Ecclectic

Our friends, Jim and Linda, accompanied us to Golden Corral for lunch yesterday. I'm not sure we can classify a meal at GC, a lunch. There is enough food at that restaurant any time to consider a meal "dinner". I didn't eat the rest of the day. While we were riding there, Linda took my hanky and showed me how to make the baby or babies in a cradle. She commented that she didn't know if kids today would get any enjoyment from that since they are entertained with such high tech stuff these days. I told her I have two little grandaughters in Michigan that I thought would enjoy having their Grandma make cradles for them while sitting in church. We will have to go to visit them soon so I can try it out.

I got two responses to my cousin reunion invitation over the weekend. One is negative and one positive. The negative response was from an arm of the family from which we have no takers as yet. I hope some of that family's kids come. The positive response was from the wife of an older cousin of mine that lives about twenty miles from here. So far, things look pretty fair. So far, there are about seventeen people coming. I have fifteen cousins on that side of the family so the numbers coming are pretty good.

My blog is late today because I was interrupted by the doorbell, visited with the visitor and forgot that I was in the middle of things on this blog. Soon it was time to take my friend to the dentist for an extraction. I was her cheerleader. I don't like the dentist anymore than she does. The news is good though, she lived.

It was while I was twenty five miles away that I remember two unfinished things; one was this blog, the other was that I forgot to shut off my lights. My last car had lights that automatically shut down after the car stopped. They told me that this car doesn't have that feature so I've been trying hard to remember to turn off the lights. Today it was dark even though it was daylight so I turned them on when I traveled to the house of my friend. When I got there, I transferred my stuff and rode in her car. So, while traveling, I mentioned that I thought perhaps I had forgotten to turn my lights off. My friend confirmed my fear by telling me she had noticed they were still on when we left the driveway. So for a couple of hours I wondered if I would find a dead car when we returned to her home. For whatever reason, the button was on, the lights off and the car started easily. Praise the Lord for small things in life. Now I'm wondering if that car really does have that feature and that it is just set for a longer period of time than the lights on my old vehicle. Gonna have to check that out.
