SO - SO

My wife and I have had a few day's "home alone" since our daughter went to the
Indy 500. Yesterday we attended the 8:15 service at Broadway & then the 10:30
service at Greenwood (satalite with Broadway). Both services were a blessing to us
as we expected them to be.
Following worship, we ate at Logan's Roadhouse and then watched the 500 on tv
in our nice cool, comfy chairs at home sweet home. What a race! Won in the last
seconds due to a wreck by the leader till then! She napped while I read a few more
pages of The Help.
Today she went shopping while I stayed home. We had planned on going out to
eat at The Olive Garden but ended up eating at Fazoli's instead. It was a good
meal without a crowd to have to deal with. Now we are waiting for Jennifer to
arrive home tonight after a long time being gone.
We meet to eat again Tuesday with our Growth Group as our last get-together
for awhile. It will be pot-luck with the 13 people (couples plus one) bring food
by using a letter from the word GROWTHS. We have G so Green beans will be
what we take although I thought Grits would work well. When we did this the
last time, we were all amazed how how well it worked. I hope we see success
again tomorrow.
I haven't been to Barnes & Noble of late so I need to go Wednesday if I can
do so. Since it has just been the two of us, Barnes & Noble had to be put "on hold"
till I can get back there. Besides, being "Home Alone" was well worth it if I say so
\myself. SO-see, I said SO.

BUSY, BUSY, BUSY

Today I moved some things around in our garage so we can put the fridge
that is in the kitchen in that spot when we get a new fridge for the kitchen.
I moved this and that to put that and this there. After that, there was a
need to clean out our fireplace in an effort to rid of some strong smells. So,
I moved some things outside to clean and fix and then I cleaned inside the
fireplace before bring the outside stuff inside to put back in place. Then I
had to clean up the mess I made cleaning up the fireplace. Got it? I did, I
got hot & dirty and needed a shower so I would smell better than what I
had just cleaned up.
After all my work, I laid down on the bed to watch the last Oprah show
but I feel asleep & missed it. Maybe I can watch a repeat at 9:00 if the
storms don't demand all my attention. I have our emergency bag ready
with some things we might need in case of the storm. I just wonder how
three people & a dog can fit in the same tub with the emergency bag and
two purses & no telling what else. I may just go low in hopes of not going
high.
I doubt I get a good night's sleep tonight while watching the weather.
That's why I took that nap I guess. May the Lord bless & Keep you safe
& sound.

THIS BLOG'S FOR YOU

My older brother told to me to get back to blogging. So, this blog's for you big brother.
I want to thank you for all you mean to me and so many others. I want to thank you
for always taking good care of others. I want to thank you for being willing to go the
2nd mile & more to be there for someone in stress. I want to thank you for showing
such love to Linda & your family. I want to thank you for needed nudges when we
needed to say or do something. I want to thank you for birthday cards to me when
I failed to get you one (I couldn't remember you last name).
This Blog's for you Kenneth. Keep doing what you've always done because it means
so much to me. And, Linda, thanks for all you do too.
By the way, did I tell you thanks & that I love you?
