Good Friday, March 29, 2024 Sunny Breezy Warm Pretty 70 Degrees 3:26 p.m.
Living in the south is different from living in the west. Living in the Bible Belt is different from living in the west. Here, all government office are closed. There is no school today. There is no mail delivery today. Many other businesses are closed, and many close early. All employers are required to give their employees two hours off to go to church or to just worship. Good Friday is a holy holiday in the bible belt. I do agree with this policy,
Tina got off work at 2:00 p.m. She and Monica are our shopping, I believe. They were going to the Christian Book Store, and I do believe they will be there a while. That is an interesting store with all sorts of nice things, including handbags and wallets made in, I believe Turkey. They are beautiful and they are expensive. Not as bad as Coach, Dunne & Berk, but close. Defiantly out of my budget. However I have bought some pretty things in there for gifts and for myself.
Yesterday with Dottie and Max was fun. We visited, toured her yard, watched a bit of TV, and visited. She made potato salad and brownies to go with the hot dogs, and opened a can of pork and beans. Tammy and Jerry brought the hot dogs and chili, and Tina brought chips. it was a fun get together and the food was great. The only bad part was that Dottie stood up and turned her ankle so her ankle was swollen pretty badly by the time she let us know about it. And, she didn’t mean to let us know. Tina and I saw it, went for the ice bag and got her to prop her foot up. Today she said it was a little bit better but she was keeping an ice bag close and her foot propped up as much as possible. Max is very happy as she is sitting on the couch and he can curl up right close to her and nap all day.
The weekend looks fairly quiet so far. Winner at Dottie’s on Sunday, Church on Saturday evening, household duties tomorrow, like cleaning the car port. It has acquired several leaves since the wind has been blowing. A trip to the grocery store and the meat market. I think that is it.
Quote of the day: “Love is the divine vitality that everywhere produces and restores life. To each and every one of us, it gives the power of working miracles if we will.” Lydia Marie Child, 1802 – 1880, American Abolitionist, writer.
Have a wonderful rest of your Good Friday. Make it a truly Good day, filled with kindness, joy, love and fun. Have a very sunny, cheerful and Blessed Easter.
