Today (Sat.) was the day we met to make cards. There were only three of us and Mary (teacher) was one and Judy was the other one and me. I was glad because a smaller class is always better. We made 5 cards. One was for a regular sized envelop and the other 4 were for invitation envelops. We did some very pretty ones. Mary had all the parts cut out for us so we just assembled them. We had bought 3-4 pages of colored flowers and we used them to put on two of the cards. I think this will be my long time hobby. It's quick gratification for me and can still be a joy for others. The flowers were paper not 3-D.
Dad has been working with his computers trying to get the information and files off of Windows and onto Mac. The store will do it for him, but it would cost a lot and so he wants to try and do it himself.
Mary Kate called from a store wanting Consumer Reports information about washers and dryers. Dad was on both his computers and couldn't look up what they needed, but gave them his pass word so they could look it up themselves. One of their machines is putting black marks on their clothes so they need a new one.
Trudy and George are visiting with some of Georges family. She had a friend from high school call and want her telephone number so he could call her. I don't know if he got her because they were at George's family.
I kept hitting "enter" and the cursor wasn't in the right place and whole paragraphs would shift around. Then I would hit the"backspace" to get everything back in its place! Sometimes I don't know where my mind is when I need it.
I tried calling Frankie but his line was busy. Hope they are all well.

About Me
- Granny's Blog
- I'm a graduate of the University of Alabama,class of '66. I majored in music, piano and organ. I taught private piano lessons in Tuscaloosa for a year and then got a teaching job in Key West, FL. There I met my husband, Frank and four months later we were married. Have lived in Athens, AL since 1976. My children grew up in Athens. My husband is bedridden now so I add the title of care taker to the title of homemaker. I never wanted to work outside the home. I enjoyed gardening until I got breast cancer in 2002. I'm not able to do much garden work now, and I miss it. I enjoy going to the Wellness Ctr. to exercise. I enjoy making greeting cards and usually make a card or two each day. I love getting together with my daughters, Trudy and Mary Kate and my grandchildren. My son, Frank, lives in Knoxville,TN, so I don't see him often. He has 4 children. I enjoy being a grandmother.
