Mon. & Tues. Oct. 23 & 24
From a crisp, sunny Tuesday a.m. in MO,
Monday was a full day. Jim walked in the a.m. and I headed to the RSVP office to do the computer work for Mobile Meals. I was greeted with a printer that had been jammed on Friday, emptied of the jammed paper, but not willing to work properly. After several different attempts, I finally turned it off and VIOLA!!! it worked properly, but by then I was about 30 minutes behind my usual schedule. Luckily Ruth Benson was there as by the time I had the new route sheets updated, she was able to xerox them. I also had to run the data used by those who deliver - and again Ruth xeroxed those. By the time she was done xeroxing, I was also done running twelve sets of labels and together we put the needed items together. Ruth had also called the hospital for their report of last week and I got that updated as well.
The girls had three outings in the truck yesterday. First they went with Jim as he made a quick trip to WalMart, then a second outing as we checked out the new Lowe's store, and then we got out later in the day to go to WalMart for something - and again the girls went along. We have a large crate in the backseat of the truck and they are usually very good riders.
We dozed yesterday afternoon - or at least Jim dozed and I am afraid I just experienced unsettling dreams. Unfortunately the dreams continued when I went to bed last night - so the night was rather long.
The four of us walked this (Tues.) a.m. It was rather crisp as I think it was maybe 29 degrees, but there was no breeze and it was really a delightful walk. The girls love going through the accumulated leaves - and of course are always ready for a nap when we return home.
Jim left a little after 9:00 to go to Dr. Eden's to try his hand at fishing again. He loves the atmosphere at "The Farm" and enjoys being on the water. Dr. Eden is wanting the pond to be harvested of the over population of smaller fish - so Jim is willing to dress fish for a meal (or meals) while putting the nice sized fish back into the lake.
The county library is hosting an open house this afternoon. Tours will be given as well as remarks made by the library director and president of the board. We are going to have to face some significant issues in upcoming months as an outlay of money needs to be done on either rennovating the current library or building a new facility. The current facility has many attractive features, but the plumbing and heating systems are outdated, electrical system is at the max, windows need to be replaced for energy efficiency, some structural work needs to be done, etc. The building was built in the early 1900s initially for a US post office and the second floor primarily for a Federal court room. There is also a third floor as well as a basement. It will be interesting to see what kind of turnout we have at 5:00 today - and what kind of comments we will hear. Some are very opposed to giving up the current building while others would like a new facility - that would also have adequate parking available (the latter a sore issue at this time).
Helen and Stan were to get back from Washington, D.C. on Monday so I am looking forward to seeing Helen to see how the weekend with Emily went.
We don't have many plans for Wednesday other than Jim joining his breakfast groups. I always have housework - which I do a fantastic job of avoiding.
Be safe.
