Out & About

I think my cold is finally gone! I am still coughing up old congestion, but my nose is drying up and my "cement head" sinus pain is gone. Hooray!

I enjoyed an outing with the Red Hat Society today. We indulged at the Olive Garden cafe and it was good to be there with friends. We were the hit of the afternoon, and as usual folks took pictures of us. I wore my red fishing hat with all the shiny baubles. I've had it for years and treasure it... My brother gave it to me. He has a unique sense of humor and gives wonderful gifts! A splendorous nine-foot long hand carved teakwood fish stands upright in our living room thanks to Donnie.

We had a glorious rain this afternoon. All the local lawns and gardens got a good soaking and God washed everything clean in the downpour. I loved it, nut baby Snooks (our bulldog) hated every minute and hid in the bathroom the whole time.

The rain ended just in time for me to leave for Bible study. God is so thoughtful. I had not pulled under the car port so would have gotten soaked running from the house to the car (where my umbrella is) had the rain kept coming down.

Bible study went well except right in the middle of what I think was an important thought, I went fishbrain (for no reason I can think of) and couldn't finish... That is so irritating. Oh well. I am no longer embarrassed about it like I used to be. They'll have to just take me as I am. When I can think, I usually make a good contribution.

It was good to be out and about again.
