CLEANING CLOSETS

Everyone comes to this.  A week of cleaning out closets with the intent of filling them back up with all the stuff that just can not be discarded.  Sigh!  Not a real interesting week, except....  We had lunch with friends in the midst of the sorting table and paper piles.  Yep, paper piles since the office closet has a file closet.  I do not file, except by severe necessity.  Once filed, it is forgotten like it or not it probably will never be seen again.  So I can not file bills to be paid, or anything to do with current taxes.

Next, it is shoes and purses.  Some I have not used for at least three years.  I have a pair of gold heels that I love and have not worn at all.  I love them and can see elegant dinners and even dancing.  Charles and I did boooge some this last month, but I can not do that in heels and stay upright.  Guess my gold heels will go to some lucky girl who actually does elegant dinners with dancing.

Jacqui is ready to fly off to the Marshall Islands to teach  We had a bon voyage party and we had excellent conversations with family we have not seen for awhile.  We will miss her.  A good thing was Clifferd driving us to the party in his new car.  Very nice and still smells new.  I love the GPS in the dash board and the phone that is voice activated (no hands).  It has a sun roof.  Charles read the operating manual and Clifferd said, "now you probably know more about my car than I do."

Church was good this Sunday.  We miss Al and enjoyed Ken.  Good job. Pastor Al is in Korea with his wife visiting family and preaching in their local church with her translating.  I know they are enjoying the visit.  We followed with our quarterly dinner on the grounds.  Can Methodists cook, oh yes.  Charles wanted to take chocolate and we did.      No Sunday School but we would have missed it anyway since son Ernie and wife Suzy were with us and we talked too long over breakfast.  The paper piles were gone.  I think next week will finish the closets.  We found some workers to remove the many dead trees around us.  Last year's dry and hot spell caused cedar mites to kill a good many trees.  The good news is that they are in front of the pole barn and we needed to remove most of them that had grown over the doors there.  Charles will be able park his truck under cover now.

We had a good time at Writer's /Bloc this month and talked about blogs.  I found I need to add key words so the blog shows up in a search engine.  So, here they are:  sex, scandal, elections, politicians, guns, TV stars, murder mystery stories, real and fiction.  That should take care of that.
