Our pastor is on vacation so the chaplain from the Luth. Home in Kane was with us. He reminds me of Dad, not in looks, but he is gentle & kind & a good preacher. He introduced his sermon "How many 4 letters words have you spoken this past week?" Then he was on to say there are many 4 letter words in the Bible & went on to preach on live & love. He also used with as we work together in living & loving. We've always had an experience pastor & you can tell the difference. She wants to conquer the world but she'll find out with experiences it isn't that easy. I think many of her introductions to the sermon are too long & personal. Just my ideas! Nobody is perfect.
We're expecting a rainy week, not all day but showers.
I was disappointed the Mets didn't win the 3rd game against the Yankees. Again inexperience led to an error & runs. The S.S. is only 21 & he is very good but still learning. They say this team blends together much better than earlier teams. Yesterday Jerry Seinfeld threw out the 1st ball & later he was with the announcers. He became a Met fan in '69. He feels the Yankees are the "elite" & the Mets are for "ordinary" fans. He has a daughter 4 years, a son 2 y ears & one on the way. We listen to him (his program) at 6 pm on TBS.
I'm wondering if Andy will be working 2 jobs. Good for him to be recommended. He'll make a good salesman, esp. when the girls come in!!
Wed. the 24th
Yesterday I had my teeth cleaned & then checked by Dr. Walters. No problems but he said don't eat the unpopped kernals of corn. He had had 3 people who had problems -- lost a filling or part of a tooth. I said I like sweets more than popcorn. He knows I'm 84 & said that can't be so bad when at 84 you have the teeth you have. His Dad was born in 1920.
I'm watching aft. baseball. Colorado at Milwaukee.
This A.M. I watched the History Channel -- the story of Pres. Roosevelt, esp. during World War II. I learned about the happenings of that day -- ones I lived thru but didn't know much about. I do remember seeing Pres. Roosevelt on a motor tour thru Spfld. He was quite a man & his wife Eleanor was a woman before her time. She would have loved to be living today with teh freedoms women have.
Thurs. nite
I was hoping to watch the Mets in Fla. but it is raining. They're on a losing streak so I guess I won't miss much.
Bert gave Barb a dress to Barb but Barb didn't carer for it so she showed it to Kim & Kim loved it. The Hospital Auxiliary has a summer event to raise money & Kim & Lar will go to it. They've been having it outside for a few years. Tents, etc. It will be at Bets Park this year. Kim wanted a new dress but didn't want to spend a lot of money, so she was really happy to get this. Skirt, sleeveless top & a jacket. Just what she wanted. A jacket for when it cools off.
Gen called today. She calls John's friends -- the boys. The boys see that she takes her medication. She wonders why she can't take it herself. She can't remember.
Tonite I tried something different -- shrimp Creole. I'm not that fond of shrimp but they like it. Tossed salad, garlic bread & chocolate cake for dessert.
The game is back on. Off for 80 minutes & only in the 2nd inning. The Mets just scored 3 runs. Imagine that!!!
It finally warmed up today so I didn't need a sweater in the house. We expect a cloudy & showery weekend.
I gave Lar & Kim money for their anniversary. They can buy something they'd like or put it toward something.
All for this time.
