Kiwanis' speaker was very interesting, a clinical therapist and director of the Youth and Family Resource Centre. She was hoping to recruit volunteers to be advocates for abused children, speaking up for them in court, and generally being the one stable person they can rely on until they are adopted. I would have loved to have done something like that, if I had known about it when I first came here, but I am too near the end of my life to embark on anything like that now.
The Lenten lunch and service today was at the Catholic church. I arrived barely 5 minutes late, but they were well into the Stations of the Cross when I got there - which isn't really my thing anyway - I scanned the congregation but couldn't see any pals, so I backed out.
I set off for Barnes and Noble in Norman to buy a birthday present. I was bowling along Highway 9, playing some of Larry's Bluegrass Gospel, and on the way, right in the middle of the prairies, miles from anywhere, there is a Sonic - a fast food drive through - so I picked up one of their strawberry milk shakes, which I absolutely love, and some deep fried mozzarella sticks, and that was my lunch.
Although I love bookshops, especially Barnes and Noble, I wasn't in there very long, I didn't even go to the Starbucks in the middle of the store, I wanted to get back and press on with my cross stitch project for the wedding present. I took a picture of what it is supposed to look like -
It has been a lovely warm day again today, I think this is the first time - since I don't know when - that I didn't have to get dressed in several layers, then gradually peel them off. I was all day in the same short sleeved tee shirt and skirt I put on in the morning.
but tomorrow will be a cooler 65.
