DON'T LEAVE HOME WITHOUT IT!
Oh, well, I fell
So what, not a lot!
The parking lot was almost empty yesterday when I miss judged a curb and fell onto the sidewalk. I landed on my knees and hands, and then rolled over on to my right hip. In a few seconds a lady in her late thirties was helping me up. As I stood a man offered help and another man driving by stopped to ask if more help was needed. The world is full of good people.
I have a habit of praying, for safety, at the start of the day and when I drive the car. I thought I would be black and blue, but I don't have a bruise or mark from the fall! Prayer was my first aid and ice wasn't needed.

Fast Feline
After Shampooing I noticed my hair was trying to go into bangs. After expermenting and combing bangs I looked into the drawer and dropped the comb into the open drawer and pushed it shut, but it wouldn't close. I gave it another push and Ms Kitty came out of the drawer! I didn't know she was in the bathroom! She was either in the back of the drawer or under it. It's good to start the day with a laugh.

Furnite Too
The floors are all finished. The Oak hardwood is beautiful, even better than it was when I bought the house 59 years ago! There is also new matching floor tile in the kitchen and bathroom. All rooms are newly painted, even the laundry room, every little thing that needed fixing is or will be fixed!
Ken's new wife,Jane, had nice furniture to sell and I bought a sofa, two wing chairs + foot stool. She has a carpet she wants to sell. I will look at it today.
When they were married they both had a house full of furniture and so the sale benefited us both.
I also have bought furniture for my bedroom. A night stand, a dresser, and a tall chest of drawers.
I have set up the extra bedroom for painting, and my writing station is in my bedroom. I have been writing daily and am learn a lot.
Heavenly Father is so good to me!

The lost is found
Huray, I found the lost letter. It was in the glove box in my car. Since I never put anything there I didn't look there!

Lets Gang The Director
It was the first play I ever attended that began with an intermission of an hour and forty-five minutes, and that proved to be the best part of the play!
My friend Melissa was the only talented actor in the play and felt she couldn't bow out because of the children in the play. Heidi was the name of the play. It is about a young girl and her grandfather, but the actor playing grandfather was physic and saw a disaster coming. He quit the play a week before opening night. Melissa was asked to fill in and the part would become a grandmother. Four times during the play she was called grandfather.
The parts of Heidi and Goat Peter were played by three different kids. Heidi started out medium size, then got bigger, and then got much smaller.
The kids would forget their lines and Melissa would say, "Did you mean to say...?" At one point in the play, Clara, in a wheel chair, was supposed to be wheeled off stage, but the chair caught on a throw rug and wouldn't move. Melissa told the kid to get up and leave, she then threw her hands into the air and said,"Its a miracle she can walk!" Later in the play Clara was to be wheeled off of the stage, it was two feet off of the floor, there was no ramp to wheel her down so the kid pushing the chair took her to the side of the stage and DUMPED her,out of the chair, back stage! Clara may need that wheel chair for real before this play is over!
Tragedy equals humor and my sides were splinting! Th director scolded Melissa for filling in the dead air with humor and said she was turning a serious play into a comedy!
At the appropriate time for applause most of the loud clapping came from back stage.
Toward the end of play the actors started on scene five before scene four and had to back up and do scene four.
I was setting on the first row. In the scene where Clara tries to walk and fall onto the floor she is out of the spot light. Something was blocking the spot light, upon closer inspection I saw it was my shadow. The spot light was hitting me in the back of the head! I spent the rest of the scene with my head on my knees!
During a ten minute intermission that took twenty-five minutes the part of the audience that wasn't honor bond to stay beat a fast retreat. I stayed, Melissa is my friend.
There were many more mistakes made but thankfully I can't recall them just now.
After the play Melissa received an arm load of flowers. The director didn't! I don't know why, aren't flowers usually sent to a funeral?

A mystery
At last my first writing lesson was return.I spent the night with LaDon to escape the sanding dust. I didn't want to be rude so I just read a small part of the letter. I started home and between her house and my car the letter disappeared! We have searched her house and my car without success. My next story maybe a mystery. Do you think the teacher will accept an excuse if I say my dog ate it? The letter also had my next assignment in it but I didn't read that part. Ken put on the first coat of polyurethane in the living room today and will paint on two more tomorrow.
