I did a little more cleaning of files at the office today, then made out the checks to pay the bills that are coming up. Two people will be coming in tomorrow to sign them. I also did the weekly bulletin and ran off copies of it.
Jim came in and fixed the faulty doorbell this morning and did some of the cleaning since our custodian is off recuperating from a fall at his other place of employment.
The weekly art group and the monthly bunco group both met today in different rooms there.
Marshall and Gene stopped in on their way to a woodworking meeting in another city, and Nancy was in and out during the day, so all in all, it was a busy day. Marshall brought in his portion of the May newsletter and Nancy gave me her part.
Coke stopped in and brought me some brisket, beans, potato salad, and rolls that were left over from a supper he and his wife prepared for their lodge group. That will be good for tomorrow night's supper.
I made egg salad turnovers and sugar peas for tonight's supper. Sis came home from work feeling bad and had to lie down awhile before she felt like eating.

I had asked our yard man last week to mow again. He finally came yesterday while I was at work. Then he came over to the office to collect. I had already made out a check for him but couldn’t find it in my purse when he got here. So I asked him to come by the house and pick it up after I got home from work. Sure enough when I got home I found it on my desk there.
We had hot dogs and cottage cheese for supper. Later I made a banana custard pie. The lady that I got the recipe from called it Banana Bread Pie, but it really is the same thing as the banana custard pie that I have in my Bisquick files. I substituted Splenda and regular evaporated milk for the can of sweetened condensed milk that the recipe called for.
The little tomato plants I set out yesterday afternoon are still doing okay. Maybe they will make it. I watered them again this morning and this evening. I need to get some Miracle-Gro to put on them.

It got up to 88 degrees this afternoon. I set out 12 little tomato plants this afternoon after I got home from work and when I came back inside, I was really hot and tired. Sure can tell I'm not in my 20's any more. I took a half hour nap and then got up and watched Jeopardy and the news.
We had leftovers for supper - spaghetti and meat balls for Sis; rice with spaghetti sauce and meat balls for me. We had a green salad with it.

The weekend (Sat-Sun, Apr 24-25, 2010)
Saturday, Apr 24
We had a storm during the night with sleet or small hail. It woke me up around 1:30 a.m. I got up to look out the window and my cell phone rang. I could tell by the ringtone that it was the alarm company calling about the burglar alarm at work. I had the call forwarding on from the office. I'm not on the list of people for them to call, so I didn't answer it. They would automatically call one of the people on the list. It rang a couple more times during the night and one of the men on the list went and met the police there. It turned out that one of the lower level doors hadn't been locked securely (both sides of the double door have to be locked)and a police officer checking the area had pulled on it and it opened and set off the alarm.
Sis was called for a temporary job next week at a location we are not familiar with, so we took a trial run this morning to see how to get there, after map-questing the address.
On the way home we ate breakfast at IHOP. It was actually more of a brunch by the time we got there.
Sunday, Apr 25
After church this morning we went to a cafeteria-style restaurant for lunch. I am trying to lose weight again so I just had a salad and a corn muffin with butter.
For supper I had a dish of sliced strawberries with a biscuit (strawberry shortcake).

I tried several different shots of Calvin, but he was too sleepy to do much.
I got my hair cut today.
We had spaghetti with meat balls for supper, with salad and french bread. Later we had apple pie and ice cream for dessert.

The mobile food pantry from the food bank came and parked in the office parking lot this morning. It was quite a success. Around 100 families were served.
I made a meat loaf before I left for work this morning and we had part of it with fried green tomatoes for supper. We had apple pie for dessert.

So far this morning it is sunny. I have been printing out reports at work and finally took a break. I mailed in the 941 report to the IRS for the 1st quarter - glad to finally get that out of the way. There is a meeting at 2 pm that I will have to attend.
I plan to fix pork chops for supper. Sis brought home some snow peas so we'll probably have them too. That was a good supper. We also had fresh strawberries for dessert.
