A Day of Shopping

We left for H'ville at 9 AM and headed for Sam's of look for some shelves for downstairs. They didn't have any but Costco's will have some shelves like we like on sale on a couple of weeks.

Trudy met us at Shoe Carnival. I had to take back a pair of shoes I got for Frank and he didn't like. Mary Kate bought Sophia a pair of boots. We made a quick pass in Michael's but didn't buy anything. Next we went to the Mall so I could check the sleep number beds.

I got to find my sleep number and decided on what kind of topping I liked and got a price on a twin bed. I have a few days to get it at the sale price. I really want it and feel it would help me with my back. They would bring it and set it up and take away my old bed. I can have 30 days to try it out to see if I like it.

We went to Kohl's to check out some sales. Mary Kate bought the children a wrap since it has turned cold here. And it will be cold at church too.

Family Coming

I made the chicken rotini and baked the chocolate cake and frosted it while talking on the phone to Trudy. I washed a load of clothes, filled my pill bottles and now am taking a rest! Oh, I vacuumed the floors also. I like to be busy and want to do the work. It's bad to have lots of things to do and not want to do anything.

Frank has felt bad all day. He's doing the birds now and singing (caterwauling). It helps him bear the pain.

Obama got the Nobel Peace Award today. It makes me sick. He is such a fraud. He makes me sick. We don't watch the news anymore. We enjoy re-runs of Cops! Can't watch much of that channel for it is far to crude to watch.

April Came

April came over to look at the organ and she likes it. I've had fun playing around with it and playing hymns. She said she could get her dad and perhaps the missionaries to come over to help. There is a lot of "stuff" that has to be moved on order to get the organ out the back door. We hope to buy some metal shelves to put in the organ's place. Maybe we can get things organized then.

I didn't go anywhere today. After I met with April, I washed my bedspread and then the one that was on the downstairs bed. I'll wash some more tomorrow. I need to make the rotini and bake the cake. Since Richard isn't coming, I won't worry about the meals.

I made several cards today. I can't stop using flowers as decorations. I'm getting quite a few cards ahead now and I'm glad.

Work Day #2

I went to Walmart to buy some new sheets for the guest room bed. All I had were left overs from when the children were at home and they didn't look so good and I wanted to have the room looking good for when Mary Kate and her family come this week-end.

The choice of colors wasn't too good and I ended up with medium blue sheets. When I was putting them on the bed I realized that the sheets were of two different colors-both blue but one a tad darker than the other! Oh, well. The bed is made up and a new bedspread on it. I cleaned the bathroom and swept the floors. I will still have some washing to do tomorrow. My bedspread and the one I took off downstairs need washing.

I bought a frozen lasagna for the week-end and I can make my chicken and rotini dish and I have a chocolate cake to bake and we can always go to the grocery store for more. I look forward to the visit.

I'm interested in getting a Sleep Number bed and I'll get Mary Kate to go to H'ville with me. Maybe Richard will want to go too. There's lots to find out about those beds and I don't know much right now.

No Trip Today

I was dressed and ready to go but the temple trip was canceled. Karen had e-mailed me at 11:45 PM telling me about it but I don't usually get on the computer until the evening so I missed the message.

I made some pretty cards today. I need to get into my storage closet where I keep my flowers and see if I have any small, green leaves. I had some small pansies I put on a card and put three small green leaves with the pansies and all of this was on a pale green card and I stamped a message on it and it turned out pretty good. I made a card with a bunch of different colored smiley faces on it. I penned "ha-ha-ha, hee-hee-hee and ho-ho-ho!" on the card. I'll send it to one of the grandchildren.

Banking and Grocery Shoping

I went to Walmart to get a few things on my list but since it didn't contain any food I strolled around and put food in my basket. I bought a new thermometer, one that you slide over the forehead to get the temperature. It cost $34.00. I was amazed at the cost of everything I bought! I didn't buy any make up or clothes and everything cost over $200.00! I have to leave some money for this week-end when Mary Kate and her family come.

I made about 3-4 cards today. I think they look good. I'll have to wait until Trudy and Mary Kate see them and tell me what they think.

Conference Continued

I woke up at 3:00 AM and couldn't go back to sleep so I got on the computer and looked up high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Not for me for I take medicine for my cholesterol and I have low blood pressure. It was for Frank. He thinks the high blood pressure medicine he was trying brought on the fevers he had last week. He's now breaking out in fever blisters in his nose, mouth and lips. His disease is not a nice one to have. He has a form of juvenile arthritis and he runs high fevers when his dose of predsone becomes upset. Then he gets the fever blisters.

Conference has been good, it's just hard to sit for two hours. Being at home watching it on TV, one has the advantage of being able to get up and go to the kitchen and bathroom and not miss much.
It's almost 3 PM and the last secession is about to start so I'll stop.
