The Rest Of The Story
My week that started out so ominescing last Mon, turned out to be more exciting and more eventful than I would have thought. My daughter (who lives in the Kansas City area) called and asked me if I would like to hear gracia Burnham speak. Her story is told in her book"In The Presence Of My enemies". This was at a women's luncheon at my daughter's home church.
I don't have many opportunities to spend one on one time with my daughter, so this was a golden opportunity. My husband asked if I was sure I wanted to go up there by myself. And I got the message. He wanted to go, too. As it turned out, we were all glad he went.
The evening before, my son-in-law woke up with chest pain. They had recently paid an enormous ER bill, so he was toughing it out until the dr's office opened. He planned on driving himself, but Calvin (husband) said, "No way" and he went along. The Dr. didn't like the ekg he did in his office, so, guess what. He sent him to the ER.
They were keeping us informed. Wonderful invention the cell phone, so we went on to the luncheon when they ruled out a heart problem. They still sat in the hospital for a couple of hours after lunch, and we went to our luncheon
The luncheon was great. They served my very favorite meal, homemade chicken salad and broccoli cheese soup. Mrs. Burnham's talk was inspiring. I bought her latest book. All was good
I rushed home on Friday to go shopping (at our local nursing home) with my mother who will be 99 years old on December 5. They have this company called Clothes To You that sets up a store in their activity room and the residents can purchase whatever they want. My mother was in a mood to buy clothes. She bought $121 worth of new stuff. And we both enjoyed the afternoon.
I have run out of playtime for today, so hopefully I'll be back tomorrow with some more of the story.
