Here is it March proving itself, sometimes like a lion and other times like a lamb.

Last week when I went to the library I met the sweetest lady who was 90 years old, lived by herself and loves to read, and she was there to get some more books. I love going to the library also.

I had a nice surprise when Mike and Sue went to Leonard and Arlene Trent’s on Thursday for their weekly singing by Mike and Sue brought some potato soup. Arlene called me to come over and be with them. I surely did enjoy the evening.

The revival at church was wonderful with The Mills – beautiful music, good messages. If you didn’t attend you really missed a blessing.

Thanks to “Miss Dorothy” for all her kindness to me for all the donations of canned goods last week.

The deer are out in our neighborhood in full force. When my motion lights come on them at night they give a big squeal and take off running. The deer really do like our neighborhood.

“Miss Claudine” Wood up on the mountain got quite a bit of snow, but it’s always pretty especially if the sun comes out. As we get older Miss Claudine and I love sunny days in the winter.

It surely was good to see Connie and Steve Greer at church – you looked so good. God bless you.

Helpful hints: if serving appetizers buffet style and seating is limited, consider no mess finger foods that don’t require utensils to eat. How many appetizers should you prepare: allow 4-6 appetizers per person if a meal quickly follows. If a late meal is planned, allow 6-8 appetizers per guest.

Food for thought

When you are offended at any man’s fault, turn to yourself and then we need to study our own failings. Then, we will forget our anger. Remember anger does not produce God’s righteousness.
