Diane....So good to see everyone today, as it always is, especially Robert, Christy and Dennis.  We need to travel their way again and see our classmates in Seattle.  We so hope and pray Larry is able to get this problem taken care of soon.  Or I should say, his Dr's. need to get the manual out and do some more studying.  He must be very weak by now and discouraged.  I believe the hard part, for you, is just waiting and not being able to do anything to help.  You take something to help you get some sleep or you will get sick and that wouldn't be good.  Janene and family went to Moses Lake for the week-end so we have their Golden Retriever for a couple of days.  She is so big compared to our dogs but she thinks she is a lap dog.  She is very easy to have around.  Our Maltese beats up on her and that makes her nervous.  Quit funny to watch.


#6...Ways to declutter
Create a repair center for clothes that need mending, toys that need batteries, things that need gluing.  That way, unusable items aren't in general circulation, and you know where to look when you have time to tackle a project.


I was sound asleep when the telephone jarred me awake.  "Hi!"  It was my peppy mother-in-law.  She proceeded to rattle on about the busy day she had ahead and all the things that awaited her the rest of the week.  "Mom," I interrupted.  "It's five in the morning."  "Really?  What are you doing up so early?"


THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
"Politics is not a bad profession.
If you succeed, there are many rewards.
If you disgrace yourself, you can always write a book."
