I put on some beans that I soaked last night and when they were threw cooking, I went to town. Frank has a cold and needed some cold medicines. I stopped by Walmart and got some things but they didn't have any Zicam melt in your mouth tablets so I went to K-Mart. K-Mart had them and I got two boxes. That was $24.00. Kind of pricey but everything seem to be nowadays. And if they make the cold go away faster, all the better.
It's in the upper 60's today. I wore a sweater but didn't really need it. Even though it snowed 5-6 times in early February the last two weeks have been quite warm. It has snowed in the middle of April before so no telling what's in store for us. I believe my forsythia has started to bloom and the butter cups are up and blooming. Spring can't be too far behind all of this!
Next week-end I'm riding to Knoxville with Trudy and Mary Kate. Mary Kate is getting some preschool furniture she thought Rachel is going to buy but doesn't want. It will be a fun trip.

Friday, Day of Rest
After not getting into bed until after 12:00 AM, I decided not to go to exercise class today. After breakfast, I went back to bed and didn't get up until 10 AM. It was a bad day for Dad and he slept 'till noon. The Fed X man came to get a package and then lunch was ready. I washed two loads of clothes and have one more to go tomorrow.
Talked with Trudy today. Mary Kate is coming up and getting Trudy and going on up to Knoxville to see Frankie and get some pre-school furniture that she thought Rachel was going to buy. Trudy asked me to go along too and I said I would. It will be fun going to Knoxville with the girls and seeing the other grandchildren.

Had A Visist
Went to exercise this morning and then dropped a package off at the PO for Frank. Then I went to Walmart to get some things that Frank wanted. I came home by way of Tanner Crossroads to see how much time it would take me to get to the place I was going to meet Wanda. I can't spell restrurant and the computer can't either! It took 15 minutes going the back roads. I was to meet Wanda at 12:00 PM and we were going to have lunch and visit. She was 30 minutes late so I went ahead and ordered lunch and then she called me and told me she was on her way. After we ate, we went to where she and Mike live. They have a small trailer at Swan Creek Trailer Park. It is a very nice park that's kept up well. Mike was well enough to go for a walk and we walked around some of the park. We went into the club house and it was very nice. I came home around 3:00PM.
We are supposed to have rough weather tomorrow night with lots of rain and wind. It has been nice so long that I hate the thought of bad weather.
Gas has been $3.09 a gallon for the longest and I noticed today it has gone up to $3.14. The trouble in Libia and Egypt has gotten the gas market rocked and the price per gallon will probably shoot up to $4-5 a gallon. That will hurt a lot of people for the cost of everything will go up also. The price of food and clothing and all the necessities of life will go up. I was hoping things wouldn't get really bad until I was dead and gone!

Tuesday
Took Frank to the skin Dr in Athens today. I knew he didn't have any problems but he wanted to see the Dr, so we went. We stopped by Taco Bell and got three soft taco supremes and ate them at home.
I cooked the veggies I should have cooked yesterday and we had them for supper. I'm thawing out the rest of the taco soup for me to have for tomorrow.
The temps were in the high 60's today and was warm enough to go without a coat. Tomorrow I'm meeting Wanda for lunch at Tanner crossroads, then I'll follow her home to see where she lives now. I haven't seen her in quite a while so it will be fun to see her again.
Frank's putting up shelves in his bathroom. He has a lot of things on the floor and he wants to put everything on the shelves. It's taking him a while since he can't stand up for very long. I'm glad he's still able to do things like that, and so is he.

Monday
I led the exercises today and we had a nice crowd. They are getting ready for the Chili Challenge and the Poke Salet Revival and the auditorium had lots of cardboard in it. It went well.
I went by the pharmacy and then to Karen's for study but her electricity was out so we just visited for a while and I came home and cooked some beans. I should have cooked some veggies this afternoon but I was sleepy. I didn't nap but I didn't cook any veggies either! I guess I'll have to eat canned veggies.

Very Nice Outing
Left home around 2:30 PM Friday to take some things back to Walmart and then go on down to my brother's houses in Faulkville. We were going out to eat at a new Cracker Barrel and then go to a music performance by The Westbound Rangers. I went a little early so I could help Ruth identify some limbs on her Bradford Pear trees that could be pruned so it may help the trees live longer.
The Cracker Barrel is new right at the Hartselle exit. It was full and the noise factor was great! I don't go out to eat often enough to know what to order and ended up with too much food. I had fried catfish and two side dishes. It was good but it was just too much food so I got a take home container. When we left Cracker Barrel, we had an hour to wait so we drove to the school and got a good parking place and sat in the car and talked. Bubba went in early and got our seats. We were in the third row from the stage. It was a small auditorium and it was packed. One of the hometown boys was in the show. The tickets were only $10.00 each and the CD's were only $10.00 also. A great price, I thought.
The Westbound Rangers were four young musicians who met up and formed a group and play a sound "that incorporates the best of Americana, Bluegrass, and Old-Time." They were outstanding musicians and played the music I like. They were very enthusiastic and funny and just entertaining and delightful. They came down from Nashville, TN to play in Hartselle, AL They write a lot of their own songs and sing some old favorites. They played a bass, guitar, mandolin and claw hammer banjo. It was really a treat to see them live. I bought two of their CD's so I can remember their sound.

Ah, Thursday
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays are my slow days. M-W-F I usually go out to exercise and to shop and I get out of the house. Today, I didn't have much energy. Maybe it was because of the H'ville trip the day before, don't know. Dad didn't have any energy either, but we both worked on getting the trash out. He had some boxes to get rid off in the basement and I threw away the 4 bottles of laundry soap that had perfume in them. When Frank called Brenda to say we had a lot of trash, he mentioned the soap and she was interested in it. So when Dage drove over to take out the trash, he drove off with the three black trash bags that had the soap in them! The soap was so old that I hesitated to give it to anyone but I hope Brenda could use it.
We finished reading the New Testament and are reading the Book of Mormon again. When Karen and I finish reading the Pearl of Great Price, we will begin reading the Old Testament. It should be an interesting project. I grew up on the Old Testament and I'll love reading the great stories again. In the 6th grade, the teacher would start our day off by reading an Old Testament story and she probably said a prayer too, I just don't remember that as well.
Tomorrow afternoon, I'm going to Bubba and Ruth's and go eat dinner with them and go to some musical show in Hartselle. I think I'll go down early and show Ruth how to prune her Bradford Pear trees. I don't know if it will be any help, those trees are so prone to split in the middle.
