One of the guilty pleasures Jackson and I used to enjoy was to watch this apex of television broadcasting, this image was sent to me by a faithful reader, no it wasn't me. Interesting that the lady who cut our hair moved last week so that might be my hairstyle in the near future; that or a ponytail, or maybe something in between, still up in the air and will remain there until February when I'm home next.
I knew both Albert and Tater but for some reason can not remember this tavern, and yes that is odd. Maybe there is a reason for that, please refresh my memory. I do remember the Carolina Cafe for lots of reasons, primarily their veal cutlet and Roquefort/Blue Cheese/Russian (whatever it was) salad dressing on a chef salad. Now I'm hungry and I'm salivating, or maybe someone is at the door?
This was left over from Christmas and I put it in here because it is pretty. When Spooner Creek changed a few years ago they planned to knock this little travelers' chapel down, well wait, it wasn't just for little travelers even though it is small....... but enough of the old neighbors protested so they didn't. See? Civil action can work. That turned out a lot better than my plan: burn down the neighborhood and steal all the televisions. The chapel is well known up and down the ICW and still has lots of visitors although it is harder to get to if you're anchored in the creek. Go by and sign in some time.
WOW! Thursday night SWMBO and I went to the high school to judge senior projects. This young lady made a portrait quilt. There is a model for doing this; she took a photograph she wanted to use, made a pattern, labeled each section, cut the pattern apart, cut different color materials, and then sewed it all together making sure she had enough overlap to cover the seams. Sounds simple enough right? I can't imagine the detail work she did. She said she spent about 70 hours doing it and it turned out great. Others we heard learned to play the piano, raised money for the humane shelter, and learned about crime scene investigation. This program is remarkable.
And now for Dink news: she is still resting comfortably at Hospice and is being treated like the queen she is. Her mind continues to slip, and we thought she was getting closer to the edge Tuesday night, but then on Wednesday..................well lets go to YOUTUBE:
That's her old repeated saying from the past seven years or so of looking after her, it was usually followed by a command to do something immediately (if not sooner) for her. However Thursday and Friday she returned to her pattern of sleeping a lot and being confused about the time system that only Hospice seems to use..................today at lunch she mentioned some things today that she wants to leave to "Henrietta." I just let it be thinking that she forgot one of the great grand kids' names. TAR came in this afternoon and told me she asked Dink about Henrietta and found out that was the name of her mannequin she used when sewing. You have to laugh and its OK to do so, hope Henrietta enjoys that bracelet.
I know many of you have remembered her in prayer, Thank you. I ask that you also remember the young lady and her family across the hall as she goes through this same process while in her mid-30's. And that is very sad.
But we go on; Sunday to Mississippi and back home from Alabama late Thursday night.
