SUNDAY

I can't believe how time is passing. Not much going on that needs to be told. Spring is trying to come. But if it goes as usual, we will go fast to summer. Flowers and trees are budding fast and it is a beautiful time of year.Church and lunch with Amy and M. G. Those faitful two are a joy to me. I am "fish sitting" for a friend. It is a male Betta also. Peminto tried to fight but Pipper is too old to care I guess. Their bowls are side by side and my fish makes a run at Piper once in a while but has made friends now. So all is O. K. in fish land. Aren't you glad to hear that? I guess I need a day job.

WEDNESDAY

Busy day. Exercise class then coffee club(always interesting) Amy went with me to have my car serviced,(first time) Only 1600 miles-it hardley needed it. I told the laughing young man that a little old lady mostley drove it to Wal-Wart. I need to get it on the road. Does anyone care to "DRIVE MISS DOTTIE"? We met M. G. and had lunch at SOULSHINE PIZZA FACTORY. I had a Nathan hot dog--what a treat!!. Amy and I took spring flowers to Truman. They look so pretty and I am glad we chose such a pretty and restful place for him. Of course I picture him "skipping" across heaven every day. It has been almost a year since he left this earth for a better place. All in all it was a good day, busy anyway. Thank you Amy and Mary Grace for being so thoughtful.

SUNDAY

Sunday was good for the first time lately. We sang SHALL WE GATHER AT THE RIVER the song we sang at Truman's funerel. A little upseting. I had a sugar drop in church-sent me scrambling for some sugar, but I made it. Lunch at Mr. Chen's--I like it there. Ate with Amy Sophie and "boyfriend". Made bean soup this afternoon and pumpkin bread to Take to coffee Monday. Watched the "Oscar" awards--so I had a full day. Thank you Lord for work to do and strength to do it.

SARURDAY(already?)

I decided to have pancakes in the Cyber. I have not done this of late. I took blueberries with me. My I had a good brerakast. Don't do this very often. Ate with a delightful lady. Her sister lives next door to Amy. She walks the lake edge every day and drinks three (3) gallons of milk a week.!!!!Her secret is out. I drink milk but not that much. Oh she has never been married. What does that say.? I will take married bliss any day. How about you Ashley?

FAT TUESDAY

Boy these people never miss a beat to celebrate The Brass Band from Madison Central really tore us up. Terry Miller is the banks director. I think he was there when Bryan was in the band. He told me he remembered Bryan. Only thing I could not understand---they had three drummers and they kept a;ternating. I decided they were trying to find a (Bryan) replacement. Never will they find one. They did not even end with a drum solo. Not the same. Good, but not the same. I guess that is the way with most things---you just can not go back.

SATURDAY

Rain all day--enough already. Jan came and we had lunch in the Cyber Cafe. Cesar salad with great grilled shrimp. So good. Another wonderful thing happened today. At least I hope it is. I got an offer on the house. First real movement so far and it has been almost a year. It is not what I want but the house is just sitting there and going down. I need to get out from under the pressure too. After talking to everyone I am going to take the offer and hope they will buy. I have very mixed feelings. Truman and I loved living there and we had many good and sad memories. But life does go on and I believe this is the thing to do. Keep me in your prayers for that is my salvation.

MARDI GRAS

I hear it was great--I did not go. At the last minute I just could not go without my mate. I know-most ladies who live here do not have one either. It is just too new to me and I let it go for now. Amy came and we had our favorite blackened cat fish and it was good. Could not make it without her and Jan and Mary Grace. Hey I am o.k. Let us see what today(Saturday ) will bring. Always something different.
