Monday

I forgot to mention that I went to the AARP meeting on Saturday to catch up with my friend Phyllis who has just come back from her mission trip to South Dakota taking the gospel to children who didn't know Jesus.   She drove a van and trailer over 2000 miles, I think that is amazing, I couldn't do it and she is older than I am, 78 - really pushing 80.

The AARP speaker was the CEO of a company which is doing a lot of good work in Shawnee.  I couldn't hear her very well, but I was pleased to be sitting with Phyllis and Joe, and was reading my C-Nook while Phyllis sorted her photos.

I gather the trip was very successful.   The children were Indians on a Reservation, so unbelievable as it seems,  maybe it is possible that they didn't know Jesus.  Phyllis said they do now.

Kevin came and cut my grass this morning, bless him.  I was going to the Senior Centre and in negotiating my way out of the drive, round my wheelie bin and Kevin's trailer, I hit the mailbox opposite.

I'd just finished a little lap size afghan for a senior, and took it to Kate to use as a bingo prize or give to someone she thought would like it.   They were still serving breakfast and she asked if I'd like some.  I asked for a pancake, and you would not believe the look of incredulity I got when I asked for some lemon to squeeze over it.

I make these afghans to use up all the balls of yarn I've accumulated, and then the last time I was in the Senior Centre they gave me a great big bag full.   Mercy.


In  the news..........

They wouldn't even be asking this question if they thought Hilary's Presidential run  was an absolute certainty.

Speaking of which...........

 



This is getting a bit hard to follow.  I did pick up the fact though that she didn't sit at her computer and delete her e-mails with her fingers, like we would do.  No, the server was professionally scrubbed clean, which is very BAD.  In fact it is a federal offence.   I don't know how she sleeps at night, if she does.

And Donald Trump was called for jury duty in New York.

However when he got there, he wasn't picked.  I assume they have the same system as us, whereby a defendant can object to a juror, and I can't imagine any attorneys wanting Donald Trump and his circus in their courtroom.  Had he been picked I bet he would have appointed himself  the foreman.

And...I haven't finished with him yet..

I have to say Fox News has some excellent four star generals, and other high ranking military personnel giving their insights and analyses of events in the Middle East, which is fine for the likes of me, but if you're President of the United States in the Oval Office, are you really going to tune into the journalists of Fox News, in the hope that they have a high ranking general on their programme, who will tell you how to handle the situation!
