WEEKEND REPORT

Saturday morning Nancy's daughter, Vicky, and her son had Nancy's electric chain saw and were cutting the broken cedar trees around my car and in the road. I helped move cut limbs and cleared the snow off of my car. When it warmed up we headed for Granbury. Borrowed books from the Library, got mail at the PO, then shopped Walmart for a couple of hours with everyone else in town who had run out of food during the snow storm. We brought the frozen stuff back, put it in the freezer then went back to town to eat some catfish for supper.

Sunday I attended Sunday School with Nancy. I was the only man in the class although they say sometimes men do attend. Of course in a Baptist church I thought they would separate us but they didn't. Her SS teacher was well prepared and the women knew their Bible and had a good discussion. They were studying the first chapter of Acts and a little of the second. We then attended church with a full country band doing the music. Much of the service was praise music. They served communion and passed the elements down the rows with a basket for the cups like we do at home.

Nancy made a great meal because she said we couldn't get into a restaurant on Valentine's Day. She made rib-eye steaks, baked potatoes, spinach salad, cauliflower with cottage cheese and fruit.

This morning we ate breakfast with Nancy's SS class. This time I got to sit with the men and the women sat together. I got to meet an Angus rancher (who doesn't read The Livestock Weekly). He had worked as a planner for many years at Lockheed. A couple of others had worked for the Texas Highway Department and told about trucks running into overpasses and causing big problems. We came home and Nancy prepared food for the next couple of days. She is fixing a big meal for tomorrow when Vicky and her sons will join us. Today we fixed the left-over steak into shish-k-bobs. I try not to eat too much at night to compensate.

I finished posting all the checkbooks to Quicken and am getting close to working on the 2009 taxes.
