No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

Some great excitement here today

Well, maybe not all that exciting but at least great fun! In my bathroom (can I say that??) I have a hand-held draw poker game for passing the time, as it were. Today I had the option of selecting four "cards" with clubs, and hoped the next card coming up, when summoned, would be also be clubs. Sure 'nuff, it was! I watched as the score kept climbing and climbing, not stopping, so I opened the cover to look at the back of the game to see what the high score was. Without my being fully aware, I had just picked a royal flush, all clubs. Wow!!! I won 5000 points just because I opted to keep four clubs! Would that not be fun if it were coins, rattling into the dish in front of me, clang clang clang and bells ringing? And I had no one here to tell about it---so I am telling you!

I ate my breakfast and lunch in today, more like brunch, as I went to the fridge to pull out the balance of my patty melt from lunch with Louise the other day. Of course, I had gotten sodas out all morning but for some reason did not pay attention to what else was in the fridge. Then, I spotted it----a container of of of of----tofu!!!! Ahhhh! In MY refrigerator!!!! I treated the container like it was a snake or a rodent, batting at it with a wooden spoon. Well, not quite that bad but the sensation I had was the same. I never thought I would see the day. What next??? Just, please, don't make me eat any of it....

Much of the day was spent working on the Flock Talk for church as well as chatting on facebook and with Justin between classes. He is going as my date to Kathy B.'s daughter's wedding next month. I got through a few of the stacks on my desk mainly because I was looking for my Ladies' Group Minutes from the previous meeting. I was starting to get a bit concerned because I really needed my notes, and was relieved to finally find them only a few inches deep in the stack. Whew!

Earlier in the day I also enjoyed a couple phone conversations, one with Mona and one with my friend, Judy R.!!! She was working on her prayer calendar and asked me for some ideas regarding the Resurrection. We tried to use facebook to chat but had troubles connecting. The next best thing---the phone! We did kick around a few passages plus she said the hymnal offers great gospel gems to use to fill in all the dates. Fortunately, she also has a calendar from a couple years ago to reference for ideas. It never hurts to recycle, especially when it's the Easter story!!!
