This morning I met my friend and we shopped at Joann's and Big Lots. We had lunch at Honey Baked Ham. Her family doesn't shop at Wal-Mart, so after I left her at her house, I went to Wally-World and competed my list. I was able to purchase six yards of polyester fabric to make Mom's pants. That should make three, maybe four pair.
After I wrote earlier, I went to my sewing room to look for the electric scissors. Now I have a huge mess of fabric from my stash that has to be put away before I can begin to sew. Did not find the scissors, and there were none in stock at Joann's. My poor thumb will just have to endure.
My area is Central Missouri. I grew up here, and have returned here from any sojourns elsewhere. We are generally a farming area where cattle, sheep, hogs, chickens, corn, soy beans, milo, wheat, and several types of hay are grown. It is furtile land with rolling hills, lakes, ponds and rivers. Columbia is the largest city in the area. It is midway between St. Louis and Kansas City on I-70. The University of Missouri is there as well as two other campus colleges: Stephens College which was once a sophisticated college for women, and Columbia College which was once Christian College and has campuses all over the world.
DH and I met on a chartered bus returning to our college from Glorieta Baptist Assembly near Santa Fe, NM. I had worked there that summer, and DH was with a group from the Baptist Student Union. We married, and two weeks later he was shipped out to Seoul, Korea, with the U.S. Army. We were grateful it wasn't Viet Nam. I went to be with him three months later, living on the economy in Seoul. I worked on base and also volunteered at Holt Adoption Agency. When I returned to the states a year later, I escorted three Korean girls to their adoptive parents in the U.S. We earned our Master's degrees, then taught in KC for several years before moving to the area where we now live. Each summer, we would pack up and move back to the farm to help DH's parents. We were married eight years before DS was born. DD was born four years after that. DS is career Air Force stationed in Germany. His wife and our oldest DGD (age 12) are with him. DD and DSIL live near us and their twin daughters (age 8) are the girls I write about so often. Casey is our 9-year-old tuxedo cat that is quite a cuddler and as soft as a rabbit. We have three parents still living. All are in nursing homes. I am an only-child, which means all of my parent's "stuff" has to be handled by me. Over the past three years, this group has seen me through the most depressing days of my life. DH and I are both retired, but since we have to deal with our parents' "stuff" we definitely are not relaxing.
That's my whole adult-life story! It's always fun to learn about each other.
Lucy, doggone flu symptoms! Did you ever get to go to the lab this morning?
Maybe I'll be back later. If not, y'all have a nice evening and a comfy warm night! --Molly
