New Microwave

Thursday, May 20, 2010

There must be a lot of pollen in the air this morning. As soon as I opened the door to let Precious out, I started sneezing and my nose started getting stuffed up. It has been hot and muggy and is expected to be in the high 80's the rest of the week.

The mobile food pantry was in the church parking lot yesterday morning and it drew the biggest number so far. 142 families came to get food. We probably will go back to the regular indoor one until fall though, because the food bank insists that during the summer they will only provide food to families with children under 18. That's all well and good for those families, but it leaves out the elderly who are low income and count on that food to supplement their low income.

There was a story on the news last night. A city bus driver was driving his bus down the street after dark and saw something up ahead. He couldn't immediately see whether it was an animal or trash or what but luckily he slowed down. There was a 14-month-old baby sitting in the middle of the street. When he stopped and got out, the father heard the noise and ran out and grabbed the baby and ran back inside with never a thank you or any other comments. I think Child Protective Services is checking on the case as they have had calls there before and there seems to be a family drug and alcohol background too. It could have been a disastrous ending.

Sunday - New microwave

After church this morning we went to Bud Jones for lunch. I had a large chef salad. I brought part of it home and had it for supper tonight.

Then we went to an appliance store and bought a new 1200 watt microwave.

We went on to Wal-Mart. I didn't get anything there but Sis got some yarn and fabric.
