Lunch at BHSC

We had Brunch with Walker and family to Celebrate Patsy Smith’s 90 th Birthday. I bought her a card at Hallmarks at Stonefield. I also took one of our family pictures off the wall and gave it to her. It was a picture we took of the family when Joseph graduated. The buffet was splendid. Lots of tasty food and I think everybody ate too much. We ate Solomon, salad and deserts. I ate cake and granola with yogurt. I sat beside Walker. He was a bit distracted. 

Rick is exercising right now but I wanted to work on this blog before I get too busy. 

When I came home a took a short nap and the. Worked on my knitting. I am knitting a baby blanket for Amanda’s baby. Sam gave the sermon this morning. I listened but did not hear. I will ask Rick what he sai. Right after church we went to Jersey Mike’s and. the to the new hardware store in town. I just read about setting goals. Write it down,  are it happen. 

Pilling things together

Tonight we meet David Quinn for dinner. I hope Eliza comes too. David is home from Virginia Tech. He is in his first year studying Engineering. He seems content but we will learn tonight.

Eliza is now on the rowing team. She is doing well at Western. 

Last night Rick and I went to Vavaci for dinner. I brought home left over spaghetti. We talked to the owner. I think he now recognizes when we come in. It is our “go to” restaurant. I am going to make an album for Robert Tucker. His name sake , his other grandfather died. Patsy will come today and we will have brunch tomorrow with Walker’s family and Patsy. She turns ninety so we bought her a card. I bought new shoes and there was a Hallmark store close by. 

Reading the Bible

I am following Tim Kane’s sugesstion and reading, Exodus ,which has forty books. I just read chapter 20  which is the part where God gives the Ten Commandments to Moses. I have not read the complete text before and have lots of questions. I want to investigate more mostly through asking AI since now has become the best way to find knowledge. 

I am also trying to pay more attention to events by putting them on the calendar and looking at my calendar more. Jim McWilliams is outside more. Rick went outside to talk to him. He just came in. I am trying to learn more about this iPad and how to use it. Rick just came in and put on his belt. He said Jim McWilliams is spreading mulch. 

 I am sitting on the orange chair in the kitchen. I am finishing my baby blanket which will be for Amanda’s baby. This is her second child. While we were on our river Ruskin Florida we met an old. College friend of Rick’s Jim. 

Will ask Rick his a e I took a picture. I am having g trouble putting pictures on my blog. 

Catching up on old newspapers

 I have a stack of old newspapers I need to read. This morning I read some but still have others to look at. 

I pursue the papers and decide rich articles I want to read. Sometimes I read the advice column but not often. I wonder what happened to Anne Landers? 

I sit on the sofa and can read, write or watch television. This room is filled with all my creations. I promised myself I will do one painting today. I also want to k it. 

What did I learn on my recent travels? Climate changes everything. In Florida people wear sandals, shorts and bathing suits. In Colorado they wear, boots, sweaters and long pants. In California it depends whether you are north or south. 

I do not want to write about my son Tucker until I learn more. 

What else did I learn: old people like to be with other old people. I liked making the pots we created. They are being glazed right now. The people in Florida are all involved in tourism. 

M River cruise

 We traveled along the coast of Mississippi River and Florida. We had exciting excursions. 

I made pottery which will be sent home.

I sailed with Rick on a schooner.

We visited the home of the DAR in Mobile. We took a bus tour around Pensacola. We went to several lectures by William Wiemoth. I am reading one of his books right now.

We are in the Charlotte Airport.
