Conference Saturday

I love to go back to bed after breakfast and listen to the radio and snooze some more but I got up at 8:00 AM because I had gone to bed late so I was in bed when Conference come on TV. After listening to President Monson's talk, I realized I should get up and get dressed and get serious about listening to the speakers. So I did. Later, Frank got up and we watched it together.

Got a temple trip planned for Tuesday. I'll get picked up at 3:45 PM and I guess we'll make it to the 6 PM session. Brother Geer has been having some health problems lately and hasn't taken the van, I believe.

We have ordered some samples of some freeze dried food to see how it tastes. With the economy the way it is, and all the advertising about buying gold, I don't know how long our currency is going to be good. I want to invest it in something that will last and be for our benefit.

Fiddler's Convention

I met Bubba and Ruth at 2:00 PM and we went in their car and found a place to park for $5.00. We, Ruth and I, walked around and looked at the booths and she found a lady who could set her piece of amber in a necklace setting. We both bought a pair of earrings for $7.00. At 4:00 PM, a group of bluegrass musicians played and we sat and listened. I guess I've gotten too old for country music, for I didn't really enjoy it. I could have gone to dinner with Bubba and Ruth but Frank hasn't been feeling well and I came on home and fixed us supper and we watched Cop's and then read from the Book of Mormon. I'm really enjoying this reading time we have together. We usually get the birds out a while before we read and that is enjoyable too.

Tomorrow is General Conference. At first, I thought I would miss some of Conference by going to the Fiddler's Convention, but Conference doesn't start until Saturday morning. I'm going to take notes this time and see if I can remember more of the messages.

Didn't Wear Make-up

Since I wasn't going out today I just powdered my nose and put on my eyebrows. Don't remember what I did but make cards. Trudy's sending a pattern over sometime that I can put together and then use the pattern and make my own cards.

Dad had fevers last night so he didn't feel too good today. He thinks it might be the new medicine he is taking for his high blood pressure. He needs the blood pressure medicine but if he can't take it, I don't know.

Tomorrow's the Fiddler's Convention. It's supposed to rain tomorrow but the clouds are to break in the afternoon and then rain again after midnight. Maybe we can get some fiddle time in there somewhere!

To Huntsville I Did Go

I was up early and out of the house before 9:00 AM. I had to stop by the P.O. to take a package by and then had to take Frank's shoes by the shoe shop to get repaired. Then it was on the H'ville to see Dr. Sharp. After Dr. Sharp, I went by the Pain Clinic and then to the AT&T store because our phone wasn't working right and then on to Hobby Lobby. Not much was on sale and I didn't have a coupon but I did manage to gather some stuff into my basket! I've made quite a few cards and now have to get some different paper, from my stash, to inspire me some more. I can't wait until I'm over flowing with cards!

Heard from Ruth today about the Fiddler's Convention this Friday. It may rain then so then we couldn't go. Maybe we can see some of it before it pours.

Slow Tuesday

I was already to go back to bed after breakfast and listen too the radio when Richard Mason, a neighbor down the road, called to see if we would like some deer meat. He cleans out his freezer getting ready for the new hunting season and gives us what's left. Frank talked to him and he said he would bring it up for us. I got dressed then and he brought the meat up about 12:00 PM. I did make some cards while I waited for the meat.

The cards are rather plain. The card paper was so lovely that I just put a flower on some of them and stamped on the inside. I made 7 cards today. I had to quit for I was getting shaky. I get inspired by pretty paper the most.

I need to order some things from a catalog and since I'm not used to ordering over the phone and it makes me nervous and I keep putting it off. Maybe Frank will help me when he gets to feeling better.

Monday, the Ordinary

I got up at 7:00 AM to get ready for my 8:30 exercise class. It was the first time I had been back since my operation and it was good to get back. After exercise, I was going to take Dad's shoes by the cobbler but they weren't open at 9:30 AM so I came home. I had gone off with out my purse so didn't have my driver's license. I was anxious to get home.

I cooked some beans and a cabbage for supper and had a few pieces of corned beef left and we had a good dinner. I made some cards. I've got to make some for the grandchildren and I want Frank to make copies of a picture of us to send to the g-children.

Had to go make myself a note to make an appointment with Dr. Moore to see about my knee. He hasn't seen me since the hospital stay. I think I need some PT at the Wellness Center. Maybe not a whole month of it but maybe about 6 visits, if that will be enough. I need to call Dr. Walker to see if he'll prescribe some medicated shampoo for me without having to see me.

Sunday, the Happy

The Primary program was a success! The children sang out and they knew their parts and everything went smoothly. Sis Shelby was released and Karen was called and she kept Jennifer Shirts as a counselor and Sis Gorton and her other counselor. No music people were called but their names were approved. Karen is having two music people because it's too much for one person to do. I don't care as long as they give me a schedule with all the numbers on it!

We had a good Sabbath day. We didn't watch any TV except the BYU channel. I made three or four cards and enjoyed that. Soon I'll have some cards that I can send to my friend, Kathy. Trudy is making Christmas cards as presents, I think. She can really make good cards.

Sandy Sommerfeld called tonight. She is at her son's house in Huntsville with her daughter and grandson. She wants me to drive up there and get them and then we would go to Charlotte Cooper's horse farm. I don't want to do that. I would feel better if they came here and then I drove to Charlotte's.
