Monday

Yay - a nice day in the 'hood!  It actually got clear up to 67 today!  Tonight, however, they're calling for a possible mix of rain and snow - boo!  Hopefully that won't happen!

Today I ran some errands after Bible Reading Time - went to have my glasses adjusted, went to the chiropractor, went to The Photo Shop to have my Nikon cleaned.  I guess I made a pretty good deal on my Nikon.  Keith at the Photo Shop said he'd ask 450 to 500 for my camera if he had it at the shop.  I paid $100 - yay!

This evening, Juliene and I held a stamping class.  We had 9 participants and made 3 cards.  It was fun - a good group.  We even got home early so I got to watch most of DWTS.  I'm not really into this season of DWTS - there's no one that I'm crazy about.  Kelly Pickler's pretty good and so is Zendaya, but that's about it.  The guys are duds except for Jacoby and I don't think he can win it.  So if I miss a week, it's no big deal...not like past seasons!

Tomorrow I've got a dentist appointment.  Yuck!

Beautiful Day

Finally, a warm day here in O-town.  It was in the 60s with plenty of sunshine.  The wind, however, made it seem colder than it was.  Tonight it's still 60 outside with no wind...so it's lovely out now.

Church this morning was great.  We had some new people in church and David preached on Micah 2:1-10 about how to listen.  It's so good to be back in our church!  I've really missed it and the people!

After church, we went to 2nd Street Cafe for lunch and then home.  Dave & I put up the hummingbird feeder because some friends of mine from St Louis said their hummers are back.  I figure it can't be long until they get this far north!  Dave also took a nap while I either worked on cards, read, or watched the NASCAR race.  This afternoon Dave suggested we go to the theater to see "42", the movie about Jackie Robinson.  It was a really good movie..  I had a very hard time with the prejudice and the ignorance of the time, but Jackie was a class act!  PS - the popcorn was great, too!

Tomorrow's a busy day!  I've still got a little to do to get ready for tomorrow night's card class.  Bible Reading Time in the morning and some paperwork to do in the afternoon.

Fun day.  More later...

Sunny Day

It was really cold this morning - chill factor 23!  However, it was sunny so when I went to church at 10:00, I wore shorts!  There's a drive up bank behind our church and those people thought I was nuts when I went into the back door of church.  It was hot in the church so I was fine.  Dave took advantage of the sun this afternoon and mowed the yard.  I figured he'd sink in up to the hubs of the mower, but he said he didn't even leave any marks!  We had over 6" of rain in 2 days with lots of flooding - even the river was out!  But evidently we were dry enough that the water just soaked right in!

Today I worked on cards for our card class on Monday night.  I just am having a terrible time finding my creativity!  I guess six months is too long to be idle!

COLD!!

Today was a bitter, cold day!  The wind was blowing 25 mph from the NNW and the temps only got up to about 45.  I had a PEO meeting, so I had to leave the house...and I had to wear long pants!  I still wore my sandals, though - it wasn't THAT cold!  We had a good meeting - 23 in attendance and I think I got hugs from all but 2 of the 23 attending!

Tonight Dave and I watched the capture of the Boston Bomber.  What a fascinating display of teamwork.  Thank goodness that guy went outside and looked at his boat, for more reasons than one.  I'm glad they were able to capture this guy alive.  Hopefully his parents will get to talk to him and stop living in denial.  I felt bad for them because I'm sure they were watching all of this unfold, too.  I was also proud of the Watertown people who applauded the various police units as they left the scene.

Tomorrow I've got to work on cards.  I at least have my two cards planned out.  Now I've got to get everything cut!  I guess I'll be busy!

Rainy Day

Today was a rainy, drippy day.  I went to church and helped work the rummage sale.  We had a line outside waiting to get in when we opened.  It was just a few minutes after that that the rain started again.  By the time I left around noon it was pouring.  I went to the Lucky Rooster and got myself a sandwich.  When I came out I got soaked walking to my car!  No thunder today, just rain and drizzle.

Wednesday

I got up this morning to heavy, heavy rain!  It rained ALL DAY...and it's still raining tonight..  Our yard looks  like a lake!  This would have been a great day to just sleep.  It thundered every few minutes, but it wasn't loud - it was very soothing.  Plus, it was dark all day.  At one time, I was afraid we were having a tornado or something because it was black out.  It hailed about 3 times...mostly just pea-sized hail, but it was hail nonetheless.

I've been pondering today.  I have a hard time believing that our Congress couldn't pass a gun law.  The NRA is just too powerful.  How many more people have to die before something is done about guns that can fire many rounds before you have to reload.  It's a shame.

I rescheduled my appointment in Iowa City.  I didn't want to drive in the heavy rain.

I'm COLD!!!

Today was a gray, damp day and I'm cold.  I even wore long pants today and I'm STILL cold!  It was 91 in Largo today and I'm missing that kind of weather.  It would have been fun to be in the pool with the sun shining down.

I finally got my desk cleaned off today.  I also got everything shredded and/or recycled.  Tomorrow I will tackle the filing - yuck!  I've also got to go to Iowa City to see my neurologist.

I had a massage tonight and it might have been the best one I've ever had.  I think I'll really be sore tomorrow!  Gerrii had some wonderful pan flute music on and it was mesmerizing.  Easy to relax to that kind of music!
