Orange mums. One of the mums I bought in October. I only have a few yellow ones left blooming. The others are done.'
I went to the Verizon store this morning. My new tablet could not connect to the internet. I thought maybe it needed to be charged so I charged it and it still wouldn't work. Three people in the store fiddled with it and then they tried a new SIm or Sym chip. That cured the problem. The tablet has a lot of features I had on my Palm. I just need to load all my information in it.
When I got back, I went to the church and the secretary ran my labels through the copy machine as my desktop is down and I can't print my Christmas card labels. I have over 100 cards on my list so writing all the addresses by hand would be time consuming. Also, the labels are my list. I had a copy of the labels printed onto plain paper to use as my list. Luckily, I still had it and was able to take the label paper and my list and run them through the copy machine.
When I got done that, I helped the ladies decorate the church.
I came home and had some lunch. I did a couple loads of wash. I didn't go for my walk today; I didn't even get my mail at the mailbox. I got some Christmas decorations out of the shed. I put a couple more wreaths on the windows and one on the fence. There were 4 in a long box in the back of the shed. I got out the trees and found I have to get a white vinyl table cloth to put under my large tree. I put that down to catch all the artificial snow that I throw on the tree. I got the snow earlier as there is never any left after Black Friday.
I went back to the church as I noticed no one had signed up for the clean up crew for the homeless shelter. I got there early and started washing up the pans as they finished with them. The St. Augustine's Episcopal Church cooked the dinner. The Pastor, Charlotte, and I were on clean up duty. They made a nice dinner of ham, carrots, peas, macaroni & cheese, and green bean casserole with rolls. There were plenty of desserts, too.
Many of the St. Augustine people helped with the dishes. We have a very fast dishwashing machine and it helped to have a lot of people drying so we were able to empty the tray and fill it back up again. I got home at 7;30.

Posted by tedkarol at November 30, 2012 9:59 PMHi, So glad to hear that Don's test results were good. What a relief it is to hear the doctor say that the tests all came back looking good. Such a thankful gift to know he's doing well.
People have their Christmas lights on earlier this year it seems to me. Our downtown area has been beautifully decorated as they do every year. It's really quite spectacular. Our downtown area has been getting a really big facelift, and it all looks lovely. They spent lots of money to make the downtown improvements with the hope of luring business owners to set up their businesses in the downtown area. The Kellogg Company has placed 600 of their employees in a newly renovated office building right downtown. So now, many of them would like a few more shops they could go to during their lunch hours and after work. Sure hope everything works out good. It's beautiful for sure.
You've really been busy doing so many different things and I know you are such a blessing to so many people. You could be the lighted angel on the top of a Christmas tree. I really miss being able to do the things I used to be able to participate in. My heart is right, but, my body screams "no-no" I know you're trying to stay busy so you don't have to think about Danny Boy. I feel very sure he's definitely in "doggie heaven" and saying a big Amen that he doesn't have to go outside in the rain anymore! Enjoy the rest of the weekend - we're hearing that our temps might be in the 60's by Monday. That sounds mighty nice. Love, Ruth
