Rambling

Hello, anyone out there that might be reading this. It has been so long since I've posted anything that I had almost forgotten how! Guess that tells you that I don't have a lot going on that is worth writing down. I am still doing my thing with Meals on Wheels and have made some wonderful friends there. Right now I am considering volunteering to work in our church office one afternoon each week - staff there is short handed and there's a lot of work to be done. I am to talk to someone about it next week.

I just got back from a wonderful visit with my friend Pat, who lives in Pleasanton, Tx. I was down there for a week and as usual we played cards a lot. When Pat was here in August I introduced her to Skip-Bo. She went back to Pleasanton with a brand new deck of cards and proceeded to teach the game to anyone that will sit still long enough to play. Needless to say, she won a lot more games that I did! I did beat her in the one game of Gin that we played!

Also, since my last post I had some remodeling done on the house, actually just one wall taken out between the dining room and living room. That made the area seem so much larger - amazing. Also had some wood (laminate) floors installed in the dining area and halls. I think it looks great. I am in the midst of redecorating right now - which is taking a little longer than I would like, but I'll get there - soon, I hope.

A great big Happy Thanksgiving to everyone reading this.

Well Hello Nelda! So glad you are back and that you and Pat had a good time. (It just so happens I knew you were gone cuz she replied to one of those rare emails of mine recently and told me so.)

You and Pat are so funny -- I laughed out loud when I read that you did have to play one hand of Gin...just to prove you still had it, I'm sure. ;)

I think it's great you are volunteering for your church. I know you have been quite happy joining there, just as I know they will love having your skills, intelligence, and fun personality around.

Next time I'm in your neck of the woods, I can't wait to see the redo. I know it will be stinkin' cute.

I do so love seeing my name in print ~~ especially when it's surrounded by such complimentary words. The only thing that could be better would for you and I to be sitting on my back deck together again. But, that will happen again one of these days.

Love ya oodles and doodles and bunches and gobs.
