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

Kim and Justin

Someone asked me how tall Justin is these days, and here is my proof that he is taller than me! The fellow, John, also asked me if Justin was done with college yet, and I had at admit that perhaps that might be the case---at least for now. He is enjoying helping his buddies with their classes but is not taking anything for himself right now.

John told me he is personally three credits away from his degree but just can't face that math class in front of him. That would shut me down immediately!

Bits 'n Pieces II

It seems I have used this title before as it defaulted when I began typing it in. It works today too!

After the memorial service at church yesterday, I was worn out emotionally and went to bed much earlier than usual. Morning did not come soon enough for me as I was tormented with horrible dreams influenced in part by TV programs I had watched before sleeping or listened to during my sleep! One was on the news channel about the Anthony case in central Florida and featured largely in my dreams, rather, nightmares. Yikes! So glad to be awake but am left unsettled in heart….

Good news was received from Amazon in regard to my missing order. Make that GREAT news---they are reshipping my order at no expense to me. If my original order turns up, I can simply refuse the shipment and it will be returned to them. Also, a book on backorder has been bumped up to Next Day Air shipping when it becomes available at no additional charge to me, to make up for my inconvenience. I love great customer service!

Areas around me had received many inches of rain but I cannot say if we had that here in OP or not. Justin’s area at the beaches had the most rain at 10” with street flooding and even flash floods in places. Eagle Harbor also had heavy rain overnight. It was so dark out Saturday that it was just after 8:00 a.m. before I woke up, no sun in my face at all that day!

My dinner was the food from the memorial service at church Saturday, eaten around 4:30 or so. More a late lunch than early dinner but I was not hungry until bedtime. Just love those single-serving sized Orville Reddenbacher popcorn bags, perfect for bedtime consumption.

I worked on the newsletter sent every other month to our members away. It is also mailed to those I describe as ‘seldom seen’, and sadly, needed to print off a few more letters. Pretty soon mailings will be thing of the past unless the Pony Express takes over! One thing which I really strongly dislike is hearing the beep beep beep from the printer, warning that the ink is low----cha ching!

Robbie (a.k.a. The Maestro) interviewed me for a class last week and has told me a couple times of different things I said to him which he has already pressed into service. He is going to print off the finished paper for me so I can see how my recorded words translated to text. Hopefully I don’t sound too foolish, but I will guess not if he is using some of things I talked about in his work.

Today in church, we heard a WELS Connection discussing the recent Synod convention. One of the ladies behind me asked if that was the one I was at with Judy. I told her this was the Synod convention, and I was at the Worship Conference. She was not aware a new translation of the NIV was coming out either. When I go next to the doctor, I am asking him or her for some patience pills please because I am being easily rattled these days!
