BUSY

Dad and I both had a busy day on Wed.  Cathy came to visit us in the morning and said a little prayer for dad. God often shows us in loving friends who care about us. She is writing a paper for her course at the university.

Dad went for a bike ride and for a walk in the park.  His hip is gradually getting better.  So that is good.  No one likes to have pain.  I think one of the most important things in life is hope. 

I wrote to my distant cousin in Australia, which is something I have been putting off.  I know she likes getting letters.  Then I went to The Pantry for our group luncheon.  Lots of talk and laughter which was also good.  I feel very loved and accepted by this group.   I am so fortunate to have so many good friends especially when I think of both Rosanna and Gunty who seem to have very few if any.

Then after I did a bit of shopping and went to the bank and both of us were happy to be home.

As I am writing dad is in his big chair right up to the T.V. watching the hockey game.  The L. A. Kings, who he is cheering for,  have just scored.

To-morrow we will be driving into town to see the eye specialist.  I will try and have a quick walk before we go. 

I could publish this to-night but then it will be said I missed a day.

Dad and I are reading a series of books by Matt Beyon Rees.  The first one was "The Collaborator of Bethlehem",  I will take a book along to read while I wait at the eye doctors.  The next book is called "A Grave In Gaza."  Fortunately they are available at the library.  On my walk around today I went into Chapters and saw at least three excellent books.  Strange sometimes there is nothing I find interesting or else there are many.  I did not even make to the religious section.

 Yes, I did cave in and buy one.

Hope everyone enjoys their day.
