Got ‘er Done!

 

The potato salad (minus eggs) is mixed up. Tasted a small bowl of it to decide if it was decent. Lewis would have approved. MIGHT need a tad more salt, but it will do just like it is. Also, have the onions all chopped up in separate containers for those who want those on their hotdogs. Three separate kinds of onions are in the containers. If they are not used, it will be easy to use them here at home. Then the watermelon bowl is ready to go as well. Just bought that one rather than trying to cut up a melon. Let’s hope it is good. Can smell onions in the fridge, so am hoping the watermelon has not taken on that flavor!!

 

Read some more of DeHann’s Daniel this morning. Not all that fond of his writing style, but might still learn something from the book. It is at least a good reminder.

 

Monday it is already! Got a call from the plumber and took off for the church. Let the secretary know we had a plumber on the way so she could call the deacon (Jim) and unlock the door. Anyway, the plumber took out the falling apart water heater and fixed the pipes. Jim said that he would like to put a nicer counter in that room. Personally, this old woman just wants the room to work and not have to weave my way down the halls to get to the ladies’ room!! The expense was not even as much as they told us. It was $156. That is so very cheap considering what we expected. Anyway, the deacon said that they could put in a tankless water heater later that would work. Whatever.

 

Discussing insurance with the deacon, it seemed to me that the church only REALLY needs liability insurance. If the monthly payments for insurance were going to be $1500 a month, putting that much in an account with some return would work better than insurance. Yes, the place could burn down or blow away, but having a little faith might be better in the long run! Just my opinion.

 

We started getting things together to do a church directory of members—being able to put pictures and names together seems wonderful to me. It truly was enjoyable to have the church social with most of the ladies from Sunday school. Too bad not all the ladies attended!

 

One of the ladies who recently joined the church tried to go over the lesson with us this Sunday. She did not have a teacher’s manual, so it felt as if she was simply going cold turkey. Not my idea of a good way to prep for a class. She is braver than this old woman. But she likes to talk, so there’s that.

 

Wishing that Bible study this Wednesday were really going to be about the Bible and not some ideas about “soul winning.” Not my idea of a Bible study. Have no problem talking to just about anyone, but refuse to push my ideas on some stranger unless the person asks. Let God do the preparation; the old woman has no trouble giving an answer for her faith. But handing out pieces of paper as if a Morman or Jehovah’s Witness is not my bag. Just how it is.

 

My friend Judie came today to pick up some plants that were repotted just for her. She got “Herman” the cactus, some aloe vera, and aloe pups. Probably should have kept some pups, but just have decided not to have plants in the house again. Too many little ants and assorted critters bother me. Planted the oxalis in the herb bed along with an amaryllis bulb that had been in the house. That was one huge amaryllis! Still have coleus and lobelia in the flower pot that Jennifer gave me. Those will come back in before frost this fall. Think those are going to be the only plants for inside the house. The flowers in the narrow tables out front got a good soaking in the rain last night. They look so very pretty right now. Here’s hoping they can make it through the summer with enough water and petting.

 

Haven’t looked at any news today. Sometimes it just feels better to avoid getting upset by what is going on in the world. Sharon Dickerson said her son David worries all the time about what is in the news. No sense in watching or listening if we can’t turn things over to God to handle. We can pray for folks and situations, but we already know what the eventual outcomes will be. Praise God!

 

Rest well, my friends. You are loved.
