BUSY MONDAY

I started the day changing sheets, loading the washer, heating two old waffles I had frozen and adding blueberries to be a little healthier, checking email and getting to the Library board on time. It was raining all morning but slacked up at 9. Had .44 in my rain gauge read-out that means I probably got .5. Any and all rain is appreciated in West Texas.

We have a hard-working board and had an efficient mailing crew of the directors sticking name labels on the newsletter and taping them, separating into zip codes for the PO. This newsletter lists all of the donations and shows how many people giving to the Library to permit us to operate. I read in the newspaper that ACU and HSU received less in giving this last year but McMurry did well. Our Library did well and hopefully will continue to be supported by our local friends. The Gates Foundation has promised $4000 to pay for three directors and our Librarian to go to Portland, Oregon to recieve accolades for being a finalist in the best small Library in the nation. But local donations will keep the doors open to our patrons. We looked at the Wii equipment that we now have to let patrons play games. We firmed up our plans for the Meet the Author event tomorrow where Murray Edwards will speak.

I bought car license renewals, talked to the bank, bought bird feed and groceries for me, got a nap, finished the laundry and recycled Kathy's spaghetti and the steak from FW for lunch. Then tonight I did a final edit on my resolution on creation/evolution for the Methodist church. I have posted it on my creation blog if you are interested. Yesterday I worked on the resolution and finally got a column written for The Livestock Weekly.

I plan to spend Wednesday to the next Wednesday in Granbury and bring Nancy back here for the next week. Her sling is now off and she is doing well with her healing. Thanks for all of the prayers for her recovery. God is good.
