Nicky was very happy today.   I got to stay home all day.  I was glad too.    The next day for home all day is next Friday.     How did I get on this merry go round:)

I did a bit of yard work and some more cleaning in the garage.    The last section is the hardest.   My Christmas stuff.    Dick always said I could have retired years earlier if it wasn't for those damned ornaments:)

It was a nice day today though a bit windy.    The temps were in the 70s and quite bearable.   My grass is getting brown already.   I have to set up a watering schedule.   I have given up on the back for the time being .    Too much shade to let normal grasses grow,

Still waiting to hear when my plumber is coming to fix the dishwasher sink problem.   WILL IT EVER END!

aWhat a day.    Highs and lows all over the place.

My garbage disposal and the adjoining sink are malfunctioning.   Got a call into American Shield AND Shield Plumbing.   When will it ever end.

Had a wonderful meeting of the Celtic Club.   We had eight people there including the new friend, Mike, that I met at Writer's Club.    We talked about Samhain (The dark season of the Celtic Calendar) and Halloween with its Celtic roots.   We met at the Lawton Country Club.   New for me.    Great food and service and quiet so we could discuss our Celtic interests.

Came home.    Remembered that I had wanted to go to the store so that I had my lottery ticket and did not need to go anywhere tomorrow.    I sure goofed that up.    When I brought my groceries out and put them in the back, I shut the door with my keys inside!!!!!    Had to call for help.   Barbara , bless her sweet heart. left a sewing retreat to help me.    I will make changes that will prevent that from happening again.

Please, Jesus.   Let these awful events stop happening:)

I had to be at the outpatient Clinic at 9:15 for my SWALLOW test.   Whatever that is.   They are trying to figure out why my food seems to Jam halfway down my esphogus.    I figure it will go away eventually as the radiation scars heal.

My mammogram was A one.   I figured it would be and am going to see if I can skip these from now on.

A busy day at home doing stuff I wanted to do so I am not complaining.    Love you all.

Been negligent of posting the past couple of days.

Yesterday Quilt Guild was in the evening and I was too tired when I got home.   It was a busy day anyway.  I had made a batch of Hello Dollies for treat for the Guild.    There was so much there but they made a big dent in them.    I will take the rest to Bible Study tomorrow.

Tonight was the Writer's Club.    There were four of us there, including a new guy called Mike, who writes futuristic science fiction.      Really fascinating.    Marti and Karlos both read too.    I read the Galacia chapter of my book and tried out a couple of Christmas poems.

I have been busy around the house too.    Had to water today.   Things are so dry.   I am pretty much caught up now.    Can get to work on my projects and fun things:)

Nora called today,   we had a a good visit.   They vacationed in Italy.    Had a great time.

Until tomorrow.
