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.

Not Much To Do

It's been raining profoundly all day. Our yard has little riverlets and large ponds in it. I can always tell how much rain has fallen by how full the bird bath is. It is full to overflowing! Only long legged bird can bathe in it right now.

I vacuumed the floors. Saturday has become the vacuuming day. I was gone a lot last week and didn't have time to sweep the floors like I usually do. I need to wash a load of clothes but I don't want to. Shelley Merrill says to wash a load and burn a load and you will get through sooner. I don't have a load to burn today.

The Primary program is tomorrow and I'm glad when it's over. Sis. Shelby is going to be released as Primary president for she has to move out of town and Karen Decker has been called to be the new president. Who will she get to do the music? She was so good that not just anyone can fill her shoes. Maybe she'll keep the old councilors. The were good too.

I made 4 cards today. They were sympathy cards and I used some things Trudy gave me. It's good too back making cards.

Hair Cut Day

I called for an appointment to get my hair cut today and was told that my hair dresser didn't work there anymore! Another girl did it and it was too short but it was even and she did a good job. I'll probably stick with her and try to train her to cut it the was I like it. It will always grow.

Next I stopped by Merle Norman to get come face cream and then I went to Walmart. I spent under $100.00 and got everything on my list except some First Aid paper tape.

I came home and rested and read a book Sandy Sommerfeld gave me and got tired and took a little nap that lasted all afternoon! Am I slothful...you bet!

Card Day #2

I went to Trudy's today to make cards. I made several cards using the same method and then we had lunch. I was tired and didn't want to make any more cards. The next time we meet to make cards we will know what to do. It was a very fun day. I got home before 3:00 PM.

I put all of my card stuff away and helped Dad get the garbage out. I'm ready for a rest now.

Later...it's after supper, the birds are put away for the night and I am going to look at some cards and then get ready for bed. It's been a great day!
