Good friends dropping by...

Slept okay last night - got up kinda early and been pretty easy going for the most part.  Had lots of phone calls and several visitors. Rie and Sister Buoy brought me some flowers Gonzalez had bought for me.

She had left them in the fridge at the hall and didn't come out today so they brought them to me.  Sweet. I had also forgotten to put up the picture of Linda and Leah from our morning in service Monday.  It was a lovely day and I found all my return visits at home except one.  My sister Ruth picked up a nice salad and came over to have lunch with me.  She wanted me to print a copy of one of the pictures I sent her. It is the one I put on my September 27th post.  It printed out pretty good.  She looked at a few more I have scanned and couldn't get over our hair.  I'll have to admit her hair held those styles better than the rest of us.  My hair was thick enough but has always been fine and would slide right out of the teasing. Memory - just remembered it was Ruth who teased my hair the very first time.  I had a date with Tommy and his friends from the band he played in.  We were going to Durham High to listen to another band playing there.  She came into the bathroom while I was trying to comb the curls out of my hair (back then I would wash and set my hair and the curls would be so tight they were very hard to tame).  She made me sit on the commode and teased my hair and picked it for me.  I remember vividly how happy I was because when we met everyone else (I didn't know any of the girls and they were all older and went to the city school) my hair looked as good if not better than theirs and yes - their was teased too.  Wow - I'm thinking that was a first for me - being on the cutting edge of a fashion. :) GG dropped by while Ruth was here and visited for a bit. I can tell she is worried but I don't think she remembers exactly why I'm having the surgery and I think that is best. Vera and Luz dropped by also and everyone has been very careful not to hug or touch me so I do appreciate that.  Of course I had to hug Eileen when she came but I know she isn't sick.  We had a good visit and she gave me a nice gift which was way too nice but I do appreciate it.  We looked at the pictures I took of her little wedding and laughed our heads off at hair styles too.

I also wanted to share the picture Keith sent me via phone of Kurt and Lee from Saturday night. Kurt was raving about a Taco Truck they found.  They all had so much fun with the music and being together. I'm so glad Kurt was able to be with them. Ruth just called and is coming over to visit and BigD is getting ready to go pick up meatloaf, creamed potatoes, green beans, hush-puppies, cooked apples and sweet tea from Home Plate. It has been a beautiful autumn day - bright sun, blue sky, crispness in the warm air and the leaves in our yard are just starting to turn. Another day.......

I sent Kurt the picture Keith sent me and he sent me this one to show the other side of Keith and Lee. Yeah - they had fun...
