Buffy was fine today so we didn't take him to the vet.
After church this morning we went to Luby's buffet for lunch. Then we went to the funeral home for the viewing of one of our church congregation. In the meantime I got a call that the mother of another of our congregation died this morning.
The weather was great today.
I napped this afternoon. I suppose that means I won't sleep again tonight.

We ended up getting 2 to 4 inches of rain throughout the city. It wasn't as much as predicted, but still was a lot for us.
One of the kittens - Buffy - is sick tonight. He has thrown up several times and now his throat is raw and irritated so that the phlegm he throws up is pink. I think our vet has started staying open for a few hours on Sunday so we will probably take him in tomorrow to be checked. The other kittens are okay and they all eat the same thing - just dry catfood.

We had a light rain yesterday evening, a good hard rain this evening, and 100% chance of a very heavy rain tomorrow. We could get 7 to 9 inches of rain according to the forecast.
After I got off work at noon, we went and did our weekly shopping a day early, then stopped at Bud Jones for a late lunch. That left us too full to want any supper.
We have enough food on hand now that we can go another week without shopping if necessary. But the rain is expected to move on out of the area after tomorrow.
Several baptisms are planned at church Sunday; a meeting on Monday evening; and a funeral and funeral reception on Tuesday.

It was pretty busy at work today. A monthly group met there this afternoon and were still there when I left.
I just had a cheese sandwich for supper tonight. It's about time to skip supper and maybe lose a few ounces.
My arthritis is bothering me a lot tonight and this may be another sleepless night. I've not had one of those for a few days.
Maybe I'll go read a little more in my book.

This is what Sis is making for supper tonight. I don't think she is making that large a recipe of it though, especially since there are just two of us to eat it.
This recipe is from the Taste of Home files.
This is an old German recipe handed down from generation to generation, using foods grown or raised on the family farm. I remember helping my grandmother make these when I could barely see over the kitchen table!—Ellen Batt, Hoisington, Kansas
Bierocks RecipePrep: 30 min. + rising Bake: 30 min.
Yield: 24 Servings
Ingredients
•DOUGH:
•10 to 11 cups all-purpose flour, divided
•1 package (1/4-ounce) active dry yeast
•1/2 cup sugar
•2 teaspoons salt
•2-1/2 cups water
•1 cup milk
•1/2 cup butter, cubed
•2 eggs
•FILLING:
•2 pounds ground beef
•1 large onion, chopped
•2 teaspoons salt
•1 teaspoon ground white pepper
•2 pounds shredded cabbage, cooked and drained
Directions
•For dough, in a large bowl, combine 4 cups of flour, yeast, sugar and salt; mix well and set aside.
• In a saucepan, heat water, milk and butter just until butter melts. Remove from heat and cool to 120°-130°. Combine with flour mixture; add eggs. Using an electric mixer, blend at low speed until moistened then beat at medium speed for 3 minutes. By hand, gradually stir in enough remaining flour to make a firm dough.
• Knead on a floured surface about 10 minutes. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled, about 1 hour. Punch dough down; let rise again until almost doubled.
• Meanwhile, for the filling, brown beef with onion, salt and pepper; drain. Mix together with cabbage; set aside. Divide the dough into fourths. Roll each piece into a 15-in. x 10-in. rectangle. Cut into 5-inch squares. Spoon 1/3 to 1/2 cup filling onto each square. Bring the four corners up over the filling; pinch together to seal. Repeat with remaining dough and filling. Place on greased baking sheets.
• Bake at 375° for 30 minutes or until brown. Yield: 24 servings.

We had a few extra faces at church this morning. That was nice.
We ate lunch at home today: Gorton's fish filets, asparagus stir-fry, and garlic bread. Really tasted good.
I didn't sleep last night, so I took a nap after lunch.
After a couple of naps this afternoon I feel much better and less achy. I had the rest of the fish in a sandwich for supper with some sliced fresh fruit (strawberries, peaches, plums).
I've started on Book 2 of The Cat Who Series: The Cat Who Ate Danish Modern.
I talked to my friend, Edna this afternoon. She just had her 90th birthday last Friday.
