Coupons

I've made the rounds this morning. My friend, Bernice, called to tell me about the KFC coupons Oprah talked about yesterday. Two piece grilled chicken meal with two sides and a biscuit free. The only catch is that one cannot choose the pieces....they give you what they have ready. Bernice said one had to print the coupons off a particular website and she didn't know how to access it. So I said I'd stop by. We got the job done and I printed some for me too. In addition I printed two for my dad and wife. They are super tight about eating out but I think if it is free, they will meander up town for a meal soon. Mary needs a break....she cooks every day and does such a good job. She is a great cook and the hostess with the mostess.

So after I left Bernice, I stopped to deliver the free coupons to my father. He was outside, sinking a fence post. For all you non farmers, that is really hard work. The man is 89 years old. Amazes me. He took the coupons with a smile and seemed pleased. Mary was out for lunch with a group of ladies from their church so he was by himself. I almost felt guilty driving off and leaving him but it was my problem not his. He was just fine. Just an eldest daughter concerned for her father.

Now I'm waiting for my husband to come home. The man finds a reason to be gone all the time. Is there an unspoken message in that? I spoke too soon.....he just walked in the door. It's always good to have him around.

Our friend Joni was taken to Chicago to the hospital yesterday. Because of her spinal injury, she has blood pressure regulation problems and that is intensified during pregnancy. The meds they put her on last week were not working so she had a bad night and day. Doctors said to bring her in. They are monitoring her and will probably try another med. We are thankful the baby is still in where he/she needs to be to develop fully. God be merciful.
