Weekend Update

Got up at 6am and rushed to Brookshire's and grabbed a bag of green peppers, bag of yellow squash, bag of red pears, and a couple of bags of seedless red grapes. The price $1.00 per bag and $5.00 total. All these fruits and veggies at the peak or ripeness (hence getting them off the shelves). Then at 8:00 Diana (sister) and I met Donny & Fay and we were off 'rummaging' (garage sell-ing). I got an 8 piece glass dinner ware free, shower radio free, cat bookends free, some potting pots for ma an 50's Betty Crocker Cookbook, almost identical to the one Ma has. Diana got a love seat (like new, $50.00) and other assorted junk. We are home now and Diana and Ma are making Chicken and stuffing for dinner and Pa is watching CNN. I may have previously alluded to the fact I am boycotting news as it tends to make my blood boil with all the postering and name calling and general uncivility. Where are our statesmen?

Anyway. Having a good time and enjoying this time with the folks.

Times to Remember

Ma has had several mini strokes this week. Dad says it has devastated her emotionally. She is having great difficulty seeing out of her right eye which makes it extremely hard for her to read. She is an avid reader so this is a major blow. Our visit seems to be cheering her considerably.
