rehab center I stayed in the week following my knee operation. To pass some time, we went into Hobby Lobby and looked around. I sort of want to get back to making cards and Trudy is excited in having someone to do cards with. I bought a book of papers and some stick-ons for the grand kids. I even bought some Halloween paper so I could make the grand kids a card.

The open house was for the new therapy wing of the nursing home. It was in the working while I was there with my right knee and the second time I was in there, it was completed and they were working patients there. I got to see a lot of people that worked with me in therapy and we had some light refreshments. It was a nice visit and I'm glad we went. Trudy had to go with me because I didn't know how to get there by myself. It was a fun day to be together.

After Trudy and I split, I went to Sam's to pick up a few things. I still have to go to Walmart to get the basics. If Walmart carries an item, then Sam's won't. I got a corn beef and put it on to cook as soon as I got home. We had it for supper and it was good. We were meat hungry!

Sunday, Sunday

The Primary program practice went well. Next week will even go better. My leg didn't hurt at all. I had my medicine just in case. I guess the chairs weren't deep enough to bother me. I just got some music that may be played in the program. It has a flute part and the piano melody line is a bit different than in the song book. I'll be practicing this week!

I rested some on the couch and then my Visiting Teachers came-Karen and Stacey Decker- and while they were still here, our Home teachers came! They are Bob Hill and Ken Decker. We had a nice visit and after they left I fixed supper, which consisted of left overs.

Tomorrow Dad sees Dr. Walker at 2:00 PM. That will last all afternoon. I guess Dr appointments are an art and not a science. Some of my Drs get to me pretty quickly and then the others, I have to wait a while.

The weather has been nice lately-in the 80's. Perhaps we will have a nice fall.

Fun Day in Eva

I don't know why I didn't post on Friday. I went to town to take the Salvation Army a load and then I went to this antique store and found an old timey potato masher and bought it for $5.00. I said if I ever found one like it I was going to get it and I did! I went home after that.

Today I went to see my brother in Eva, AL. My nephew, Bill, was down for a visit and I like to go and see him when ever I can because Bill and his sister and brother are the only family I have after my brother. We kid that one day I'll get a call that he has died and than I'll be an only child. Sounds morbid but it isn't. We always kid about serious things. Makes it easier to stomach!

My leg hurt while I was down there and I got a pill. I think that sitting too long makes it hurt. We start practicing the Primary Program tomorrow and I hope sitting on the piano bench won't hurt it. Which reminds me I need to get the music in order.
