Photos, Doctors, Meetings

I didn't realize that it had been over a week since I last posted anything. My, how time flies when you're having fun, right? Last week was pretty uneventful. Nothing exciting happened. I worked at the library with a new project. I'm trying to get a finding aid created for all the photos we have. And believe me, there are a lot! I love working with the old photos. Some of the pictures are quite elaborate, both the actual picture and the back of the picture. Many of our photographs are unidentified, which makes it really tough for someone seeking a photo of an ancestor. So, if you have a bunch of photos stashed away, get them out and label them. While they aren't "old" right now, some day you will be gone and there will be no one to identify the picture.

Charles and I went to Kansas City to see the "doctor" for a couple of days. Charles went to help her trim out the bathtub and a few other little odds and ends around her house. She told him to bring me up this time! She and I went shopping for luggage for her. She didn't have any and was getting ready to take a little trip and needed more than just a tote bag. We found her a nice set at Kohl's for half price! The rest of the weekend I just stayed out of her and Charles' way! I read, played computer games, and folded her laundry. We came home Monday afternoon. She flew to Powhatten, VA, Tuesday to spend time with some friends of hers from UMKC. She actually flew in to Baltimore and drove to Powhatten, about three hours away. She called last night and said that she arrived safely and was having a good visit.

I was scheduled to go to a Springfield Cardinals ball game Monday night but my friend, Lois, called saying she didn't feel very good and wanted to stay home. She had purchased the tickets and to be perfectly honest, I was more than willing to stay home. Last night was out monthly 'girls night out'. We've made plans to go to Branson next Tuesday. I think we will both enjoy that more than a ball game.

Tonight was business meeting night at church. I drove there in the pouring down rain, wind blowing like crazy, tornado warnings out all around, and no one was there. So I turned around and came back home through it all. I wasn't going to sit in the parking lot waiting to see if any one showed up. It was a little after 7 when I got there and it was supposed to start at 7. It was a pretty scary drive. I guess I should have called someone to check to see if we were going to have church. It seems we cancel when the weather is threatening. But I thought surely it would be over quickly. Oh well....

I have a PCCSM board meeting in the morning. I like the summer months because two of the groups I belong to don't have summer meetings. That gives me a couple more "free" days each month. I like that!
