Here I am, trying to get this blog done.
You probably won't believe it but this is the second one I did today. I could not believe what happened. I had done the complete blog and then, lo and behold, I accidentally hit that key...the one that sends everything to someplace mysterious in the outer limits of space...and it was gone. I tried everything I could think of..of course, you realize that for me, that is limited in regards to knowing alot about computers and what they mysteriously do....but I could never retrieve it, so here I am, writing another blog. let's hope this one gets done and into the file. ha ha
I am enjoying lp more and more. I have been here almost three weeks. that is a long time for me.
Except to go to bp to get my mail once a week, have coffee with my mcd group, check on my friend d, and this week, I had lunch with two old friends of mine...p and s...they were happy to see me and we had a good time.
They could not wait to tell me that my old church in fp had a new pastor. They knew I would love him when I heard him.
I told them that I would not be back to that church.
I told them I was very happy and comfortable with the church in lp.
I have joined the choir, am involved in a bible study class and am very surprised at the involvement of the congregation there. The pastor is very learned in the bible. They were unhappy that I would not be back and they felt they would be losing me as a friend.
I told them we could take turns coming to see each other. S told me it was too far. She said it would be easier for me to come there since I was only one person and they would be four. I told her I could not see what that had to do with it, so I suggested then that we meet halfway..in S,,,and she said that was not halfway.
So I wonder if God was showing me in another way that it is time to leave and move down here. I truly wondered if she ...s..was my friend or if I was a friend of convenience. Anyway, that's how that goes.
My friend M invited me to an art class the other day. I said I did not know how to paint and did not want to invest money in something I was not sure I was capable of. She said to bring my crochet and I could visit with the ladies while they painted and I did my thing.
When I walked in, the teacher did not even ask me if I wanted to try it...she just handed me a tile...like those holding a glass or whatever...showed me the paints and gave me a brush. It was a stencil so I just filled it in.
Then she gave me a lunch size plate, a picture of a rose, showed me two strokes and said ...go ahead and try.. I did and I could not believe it, but it looked like a rose. I was so excited.
I have always wanted to try painted but was afraid to invest money in materials when I did not know if I could do it. I can. wow!
I pay for the class and for the first four sessions, I can use the materials for free, then I pay just $60 for a setup of materials.
Sounds like fun to me.
I had to laugh at myself because on the way out, I spied a beautiful vase that had been painted and I told my friend M that I wanted to do that by next christmas for my daughterinlaw. Isn't that a hoot????
Saturday, I am going to bp and bring my regular computer down here. Have already called a guy to set it up for me on monday.
Have gotten a girl to clean for me here.
Have gotten a man to spray inside monthly for prevention of bugs her in lp,
Sounds like I am almost here to stay, doesn't it?
By the way, got an invitation in the mail to attend, actually it was to my hubby, a 50th anniversary of the first Publix to be opened in south florida. it is on november 10th in lighthouse pt.
I accepted, because, of course, I worked there too. can't believe it has been 50 years since dad and I helped to do that. It is a dear memory. And it certainly made publix what it is today.
That was store number 46 and now they have over 1000. unbelieveable, isn't it?
can't wait to see some of my old bosses and my old friends.
will be sure to take lots of pictures and write you all about it.
well, guess I better go for now. this is getting too long. ha ha
love.....
