My what a busy place this has been. 

I went into North Bay today, got a lot of errands done, and have come home tired.  I have a sewing project that I am working on, and the fabric is a stretch denim.  I have encountered a problem with the fabric puckering.   So when I picked up more material I asked if the ladies there had a solution.......Interfacing!!!!  Now why didn't I think of that!

The weather has finally turned.  It has been sunny and warm all day.  No need for coats or for that matter even a sweater.  I overdressed, with a T shirt Sweater and jacket!  One thing about layering, you can peel like an onion.

Got to run have groceries to put away.

Hi, friends, I've been busy taking a friend to various doctor appointments all this week, so I'm thankful it's Friday and none are scheduled for at least the first couple of days next week (except for my own dr. appt. on Tuesday a.m.). 

Y'all have a good rest of the day, friends.

Oh, I slept so much better last night.  I will remember that when I come back May 30 with my classmates.  I will be in the same room also! 

Today is pack up day and one lesson at 9am.  Then we head back home.  One lady came with me, two are going back.  I have prayed for safe travels for all of us. 

It's been a wonderful time.  Last evening we made bracelets for a home for single, homeless women with children. 

It has been a fun time, worshipping the Lord with my sisters.

I'd better post now, as today is a really full one!  I am going to my painting group, then when I get home, will be going to Dodge City with the seniors for another concert--Red, White and True Blue (or something like that.  )  I love patriotic music!

It feels good to have that piece painted and ready to give back to its owner!  Hope she likes it, I think it turned out pretty good.  I will take my camera along so I can get a photo of it, as I forgot to do that before packaging it up and loading the car.  We are to bring things that Carma Lee, a member who passed away recently, painted or taught, but I don't seem to have anything of hers.  They will take photos of those for our club scrapbook.

I wish everyone a peaceful and stress-free day!  Kansas is in for some ferocious weather today, it is supposed to be just east of our area, but they are giving warnings for more than half of the state---long lived tornadoes, hail, heavy rain and winds.  The weather is nuts this year!  Four FEET of hail near Amarillo, where Darrel's sister lives, this week!  Wouldn't that be something to see?  But I sure wouldn't want to be caught out in it!

Blessings to you!

Hi everyone.   Yesterday was sort of a lost day for me.  I was fine in the morning until I went to Walmart.  Only had a few items so didn't get the riding cart (bad mistake).  As I was walking those long spans in Walmart I felt my energy leave and I was exhausted the rest of the day.  I went to bed at 8 pm after having a long nap.  I am feeling better this morning and have just come home from coffee at McDonald's.  Today should be fairly quiet and a nice day.  Stacey seems to doing fine in rehab and was told she will be there for two weeks.  We plan on going down tomorrow morning and eating lunch with her at the facility.  Last evening I lost another tooth so face another root canel and crown. 

Pat, liked your sharing from Facebook.  Thanks for your kind thoughts regarding our family.  God provides for every need.

Etta Sue, good news on Jacob's getting out of ICU.  Sounds like you are having a good time and saving money.

Marilyn, glad you had no concussion from your fall. 

Al, only after my first heart surgery did I lose a lot of weight.  Of course, within a year it was all back.  Glad you are able to have Marbeth's cooking and no the hospital food.

Janet, glad you are getting some orderliness back in your life and it is calming you.  You will get caught up when you are suppose to be. 

Judy, your sewing project sounds like a challenge.  Glad the weather is turning better for you all and hope the storms headed up through the midwest don't eventually get to your area.

Ruth Ann, nice of you to help your friend and must be nice to go to a doctor's office where you aren't the patient.

Today we woke up to clouds, and cold weather.  After yesterday this is dismal.  One thing I know spring will come to the north ....... eventually!

Had a good evening with John last night, and I am looking forward to his holidays.  We have a lot on the agenda, although it is fun working together!

Time for a hymn. 

I made it home safely, but we sure did drive through some wild weather!  A literal downpour of rain, so much that vehicles were pulling to the shoulder of the road and stopping because they couldn't see!  Then, we ran out of it, under blue skies again!  I got home in time to go to the concert, but they had decided not to go, as the LEC (law enforcement center) advised not to drive that way; there are still storms and predicted tornadoes over that way.  Frankly, I was relieved, as I didn't sleep much at all last night and am really feeling tired.  No use going if one is so sleepy you can't enjoy it!  So I am home. 

Thankfully, Janet, you're home safely!

Etta Sue, have a great trip.

I'm looking at a great photo of a Muskrat swimming. Wow!

Well, it's time to rest up for tomorrow.

Y'all have a great rest of this day, and may you be well and able to worship on our Lord's day.

Love to all,
Ruth Ann

Hi everyone.  It is going to be another very warm and sunny day here in Atlanta.  We will not attend church this morning as are heading down to Atlanta to have lunch with Stacey at the rehab center.  She should be about half through with the rehab . We will stop at her apartment first to pick up her mail and take to her.  It looks like it will be a nice day for the trip.  That will be it for today.  I do have the first photos from the Senior Golden Games to work up on the website and will try to get that done today. 

Judy, when you live on a farm or acreage there is always lots to be done.  When does the holiday for John begin?

Janet, glad you made it safely home.  I was watching the Weather Channel a few times yesterday to see where those bad storms were occurring.  I haven't heard this morning what happened yesterday.  Pat's sister lives in Independence, Mo.  and it looked like that area was on the outskirts of the storms.  Hope you got some much needed sleep last night. I don't see how you keep going with so little sleep. 

Ruth Ann, hope you had a restful night as well. 

Well, I got a good night's sleep last night.  Since it was raining when we left Nashville, I decided to come back on State highways but knowing TomTom, I knew I needed to tell it that I wanted to go through certain towns.  So I went to Columbus.  Then I told TomTom to go through Shelbyville...silly TomTom wanted me to go to I-65 to get there instead of right up SR9!!  Then I said Greenfield and TomTom wanted me to go to Indy and then to Greenfield.  So I turned him off since I knew the way to go! 

I got home at 2:15pm.  Everything is put away but the laundry.  Will do that tomorrow! 

Looks to be a sunny day today.  Must leave since I have to be at church early.  We are to sing a song that we learned at retreat!

Jacob got a smaller trach and he tracked his Mom and Dad with his eyes yesterday!!

John's holidays are the last week of April.  We have a lot on the agenda and are hoping to get a lot done.  The time between Thursday and then is taken up with Road Knight work.  He really loves that.

We have a birthday to go to later today, so I won't be back on till tonight.  I will leave the hymn till then.

Oh, my!  Another week as gone by and now it's already time to start on a new one.  HERE
