Today it is cloudy. Rain expected this evening, or tonight, or tomorrow. Memphis seems to get the majority of the rain from Hurricane Florence. At least for Tennessee. Of course, that can change in the blink of an eye. We could sure use the rain as, once again, everything is looking forlorn, dry and just not happy. That is the grass, trees, and flowers. Also, the animals who drink from the streams, lakes, ponds, creeks and rivers would love to have a fresh supply of drinking water.
Crafts was good last night. We got three blankets made, and there was only five of us. It was fun just chatting with others. One lady is a retired school teacher. She is very nice, soft spoken and kind. Her husband is also nice. He came and helped set up chairs for us, then was willing to take them down when we were finished. But one of the other men said not to worry, they would take care of it. It will be nice when things get situated there and we get out own room and can leave the tables and chairs set up. But that will be a couple of months I believe. The rooms and classrooms are being reorganized and arraigned.
Today I cleaned my desk and filled the shredder with the weeks mail. It seems like everyone wants a donation, needs money, has a great story, needs a vote to go with the money, needs two pages or more of opinions and money, and poor pitiful everyone needs money also. I shredded them all. Now the shredder full and my holder on the desk is empty. So nice. I think I should shred when the mail comes in, not wait a week, then shred. I do go through it and keep out the things I think are important, then the rest goes in the holder until I get to it, one day during the week.
Time for me to head for the kitchen. I have to say, the day goes fast and dinner time comes around quickly. I do manage to keep busy for which I am very thankful. There is always things to do around here.
