TAPPING FEET

The Gospel Jubilee turned out to be a Blugrass Gospel group who really did "rock" so to speak. Three men from 30 to 60 and one young woman. Well known in the world of Blugrass and really good. For an hour they played banjo, guitar and bass fiddle really loud and livley. I remembered Bryan and his jazz band playing here and little did I know at the time I would be one of the "toe tappers" today. Life is full of surprises. On to the style show by Stienmart today. Stay tuned.

Computer down

My computer has been down so no post in a day or two, Nothing much different here but Bryan and Ashley are still on our mind. Hope they are not being held captive in their apartment too long. What a lot of disasters latley. Sun is shining here today and still hot and dry. I will tell you about the good old fashioned Gospel Jubilee sing that I am going to in a little while. A Fashion Show tomorrow and Hawaiian Luau wednesday. I am wondering what next month will bring. Never a dull moment.

QUESTIONS???????

I went to our coffe club this morning. This sweet and cute little Jewish lady says "I love my beautiful tissue flower. Did you make it? "Yes" I answerd. Next question from someone else. "Why did I not get one" Me--"Tell me your apt. number, I'll get you one" Third lady. "I do not know what you all are talking about but I want one too." Me--You will have one before the day is done" Soooooo my shop is open again. I also delivered two more to some girls I like . Another thing happened to me of enterest. I was walking down the hall and saw this funny lady coming at high speed{as fast as a walker will let you go}She is always laughing. I said I am going to call you "Smiley She gasped and started to laugh "I forgot my dentures" turned and rsn back down the hall laughing her head off. Over her shoulder she laughed "You made my day"

Music and other things

I went and voted this morning. I hope I got it right. Amy and M. G. came to lunch with me today. Mary Grace likes school and I am glad for her. I went to a beautiful piano concert here tonight. We have such good entertainment. I really enjoyed it.

Off to bed.

OUT OF SORTS

I have been feeling a little down for a few days. Know what I mean?
No good reason--just do. I just read a quote from a book. "We are children of God,put here to delight in the world as long as we are privileged to be here" Lord I need your care on good days and the bad, and I trust that you will never leave me alone in the dark. Amen.

Saturday and Sunday

Nothing new, Maybe today will be different. Nothing is wrong with the usual but I did not think you would be interested in the same old thing,

DOWNSIZING

Amy had lunch with me today. She took my music system {taking up too much room} to the Goodwill. I never play tapes or the radiou --just CD's--Sne gave me a small CD player for Mother's Day. I really like it because it is small and plays very good. I went to a concert here last night. Beautiful love songs sung by our Activity director and her assistant. Both have beautiful voices. I enjoyed it very much. A friend gave me a jar of fig perserves. More like they were canned and not much sugar. I had some one ice cream and this morning they perked up my English muffin.
Life is good

STRANGE DAY

It started off with me wondering what would take place today. Something interesting usually does. At Coffee Club my friend who loves to sing--94 years old--and a dear little man--said do you want me to sing to you today. I said yes, by all means. He sang SOMEWHEARE MY LOVE. Every word of it. Everyone was looking and enjoying it. Later when I went for ice cream at three o'clock. I sat down by a jolly lady. She was just eating her lunch and said good, sit down and watch my food-don't let them take the plate as I want to take the rest of my food home. I need to go tee tee. And she did and we had a great visit when she returned. I walked the halls this afternoon. A lot of people do this. I wonder what will tomorrow bring? I am going to watch WHEEL OF FORTUNE- then read some. I am reading a series of romantic, novel about the Amish people. We saw that country on one of our trips. Very interesting.

MONDAY

Mondays are usually busy. Coffee club, exercise class, choir practice and Methodist Church service. I stayed busy. I need something else to do. I get restless and then my emotions take over. I keep looking for what God has in his plan for me. Maybe I will find it soon. Make more flowers? I am about to get tired of that.I early in life realized I have been made for "little" things. I must keep my eyes open and not miss them.

ELLIS REUNION

I wish I could remember which year this is. 80 something. I must look it up. I just know it was different for me. I made it fairly well. I still am amazed at how much people thought of Truman. I totaly am thankful for all the good things that was said about him. I am also thankful that we were so blessed to have shared so much of ours lives together. There will never be another for me. We had such good food and fellowship at the reunion. I am glad I went. Enjoyed Linda and Joseph staying with me. I love them both. Well another week starts. I wonder what is in store for me. I go to the eye /this week. I hope for good news.

FRIDAY {so far}

I went to exercise class this morning. We have a new bike. I think I will like it. I can adjust it better. Me and two other short legged ladies are happy with it. Getty ready for the Ellis reunion. I really do not want to go. It will be sad without Truman. He loved it so and wanted eveyone to come. I don't know what it will be like without him. We will all be fine I know.

WORDS OF WISDOM ST. CATHERINES STYLE

A guy told me there were two laws that were important. The Law of Grafity and The Law of standing in the doorway to have a conversation. Which is the most important? I think the latter .

WAKE UP CALL

Early Saturday morning (6:30) my door knocker loudly brought me running just out of bed. My sweet neighbor down the hall was there saying "I have breakfast ready, come eat with me". I said "dressed this way?" I had on my gown and robe and barefooted. "Yes, me too" I went and the smoke alarm was ringing in her apartment and she had burned the toast. Never mind the mantaince man there to see what was wrong, she padded down the hall to wake another sweet neignbor and brought her to have breakfast. There we sat looking like three Raggeded old dolls enjoying bacon, eggs, toast, muffins. strawberry jam and strawberries and blueberries and coffee as the sun came up. What a thrill and yet a little strange too. Bless her she really gave us a sweet memory. Time marches on and who knows what will happen next? She is 84 but wait a minute---so am I.

STILL HOT

I wish I did not have to get out today. It is so hot but I need gas. I do not use much anymore but I drove home on empty yesterday and it scared me. Truman always said that it does not cost any more to keep gas at half at least. I still have to get help pumping gas. So stupid. Maybe this is the day I will learn.

GOOD AT THIS

Six yesterday and two today. (flowers of course} If I keep this up I will have all of St. Catherines covered with flowers I picked up Ruby today and brought her to visit Irene and me too. She is so undecided as to what to do about downsizing. She ;iked my apartment (I think) but she is so afraid to make a move. It is a big move and change and I understank how she feels. I felt I had no other choice and I am soooooo happy with my choice.

WHO DID THAT?

There is buzz in the hall. I heard someone say "Did you get a tissue flower?" O me now when it gets out that I did it, some may say "Why did you not give me one?" I will have to make more. Can not stay out of trouble when I am trying to do it right.
Went to church and to lunch with Amy and Sophie. We ate brunch at Julep's in Highland Village. Was nice. Jan came to visit and all in all it was a good day.
