I don't really have much time to post, but I feel that I need to record some activities of late.
I had some things to take to Barbara for her house the other night, and 'The Queen Mother', Miss Elizabeth, stayed up to see me. I was truely touched by her affection. She raved over the light mint green curtains I had found for Barbara's house.
She is quite a fine lady, and I'm glad to have her for a good, praying friend.
Steve (2) and I went up to Rogersville day before yesterday, and shopped for windows and doors at Shepherd's Corner, a re-sale store there. We didn't buy much, but went by and had lunch at Joe's Sweet Tooth Cafe. It's always nice to see Joe and her good staff, and have some good food.
We then went to a Salvage store down on Western Avenue in Knoxville, but their prices were just way too high for us to buy anything there.
We were heading back to Rutledge when I got a call on my cell phone from a fellow Steve knows, and he wanted to sell me some paving stones and facing manufactured stone. He's going out of the business, and promised me some really great prices.
We went there to look at the stone, and his prices were truely great, so I bought all his inventory.
Lynn had told me that she's interested in some of the paving stones, and Steve (1) was not so angry at me for buying so much when he learned that Lynn wanted some. He really loves his sister (and I can see why), and he is glad that she and I get along so well. We have a LOT in common.
Steve (2) and I and two other men loaded and hauled stone products and some other building products that the 'stone man' threw in all day yesterday. I'm storing the stones up in the field where the Whooper Swans are kept, so they will not add to the clutter down around the house.
That mollified Steve (1) some. He hates all my 'junk'.
I was really tired last night, and I'm sore all over today, but there's lots more stone and building products to haul. It's supposed to rain today, so it will be miserable work.
I'm not getting much done at Creekside, but I'm getting lots to work with for the time when Steve is home with me at the time of my surgery, which is scheduled for Good Friday. I won't be able to work then, so I feel the need to get things for the work others will be doing.
Faune has kept up with my blog, and prays for me daily. She's an old friend who means a lot to me.
I don't know if Betty Pike reads daily, but we keep in touch. Ruth Pike has a birthday soon, and I will have to remember to send her something. She will be 91. She's lived a good, long life for the Lord, and I think she deserves something nice for that great achievment.
Mr. Eddy saw me last night in the Down Home and commented that I was getting a lot done with the house at Creekside. He said that the old house needed someone to 'help and comfort' it. He's been good for Rutledge for a great many years. I cherish his good will.
I stopped by the Family Dollar for a short visit and to get a hug from Joan. I hope I didn't smell too badly, but I had been loading stuff on trucks all day in the sun. Steven (who works there) told me I looked a little red, so I guess I showed the sun on my skin. I felt a little dry last night, and put on a lot of lotion.
I talked with Barbara for longer last night than in a while. We had some catching up to do. She's going to call me today to see if I can meet her and Elizabeth for lunch, but my 'dance card' is pretty full. I have so much to do. I hope I can stay fairly well and full of hope, and do all I can.
Lynn has not posted lately, but we talked on the phone for about an hour the other day.
She needs to post soon. (hint, hint).
