Swimming

Up for devotions.  Great way to start a day.  I headed to IG to go to Doses.  I bought a suitcase and when I got home I started to roll and pack some of the clothes that I  plan to take to Texas.  Then I went to the rec center and used a punch card to go swimming.  I swam a little over and hour (about a mile.)  Makes me pretty happy.  Denny was home and had made a couple good calls,   He made an appointment with Jorgenson hearing in Storm Lake.  Curt called and had about a 2 hour job for Denny.  Hope fully it will work out well.  He left to start the job: going to the shop, taking the fuel tank  to Wanda's, filling the fuel tank, taking the tank to the shop, taking a truck to get a wagon at Merle' bring the wagon to the shop and hopefully get back to his pickup to drive to Storm Lake by 3:30.   I headed to study at Ginny's around 1:30.

Slow day at home

Nice am.  I called Kim and she was going to be around and so I walked/trudged there for coffee.  Then I walked home.  It was chilly, but I made it.  I took a hot bath and wrapped in a blanket.  It started to snow,  I looked out the window and tried to get warm.  Denny came home after working for Larsons about 5 hours.  We went to Awana, There were fewer clubber there, but still a good time.  Both Q and Z were fine and good to work with.  The vehicles were full that were going to Battle Creek and so Denny and I gave 3 girls a ride back to BC.  Good day.

OGT permit to carry

Up for devotions and coffee, I headed to OGT until 11 and then I went to Andrea at FB office and signed up for Welmark drug plan.  Lord, continue to guide me.  I am not comfortable choosing insurance.  Uffta!!  Before headed out to trudge 4 miles on the trail, I visited with Denny who was getting his haircut.  He was heading to Larsons to drive tractor.  At 5 Denny came home and we headed to the training for a permit to carry at Pizza Ranch in Denison.  Ya, I want to have the permit to be a packing mama.  This was the first step.  Uffta!!   Maybe ... it was the food I wanted.  To me, their food is great!!  And the 2 pizza pieces and 2 sides for $6 was wonderful!!

Jean and Paul and newest Grand daughter.  

JT day

Got to Cherokee at 7:30.  Mandy’s first day back at the clinic.  Fun day for me.  Jan came around 11.  Jason came home for lunch.      Jack helped me put a tenderloin roast and spices in the crock pot for supper.  Jack went down for a nap a little after 1 and slept until 4 pm.   I got groceries before I met Denny at the King Theater to watch the movie, Ar Astara.

Dallas Center Church

Well, the daylight savings time left us still getting up early to deliver a suitcase to Matt S. so he could take it to N.   Nice service in a rented storefront, the room is kinda narrow and long, but a good facility.  I tired to get warm after we got home, but decided to trudge my 4 miles.  AND luckily I finished right before it started to rain. Got good news that I am in second place in the "for the health of it" contest.  Lord, guide me and help me take good care of the body You have given me.

-Lawyers should never ask a Texas grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer.

In a trial, a Texas small-town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.'

The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?'

She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a
youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.'

The defense attorney nearly died.

The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said,

'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair.....🤠

Packing a suitcase

There was no tractor available for Denny to help, so he cut down trees in the terraces.  I went to StormLake and Alta shopping.  I got bags from sos and sorted them in the afternoon while I watched New Amsterdam.  There were lots of bags.  Denny and I packed the suitcase with stuff that Missy didn't have room for.  Nice slow night.  We're going to bed a little early and planning to head to Dallas Center and go to church.  The pastor, Matt S. is going to N. this week and is taking Missy's suitcase to N.

Funeral

Upandtrudged3milescalepicturefirsttimesince112016-147:)   Man, did I hurry to head to IG by 9:30 for Denny's dermatology appointment.   After his appointment we went to oSusan's and Gordon's and they drove to Spirit Lake.  It was the dad of a classmate of Denny's.  We got back about 5.  Long day, good visiting.  Baked sweet potato and then guacamole for supper.  Now I need to catch up and the past 4 days of blogs that I haven't done.

Thanks Luke for the cool dudes and shoes.
