Hi Folks,
It's Sunday again and time to let all of you know what a boring life I am leading. I just got back from church and I'm baking a pie and have invited Ed & Norine and Dick & Joyce for dinner this evening. That is, if, Dick & Joyce get back here. I accomplished something I have never done before this week---I drove Dick & Joyce to the airport on Tuesday!! I've ridden with Marland dozens of times but never driven it myself before. My car is a really old but sturdy car but I've not driven it much so it took some getting used to. I've entered a new phase in my life!!! I'm going to pick them up again this afternoon--that is if the weather will allow. While I was in church this morning, I had a message from Dick that it is storming up in Oregon so---I"ll wait to hear from them. That will probably alter my dinner plans also! So it goes!! They flew home for a funeral for a dear friend.
Tuesday noon, Lorn & Kitty Schneeberger, a cousin of Marland's, came to visit. I took them to lunch at our local "in park" restaurant and then we came home for apple pie and ice cream that I made earlier. We spent four delightful hours visiting and what a great time I had. They got me up to date on all the friends I used to know in Elbow Lake. I thank them very much.
This week I got a very welcome surprise email from Eileen Gibb(my niece) from Oregon. She must be reading the blog and knew how much I appreciate hearing from blog readers. Thanks, Eileen
Saturday I attended my church Christmas salad luncheon. We sang Christmas carols and some of the gals put on a clever skit. What a variety of food!!! Lutherans women are noted for that!!
Friday and Saturday we had almost 2 inches of rain. That doesn't sound like much to people in other parts of the country but in Arizona it is awesome. Our average yearly rainfall is 6 inches and up until now we had only had less than 2 inches in 11 months so it was very welcome. It makes lots of TV news because it happens so seldom. Remember Peggy? It never rains in Arizona!! Only when you & Steve go on your Harleys!
That's about it for this week. Next week I will be writing my last blog for this year. On December 11, I will be flying to Minnesota for the holidays and won't be back until January 9 so no blogs while I am gone. Sue will probably be posting holiday pictures so stay tuned.
Love to everyone, LaVerne
