Freaky Friday

Ed got the RV out of the shop yesterday. Now he has lots of things he wants to do to it, such as add a shelf down in the "basement" (under storage area) for our lawn chairs.

My day began with a visit from our new preacher, Jim Radford. I'm getting the Pastor's Page all set up on our church website. He is most cooperative and upbeat. You can see this page by clicking here: Donovan Memorial United Methodist Church. Doing the church's website has been good for adding to my computer skills.

Then I met my cousin, Stashia May Kline, at our local retirement center to have lunch with my Aunt Ginny May. She's now in the assisted living unit and is slowly adjusting, although her early Alzheimer's doesn't help. When we got ready to leave, the skies opened with one of the hardest rains I've ever seen. We waited and it let up in about 5 minutes.

Stashia drove me to the Hyundai dealer where Mother's car was being serviced. I drove the car to Waynesboro to Bill Bartleme's office. Bill used to live near us and, besides being a dear friend, he's been doing Mother's taxes for eons. He drove me back to Singers Glen and took the car. Mother is giving her car to Anita and Bill graciously volunteered to drive it to Dayton, Ohio. What a friend!

I found out that Ed was right -- my original idea of driving Mom's car and following our RV with our towed car wouldn't have worked. Just driving the 40 miles to Waynesboro brought back that awful pain in my right shoulder. I try to forget about my fibro but it shows up when least expected. It's good to have a husband to help keep me in the world of reality. Thank you, Ed and Bill B!!
