Jan is on the left....Tonight I am praying for my good friend Jan. I have not spoken to her, but Carrie talked with her daughter Laura today. Jan had told me about this dr. appt., and now what I know is that the mass has grown, and she is scheduled to have surgery in St. Louis very soon to remove it. At that time, she will find out if it is malignant. A few weeks back, she entered the hospital after taking a fall, and she recovered from that problem, but they found this new one. So I am so hoping and praying that whatever this is, it can be removed, and Jan can continue her loving and caring ways in our world. So tonight I am abruptly awakened from a deep sleep with Jan on my mind and in my heart.
I enjoyed Bible Study Wednesday morning. We are in the 3rd chapter of Revelation, and as we study this book, we are frequently referred to passages in previous books. I am learning so much in this study.
I made another trip to our "upscale" thrift shop Designers Again. Since I have lost some lbs. throughout the past year, my pants and skirts no longer work for me. I found a home for most of the pants, but there are many items in my closet that I have to move out. So I have become a regular at the thrift shop, and surprisingly, I have found some new things that work for me there. Shirts and pants from Chico, Jones New York (my favorite line because they fit me well with the square cut wasteline), and Lee, Calvin Klein, Liz, and a few other nice jeans. Wish I'd found this approach to shopping for clothes sooner! I have gotten many brand new or like new items for $10. We have another thrift shop downtown I have also visited. One can pick up a real nice pair of name brand jeans for $6 there. You just have to be there at the right time and check things over closely. I have sold quite a few things--you get 40% of the selling price, still better than garage sale prices. Carrie got me on to the thrift shop. Thanks Car!
On Thursday I will take the Caddy in for an oil change and walk with Judy at the mall. I am trying to be ready for the Breast Cancer 5K walk on Saturday morning to raise money for the Blessing Breast Center, for mammograms for low-income women. A great cause. Carrie will walk with me. We will probably cheat a little and park a vehicle about a mile away. 5K probably too much for me. There is a nice health fair at Washington Park downtown, and some nice giveaways for breast cancer patients and their supporters. I think I have enough pink ribbons :o)
The Eilerings will be in town for Bailey's volleyball tournament Friday evening and Saturday. Looking forward to seeing Bailey's team play and visiting with John and Carolyn.
Carrie and Tony have their 7th wedding anniversary coming up, so we will have the grandkids Saturday night so they can have a night out to celebrate. So I have a lot to look forward to in the next few days.
