Today was a beautiful but extremely warm day.

We had 36 people at church this morning. Unfortunately that is pretty much the norm lately. Our attendance has been rather low for awhile.

Sis was out of town all weekend on a mission trip, but she got home this evening.

I did a little shopping yesterday - got a new pair of shoes, some sunglasses and a few groceries, but my foot has been bothering me a lot, so I spent most of the day resting.

I got my hair done Friday and decided to try a weekly appointment again for awhile.

An update on the lady who fell at church last Sunday: She had a broken collarbone, had to have 8 stitches to close the wound in her head, and is wearing a sling because of pain from the collarbone. She didn't have to stay in the hospital though, and expects to be able to get out and about again in a couple of weeks.

We had a nice day today although a light rain is predicted for tonight.

Everyone having fun at the pumpkin patch this afternoon. Cindy and Dawn wearing owl caps that Sis crocheted.

We ate lunch at Bill Miller BBQ this afternoon. I had a delicious BBQ brisket plate with beans, home fries, cole slaw, and iced tea.

Unloading pumpkins yesterday afternoon and setting up for the pumpkin sales at Epworth UMC.

One of the women at church fell this morning and we had to call an ambulance to take her to the hospital to be checked. She is an elderly lady with Parkinson's disease and she just lost her balance, but fell hard and hit her head, which was bleeding although not profusely.

We ate breakfast at Cracker Barrel restaurant, then went to Wal-Mart and did our weekly shopping.

When we left there, we went to a Lutheran church on that side of town that was having a fund-raiser dinner. We bought two dinners and brought home to have for supper. Each dinner had sausage, potatoes and green beans, sauerkraut, applesauce, and bread. It was quite good and generous portions of everything.

They were also having a rummage sale, so we looked through that and Sis found a few things to buy.

This afternoon we went to Epworth UMC to help unload pumpkins for their annual pumpkin sale.

Then we came home and I did my laundry.

The property tax bill came in today's mail, so I made out a check to pay that.

So far we haven't gotten the rain that was forecast for today.

I got 4 packages of Advantage II flea treatment for the kittens and put it on each of them.

Callie - sitting in my laptop computer case. The picture looks kind of dark because I don't have the ceiling light on and it is 6:30 p.m.

I worked until noon today, then went to the beauty shop and got my hair cut and set. That sure makes me feel better.

We went to Best Buy after work and I got a new ethernet cord for my computer. The kittens had chewed through the one I had and I was unable to get onto the internet.

Then we stopped at IHOP for supper.

My arthritis hasn't been bothering me much for a few days, but now my right foot is really giving me a lot of pain, day and night. I think the horrible bunions have caused problems with the nerves in that foot. I haven't been able to sleep tonight yet.
