Shopping at Jeromes

This morning we left at 9:45 to go to Jeromes to purchase a Full size bed for Ethel. After filling out the paperwork we came home and it seemed like a lot of semi trucks on the freeway or it is because I don't drive on the freeway much anymore. We arrived home at 12:00 noon. Jeromes was to deliver the bed this afternoon so we skipped ceramics and hand & foot today. I don't know what happened but it is now 9:55 pm and no bed. We received several phone calls with names of people we didn't know so something is not right, I hope they show up tomorrow.

Busy sunday

Well this was a real busy Sunday. Lovely stayed over night last night. This morning we got ready for Church 8:30 am service. Had a great service starting with Pastor Brian & Pastor Mofid leading the Bagpipe Processional. The symphony preformed with other great music. Pastor Brian gave a message of "The Purpose of Giving". After the service I was surprised to be greeted from Alden and family as they had to park in the lower parking lot and were unable to sit where we were as the Church was packed. There was a lot of activity in the courtyard after the service. Then we made our way over to Marie Callenders for brunch.
After brunch we all ended up at my Condo for time together, but we missed Hailey as she had time with her friend from the July cruise. Well then everyone got involved in finishing Aunt Ethel's project.
Then there was that huge chocolate cake and we had to divide it for every one to take home. They all left about 2:00 pm and Lovely called and said she arrived at Regina's safely. Then Lovely had to repack things as Ethel gave her a large suitcase. While Lovely is in U.S. Alan takes over for the church in Taiwan.

Lovely Down from L.A.

This morning it was very foggy. I washed clothes while Ethel worked vigorously on rearranging her room. She disassembled her queen size bed, sawed the wood piece underneath and set up one of the two sets of drawers as a window seat. What to do with the other set of drawers is now our biggest question? Yippy... as Alden and his family will be here tomorrow. Maybe they can find a good home for it or at least move the darn thing to the patio. Then next week we will go shopping for a regular size bed for her room.

Lovely called to let me know that she was going to leave L.A. at 3:00 pm to come down. With the way she drives, she said she'd arrive here at about 6:00 pm. (She walked in the door at 6:05!) I had made some flan this morning. And for dinner I made scalloped potatoes and corn and of course, flan for dessert.

It is so great to have Lovely. The bad part is she has to leave tomorrow at about 1:00 pm. Well she will go to church with us tomorrow for the 8:30am service. We will go to Marie Callendar's for brunch. There will be 10 of us as Alden and his group will also be with us. Everyone will come over here as I bought a HUGE triple layer chocolate cake from Costco!
                                                                                                             
And on other notes, we've been really hot weather this week, but today it cooled down quite a bit.

Yes, it's been a month since I last blogged... better late than never...

I should mention that one reason why I haven't been able to blog is because I forgot my own password to get into my blog account. Can it be my age?

Lovely came and helped me out... all she did was point to  my notes and said, "Mom, you've been using the wrong password?" Oh... was that the problem? She wrote it nice and big on my typed notes. I should now be able to blog more regularly!
