Today was an adventure! Before breakfast I changed bed sheets, did laundry, and got a shower and dressed. Kathy picked me up at 10:30am and we headed to Vanderbilt to the church down there. They were having a Rummage sale fundraiser – everything $1.00! Sounded like a deal to us!
We drove for about 25 minutes before we realized that the GPS auto-corrected Vanderbilt to Vandergrift! We ended up an hour away from where we were going! We laughed and laughed, and kept finding funny things. The little WRONG township was OKLAHOMA, so we said we went to the church by way of Oklahoma so it took us longer than we planned! But we re-routed and arrived a noon, having enjoyed the farms and fields and mountain views on the drive.
Kathy bought a few things, and I picked up 2 flat sheets to use as paint cloths since I ‘lost’ mine! And the bonus was three-fold: We got to visit with dear friends Lynn and Greg (minister and wife). We found some bargains. We met a tiny dog that loves shopping! That dog never made a peep!
I don’t think it was $1……
I grabbed a ‘Snail’ (pastry) for a quick hunger-stopper and went down to Nate’s. I had a roaster to give them and I needed to pay Jen for a fundraiser ticket for the rescue. I stopped at Shop and Save on the way home and got Blue Bonnet margarine; one of the few places that has it these days.
The weather was cool and comfortable, so I tackled the weeds in the side garden plot by the driveway. Got it totally done! I even had time to cut the grass. I noticed a limb stuck in the maple in the front yard. It was about `15 feet long so I had to saw it into pieces to get it ready for the trash. If I remember I’ll take the 3 larger pieces to the bonfire Friday night.
I caught a picture of last night’s almost-full moon just as it was morphing from orange to bright white. It was a beautiful moon.
September 10 – Tell about who you thought was the dumbest kid in school and why. “In grade school it was Henry Leczner. He never tried to learn (we thought). He had a rough home life. In high school we thought Eugene Condolpha couldn’t do anything right except play basketball.” By today’s standards that would probably be ok. Sports are the THING!!!

TOMORROW September 11th is:
- National Hot Cross Bun Day
- National Make Your Bed Day
- Patriot Day and National Day of Service and Remembrance
- National Pet Memorial Day
- National Hug Your Hound Day
- National Grandparent’s Day
I make my bed EVERY DAY. I don’t have a hound to hug, but I will remember my Tazz. And after visiting the Flight 93 Memorial this spring I have a far different emotional interpretation for Patriot’s Day. I know quite a number of grandparents – and in fact I am one! God bless… And take time to remember 9/11…
