 SUNDAY:   I missed most of church due to getting ready to serve hotdogs and then serving them out in the lobby after church.  We gave away a LOT of hotdogs but there were a LOT leftover, which we bagged up and put into the freezer.  After church, I took care of Petra and then went home.  I spent the rest of the day at home, napping and resting and I watched the movie BURNING PLAINS.  Paula stopped over for a few minutes, to give me a THANK YOU note for donating to her Ride For Roswell, and we discussed our upcoming trip in September to Mt. Rushmore and the Badlands.  MONDAY:  I slept very poorly last night, so I decided to stay home and relax and take a nap today.  I arranged for Pam, Jan and Betty to meet up here at my house to go to the parade.  Betty came, but decided to drive herself down and we arranged a meeting spot.  Pam was a little bit late, but we had plenty of time.  I parked behind Chenez Popcorn and we walke...

 Sunday:  After church, I went home and picked up my macaroni salad and made myself a drink and then went to FREEDOM NORTH for the CONNECT Group picnic.  We had a pretty good sized group, I think there were about 25 people there.  Everyone was supposed to bring a dish to pass.  Glenda made a HUGE potato salad.  There was watermelon and strawberries and a vegetable plate and a lot more.   David gave a short message about prisoners and how we are born in prison, but Jesus sets us free, before he said grace.  I left at about 2:45.  I rested at home before getting up to watch RIDLEY on PBS.  Peggy called to tell me that Jeff Smith (our stepbrother) passed away.  He had been on Hospice care at home for quite a while.  Jeff was my stepbrother.  My father married his mother in 1985 when Jeff was either 17 or 18.  He went into the military later on that year.  He was the youngest of my stepmother (Matha)s children....

 SUNDAY:  Church was good this morning, we had a guest speaker (Carol Ball) since Pastor Craig and family are away due to a death in the family.  After church, I helped pass out Fathers Day gifts to the fathers.  Then Betty, Marlene and I went out for a slice of pizza at Mark's.  I went home and rested for a few hours and then went over to visit Myrna.  I took her some baked beans and we had a nice visit. MONDAY:  Jan came over to my house and I drove us to the house of Heidi, a woman in our church who had expressed to Peggy that she needs help getting ready for her upcoming move to Florida.  We had a tiny bit of trouble locating her house, so arrived a few minutes late.  Heidi told us her story and why she is moving.  We helped her sort through stuff in her basement into two groups, one the stuff she will put into her pod, and two stuff she will be putting in her garage sale this upcoming weekend.  We were there for a couple of hou...
