Good morning girls. I almost missed morning I guess. I had one of those nights where Fortune wouldn't be still so I lost energy around 9:30 and took a nap for a couple hours. I feel a little dopey right now, but it will be ok in a few minutes.
We had hard pouring rain all day yesterday and heavy fog this morning with mid 30's overnight temps and it is in the upper 40's today. I wish we could have sun again. It is so gloomy most of the time this year.
I talked to my best friend of 45 years yesterday and she and her husband are having a real hard time. He is on disability for a back injury several years ago (besides the fact he is lazy as he used to sit in a car and drive around as a security guard!) and she can't get a job. Her unemployment and extended unemployment ran out so they are kind of in the soup. She was always so good to Jack and I when he would get laid off in Indiana that I am sending her a check every month for 5-6 months to at least help her buy groceries. One of the things that gets my goat is he won't quit smoking and spends quit a bit of his pension on cigarettes. It isn't my husband though so I have to keep my mouth shut. I am not sure she would cash the check, but if I don't see it within a week or so having come through my bank, I am going to call her and insist she cash it. We don't have tons of money, but we aren't hurting for money either and helping a friend in need is the best thing you can do IMO. Jack and I never let anyone borrow money. We have always had a policy of no borrowing. If you need money and ask and we have it, we give it to you but no borrowing. If you don't get paid back then there is resentment that builds up.
Maggie: Just stay dry and warm in the house and work on your glass or read or something. The snow will eventually melt and be easier to move around in I imagine. Fortune hates the wet of any kind so he wouldn't even venture out in it.
Jean: I had to laugh at you and the afghan. You seem to be fine with any little mistakes or whatever and I think that is great. These people that have to make perfection miss the enjoyment out of doing it IMO. I saw a mistake I made in almost the bottom of my sweater, but it only shows on the side you wear close to the skin so I wasn't about to take out 4 inches of sweater to fix it.
Well girls, I heard the buzzer and my lunch is ready. Gotta go. Have a great weekend. This is our weekend to have dinner and games with Kelly's family tomorrow night. Looking forward to hearing about her El Paso trip. Faye
