Disappointments Are Coming Out Of The Wazoo

Well, the ticket machine on the computer made an error. The tickets say tonight but actually it is tomorrow. I didn't want to call the theatre but Elinor implored(Good thing). Now I am mad and disappointed. It would have been so good if it was tonight because we could have gotten a good night's sleep. This way, we will only be able to sleep two hours because Elinor is leaving for Lansing, MI on Wednesday morning and has to be at the airport at 6:50am........UHG!!!!!!!!!!!!

My second disappointment is with my camera. I couldn't find the instruction booklet and I keep getting this message that says" busy" and it won't let me take any pictures. Canon says my buffer is full but there is no way to empty it. I don't get it.

I am one pissed pup. Phoooey!!!!!!!!!

An Adventure in the Planning

Elinor and I are going to have an adventure. We are going to see the premiere of the new Harry Potter. It is suppose to open on Wednesday which just won't fit our plans since Elinor is leaving town that morning but we heard that there is suppose to be a special airing at midnight on Tuesday. Elinor WANTS to SEE this MOVIE!!!!!!!!

I checked the schedule and what it says is that the show will be at 12:05am on the 14th which is Tuesday legally but Monday evening as far as we are concerned. So I got tickets. Elinor asked John Fox if he would like to go. Well, you can't ask John if you don't ask Thomas as well so we will be escorted by the Fox boys. What a hoot!!!!! I can't wait. My first late night movie. WAHOOOOOOOOOO!

The Fairy Tea

We had a fairy tea today. Elinor and her friend, Cherie Sue, invited about 25 ladies and their daughters to have food and do some crafts. The ladies made crowns and a fairy and painted rocks. It was a hoot. Cherie Sue made the most beautiful cake which looked like a fairy's house. It was shaped like a toadstool. I wish I had a picture but unfortunately, my camera is on the blitz. I have been having more trouble with it lately.

I don't feel comfortable using other cameras because now a days, I really get confused by them.

I miss my camera. It is just one more thing that isn't right with me.

Three Birthdays on ONE Day

We have three family birthdays today. My niece, Cindy Foster(picture on the bottom), my niece, Wendy Lane Bailey(no picture) and Sam Fox(picture on the top).

Happy Birthday, Gang!!!!!!!!

How cool is that! Sam is the only one nearby so he gets the party from us. Cindy is in Kasikstan and Wendy lives in New Jersey so someone else gets to throw their parties. I love these people. Wendy is a cabaret singer with a beautiful voice and an incredible stage presence. Cindy is gentle soul with such love in her heart she is a joy to be near. And Sam is just full of beans. Five year olds are like that. He is all boy and then some. He loves Star Wars and he'll try anything once. But how could you resist that face? Oh, well.......Happy Birthday all!!!!!!!!

Be Grateful For The Gifts God Gives

I am lucky. I can see and enjoy all the beauty of this world. I met someone today who is visionally challenged but she is definately one cool lady. Today was domino day and I went over to Carleen's house as usual. The other two regulars were there along with a new player who has joined us recently, Sue, and a new new player named Katie. Katie can make out shapes and colors but the rest is kinda hard. We taught her dominos and we all had fun. Carleen kept her eye on Katie to help and we announced what was available to play on each time. It was a lot of fun and we all enjoyed the game. I am glad to know Katie. She will join us next week and then she will be going to Salt Lake City to continue her education. I love it and I am grateful to have met her. Thanks, God. Point well taken.

When You're Hot You're HOT!!!!

We went to a gig today. Elinor spoke to two groups at Craft Warehouse. CW is a great place for people who love to craft. It is similar to Michael's but better(at least in our opinion).

The ladies were mostly quilters but that is ok since Elinor is a dollmaker who quilts. She told how she got started and then showed her dolls. In between, she quoted some of her poetry, made jokes, and ended with a song. It is fantastic.

I have heard her speak on many occasions but it never ceases to amaze me. She is really neat. I am very proud to be her sister. You Rock, Lady!!!!!!!!

Recognition

I think I may be growing up. A few weeks ago, at Easter, I gave our Pastor this picture. Actually, I left the picture in a paper bag on his chair in the church with a note. I told him I was glad to have him back(he had a heart attack in Dec) and I suggested he listen to a special recording of Jesu Joy of Man's Desiring on Itube(or Utube......whatever it is). It's the Celtic Women. I thought it would give him a boost. I waited for several weeks for some acknowledgement but none came. I was angry because I thought I had done something nice and I wanted to be appreciated. Wrong reason for doing something for someone. This past week at Vacation Bible Camp I had the opportunity to ask him if he recieved it. He said he had received many things at that time and had put them in a file but he hadn't had time to go thru it.

I told him it was ok. I just wanted to make sure he got it. I really don't care if he ever acknowledges it or not. I am glad I did it and I am glad I don't need to know. I would do it again but for the right reasons this time.
