A Day of Progress....

Yesterday was a day of moving forward.  Every now and then you have a really good day.  I was up before the alarm clock went off.  Grabbed a quick cup of coffee and dressed.  I had the windows open and it was COOL both outside and inside.  For the first time in a long time I grabbed for a pair of seat pants and not shorts.  I still wore a short sleeved tee shirt and was sorry I did.  Thank goodness I had a jacket in the van!

This morning was my Best Buddies Meetup group.  Best Buddies is a newly formed social group for widows and widowers.  There were about 10 of us.  Annette was there, along with Debbie (not my BFF, yet another one, Lynne, Ed, Liz and Bev.  One of the new members (and this morning her name escapes me) was a new widow.  She lost her husband in July, so the loss was very fresh and very acute.  In the course of asking about her as we ate our breakfast it urns out she was married for 72.. seventy-two... years.  The next question was, well how old are you?  (she did not look much older than that.  Here she was 92 and had driven herself!  I can only hope to be that way should I get to 90!

Back home and did some things on the computer.  My BFF Debby came by.  She had not been over for a while.  She had copied some of the patterns on larger paper than I could do in my system.  So now I can work some more on the books that the OBX girls will be getting with their patterns.  We chatted for a bit before she headed out to WalMart.  Marji called shortly after and we chatted for a bit.

Then I moved outside on the deck.  I am making a surprise for the girls.  I had pieces of wood that I needed to wrap in batting.  Marji and Danny had brought up and electric tacking gun.  I had used it inside for the first two and Molly had gone ballistic.  She ran and hid in the bedroom... as far away from the Living Room as she could get.  So I took the other five outside and sat on the deck to finish them.  They are wrapped and ready for the next step.

I finished putting sleeves on recipes and a couple of other patterns/instructions to go into the books.  Then it was time for bed!  Wow... what a day!!!
