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

Tuesday already?

My morning began early as we had to get to church to help with the newsletter assembly with Linda J. As I sat at the kitchen table waiting for the time to depart, I got a text from Justin with the simple statement: "Tucked or untucked" on it. Obviously, a "Seinfeld" reference. Once I answered him, my phone rang as he called me to discuss the episode that brought this to mind. He was thinking about the show where Jerry had nitrouos oxide at the dentist and felt he may have been violated while under the influence. Justin had a cleaning scheduled for this a.m. so that is why he thought of it. Justin is correct, every thing has a "Seinfeld" reference in life!!! He is looking forward to camping outside all night to be first in line for sales at Best Buy, but not for his own purposes---but as a surrogate!

Linda has a regular crew lined up to come for this monthly task of assembling the newsletter, even makes muffins to feed her hungry helpers. They are really supposed to begin at 9:00 a.m. but these ladies vie with one another to see who can get there first so the time gets moved and moved some more....Thankfully Linda is a good sport and manages to have things well in hand by the time the early arrivals show up.

Once finished, Pastor R. came around to put the letters in the member's mailboxes to pick up on Thursday or Sunday. Then he joined us ladies for some coffee and fellowship, which is so nice. We had a good chat, and then Pastor S. came in for coffee as well. When I saw Todd, the janitor, I leapt to my feet to give him a hug hello. He is a dear man. Someone commented that Pastor S. did not get a hug when he came in but he said, "Well, I got two on Sunday so that's okay..." They had warned him about me already in September....gotta love that!

Linda helped me to fax some documents to Travis for my insurance application, then Mom and I left to go to Wal*Mart. She had another prescription to pick up and while she did that, I wandered into the ladies clothing department to see the sweaters. My closet did not cough up many cold weather garments so I had determined to get some up here, makes sense, right? In short order, I found two lightweight sweater tops and a pair of jeans, checked out, and chatted with the checkout lady before Mom came rolling along with her scrip. We headed for home then, no other business to take care of today. Linda had invited me to her Evening Circle but I declined, planning to use the time to pack my suitcase again for going to Lori's in the morning. First to Judy's and then to Lori's!

Lynn came by after doing some shopping and watched "Jeopardy" with Mom and me before she went home for the night. I went to Jill's on the 2nd floor to use her printer again, trying to find Judy's house on the mapquest website. Nope, according to them, no such place exists! But I KNOW it does, I have been there! Guess I will have to call her when I get close to Holmen so she can either lead me in over the phone or with her car! I think I need a Garmin!
