Just Catching Up

Well, I had a cold for a few days so I wasn't doing a whole lot of anything. I feel better now so it's time to catch up.

We had a rummage sale here at Limpdik Park today. Everyone who signed up got a card table in the community room and we set out our wares. The problem is, we all have limited space and if we get rid of our own junk, and turn around and buy someone else's junk...well that doesn't help matters much.

The stuff I took down to sell was all stored away, so you can't even tell that I cleared out anything. I did pretty good though. $40. I'm donating it to the Friends of Felines Rescue Center that we love so much.

I only came home with three new items....a Lenox kitty figurine that I bought for $4 and a crystal kitty candle holder and a pair of silver earrings, both of which were given to me.

Dave was supposed to come down and help me, but just as he was about to leave the apartment, he noticed he had a flat tire on his power chair. So he had to change that, then he headed down to the Discount Medical place to have his spare fixed. I was thinking, at first, that it's always something, but then I thought, Ya know....we're still blessed in this situation. He's at home, not out on the street....he has a spare tire...he has the tools and the know-how to easily fix it himself. So it wasn't so bad after all. Sometimes I just have to look for the blessing. It's always there.

Speaking of blessings....on Monday, we were down in the community room, calling the Bingo game for the residents. Dave likes to make it fun, so he keeps up a little patter as he's calling the numbers. He always makes sure that everyone knows that I23 represents his birthday, April 23rd. and that all gifts are accepted. (They get a kick out of him). This time he said he'd like to have a new computer.

Well, after the game, our friend Anita, who teaches our Crochet/Knit club, and is Aaron's grandmother..(see Quilts of Valor 2), comes rolling into the room with a 15inch widescreen laptop and puts it in Dave's hands. It seems that someone at her church gave it to her, and she can't make it do what she wants, and didn't want anyone to show her, so she decided to give it to Dave so that someone would get some enjoyment out of it.

Oh my garsh!!!..You talk about a kid in a candy shop! He is having the best time with that thing. It had to have some cleanup and a new installation of virus and spyware protection, (Avast and Malwarebyte are both available online for free and are so much better than Norton's, by the way) but it's just perfect for him. Thanks again, Anita!

So here we are on Saturday. I'm tired from the rummage sale, but I still have to do laundry. I think that will wait til tomorrow. The couch is calling my name, and I must answer.....Nappy time....ZZZzzzzzz
