I had  a whole two days at home.   The weather was pleasant.   I am sure I will be remembering these lovely days when the temps are 90 plus for days and days this summer.    I am sure I will appreciate them more than the cold which penetrates the bones.

I have been quite busy with projects and reading and walking my Vita   (I should say my Vita walking me, as I always way I get a dog to walk me as I am basically pretty lazy.)    There is a pretty good Oklahoma wind but not insurmountable.   We still liked our walk and I have found that neighbors have missed me:)    How blessed can I be.

A busy day.    A friend of mine, Bonnie, invited me to have lunch with the Lawton Red Hat Club.   I knew a couple of people and they are a friendly group.     A decent meal at Fusion, a local restaurant.

Tonight I went over to church where we had the pleasure of having a program by Linda Schaefer, a photographer, author, who spent quite a bit of time with Mother Teresa from 1990 and on until her death and still has contact and works with the Sisters.     She was fascinating and I bought two of her books  - Encountering Mother Teresa and Come and See.      What an exciting life she has lived.

Woke up to temperatures inn the low 20s.    It did get up to 51 this afternoon, but the wind never stopped blowing.   

Today is Ash Wednesday so I went to my usual Bible Study, then went directly to Mass at noon.    I was an usher at this mass which is always nice.    Get to greet everybody and be part of the service.

Anyway, I got my ashes this year.    I don't think I have ever not gotten to the Ash Wednesday service now that I think about it.

The wind brought the rather mild temperatures down to downright chilly.

I think Vita was disappointed in me because I did not take her around the block.

Got my hearing aid checked and a bit more education on how to use it.    I am not going to be like Grandma Bowser and leave it in my desk drawer:)

Got a haircut today to.    Tomorrow I am going to lunch with a friend and then to a talk at church from a woman who met Mother Teresa.

Nice Week
