I substituted for Jan today at exercise. She has been sick all week. It went well. I came home after class and waited on Trudy and the kids to come over. She forgot to put her clothes in the dryer and didn't get here until after lunch. They took all of the books we were donating to the library and also took my stuff for the yard sale. They also got the mattress and the topper. I surely appreciate the fact that they tool all of those things. I'll go over to her house early to help set the yard sale up.
We went to Kids Mart to look for clothes for Frankie's kids, but I was totally confused at all of the mess and decided to go to Walmart to buy some clothes instead. Forrest did find a speaker for his car and his Dad said he could buy it. He was a happy camper. At Walmart, I found a shirt for Josh and a shirt and leggings for Mariam, plus a toy for Mariam.
After Walmart, we stopped at Taco Bell and got some lunch for the gang. Then we came home and finished loading up the van and they left. It was a fun day.

Flu Shot Day
Today was a good day for Frank so we went to Athens pharmacy to get our flu shots. There was no line, which was good and we got the shots.
We collected the trash and went downstairs and weeded out some boxes. We got rid of the huge box my foam mattress came in and a few smaller boxes.
Trudy and the kids are coming over tomorrow to pick up the mattress and some old books that Frank wants to get rid of, but he doesn't want too throw them away. The H'ville library will take the books and sell them. I also want her to go with me to kids world to help me pick out some clothes for Frankie's children. I have to buy two birthday presents for Josh and Mariam and I wanted to see if I could find some clothes for the other two children. It will be a fun day!

Disappearing Post
I wrote a post for Tuesday but it disappeared! We had gotten up early, 4:50 AM to be able to be at the dentist at 7 AM. Dad had an appointment for the first time in years. He really cleans his teeth well at home and they didn't find much junk in his mouth. He needs a few crowns, and the next appointment will be two hours and he'll have 3 crown preps. I don't know what I'll do during that time. I was in the room when he got his teeth cleaned and it was nice to see what all goes on when you get your teeth cleaned! Dr. Knight's son, Dr. Drew, saw Frank. We like him. We got to see Dr. Knight too. He recognized Frank and gave him a hug. Everyone is so nice in that office. It's worth driving the extra miles to go to the dentist there.
after we got back into Athens, we stopped at Hardies and got a sausage biscuit. YUM, was it good!
I got some washing and ironing done when we got back home.
Today, I went to exercise and by the pharmacy and to the bank and to Walmart again. They didn't have any cabbage or cauliflower Monday when I went. Today they had the cabbage but no cauliflower. I got two bunches of broccoli instead, plus a few other items.
I went to Lowe's to get a cleaning system for our laminate floors. I was using vinegar and water, which was fine, but the applicator was from something else and it was too short so I was stooped over when I mopped and I was tired of doing it that way. We have some large boxes coming soon and I still have my yard sale stuff sitting around so I probably won't do the floors until everything is moved out of the upstairs.
Trudy's yard sale will probably be Oct 15th. Mary Kate and the children are coming up that day. If she leaves in the morning, she could just come over to Trudy's and could meet us over there. That would be fun.
I've been concentrating of Josh's birthday which is the 22nd, I believe and have almost forgotten Mariam's birthday is November 1st. I'll have to find out what sizes they wear so I can buy them some clothes plus a toy. I've sent an e-mail to Frankie about Josh's size and now I'll have to send another to get Mariam's size.

No Title Again
Sometimes I just can't think of a title for the blog.
I led the exercises today and everything went well. I went on to the bank and to Walmart for groceries. I only had a few items on my list, but I bought milk and beans and Crisco extra to add to the food storage. I learned that Crisco will last a long time, unopened, I presume, and though I don't use it now, it will come in handy if we ever have to live on our storage.
I don't know what I'll be doing the rest of the day. I need to do some wash so I may do that.

Second Day Conference
Conference was good again today. I surely was tired of sitting but I got over it. I really felt the Spirit during President Monson's last remarks. All the talks will come out in November's copy of the Ensign and we'll get to read them.
I've ordered some things from the store.lds.org. It's so neat to place an order online and pay for it and have it sent to you! I've found a new hobby-ordering stuff online! I got a DVD for Bill and Lynn that talks about eternal families and I ordered 3 copies of the Ensign about temples I will send out. Yep! I've found a new hobby.

Conference Day
The first session of conference began at 11:00 AM and went to 1:00 PM. Afterwards, I got dressed and walked down the road for some exercise. Otherwise, this is going to be a very quiet day.
Dad is trying to fix my internet radio. It plays sometimes and other times it won't. I like to listen to it when I go to sleep at night. It gets the LDS stations and the music is hymn related music. It's nice when it's working.
Ritchie Layton is in the hospital in FL with heart problems. There seems to be a mass on a valve of his heart. This may be his time to go for he has to have dialysis too and with a heart operation on top of everything else it seems risky.
The weather is beautiful with the sun shinning and a nice breeze blowing. Nice fall weather. It should be getting better since it's October now! Just seems like yesterday when the temperatures were in the 100's.

Several Days
Thursday, I went to the temple. Got home at 11:40 PM. Got to sleep after 12:00 so didn't go to exercise today.
We paid the bills this morning and gave the birds a shower. Then, at 1:30 PM, I met Ruth and we went to the Fiddler's convention. I bought a turquoise ring for $16.00 and a dish towel that you can button to the stove door, but there wasn't anything else I could live without! I did buy a bag of Kettle Korn to bring home to Frank. After we had walked around and seen all the vendors, Ruth bought a bag of Kettle Korn and we each had a diet Coke and we sat down and rested. At 4:00 PM, the Ranger In The Sky started playing. They were good, but a little bit of that music goes a long way with me. We left at 4:30 PM and came home. All in all it was a pretty good day.
I had bought some Avon jewelry from Ruth's son's girl friend and Ruth brought it to me. I got two pair of small earrings and a ring to match. The ring was to be a size 8 but it was smaller so now I have my first pinkie ring!
