I sang in the choir today and the second verse of "I Walk in the Garden Alone" was to be sung by the sopranos. Boy was I surprised when I found myself singing a duet. Joan and I were the only sopranos.
I went with my niece and her husbands to his family's for Mother's Day dinner. We were all going to go to a restaurant that has all you can eat crabs but the restaurant sold out of their crabs last night. Ed's sister went and got two bushels of crabs and we had them at her house. They were nice and big and good eating. We all chipped in for them as they were $300.00 a bushel.
Ed's nephew's in-laws were there. They have 10 children. The oldest is 18 and married to Ed's nephew. I kept counting the children I thought belonged to them and I counted 9. I missed one somewhere. The youngest was an infant. Ed's family lives in a big log cabin in the woods outside of Elkton. It is about 20 minutes from where I live in CC.
I stuffed myself with crabs and Ed's mother's strawberry short cake. My hands still smell like crab and I washed them three times.
I brought down some book shelves. Ted made them when we first got married. They are well made with six screws in each shelf, three on each side. There are eight shelves and two bookcases so my wrist is tired from turning the screws. I think I threw away my electric screw driver. They don't seem to last very long. I used a ratchet screw driver which was a help but there were still a lot of screws. The shelves are narrow so I planned to put one in my pantry. I assembled one but there is not enough clearance to get it in assembled. I'll have to assemble half of it and finish it inside the pantry. The other one goes in my walk-in closet in the bedroom. It has enough clearance to get it inside the closet but the ceiling slopes down and I couldn't stand it up. I have to cut about four inches off the one end. I could cut off both ends but the heck with it; no one will see it. I'll deal with that tomorrow.
