November 2. It was a cloudy, rainy day. After breakfast we headed for the girls’ house. Upon arriving, I put away some food items in the fridge, set out the ground beef to finish thawing, put a load of clothes in to wash, made a smoothie, sat down to drink it and started up my computer. Worked a little bit on the culture notes until the wash was done. Put all but hang-up clothes in dryer and hung up the rest around the house. Prepared meat loaf and sweet potatoes to go in the oven a bit later. A few minutes after that, Ellen came by for a visit. It was good to see her and we enjoyed a long chat. I was glad I had prepared the food ahead so just had to pop it into the oven while we were talking. After Ellen left, we had dinner. Then had nap. The rest of the afternoon, I worked on culture notes. In the evening, I did some crocheting and we watched the livestreaming of the service from ABC, honoring Pastor/missionary Norman Johnston. November 3. Slept in until after 6:30 this morning. The first order of business after breakfast and quiet time was to scrub the bathroom floor—just the few square feet of space from the doorway to the toilet. Water and dirt get in the spaces between all the mini tiles and it really gets to looking messy after a while. The only way to clean it is with scrub brush on hands and knees. Daddy can’t handle that job because of his vertigo so I put my pillow inside plastic bags and used that to kneel on. So hard to get up and down with these old knees. After that job was done and we had rested a while, we headed out to visit Ruth. We had hoped and prayed for an opportunity to share the gospel with her. We don’t know why the Lord didn’t give us that opportunity, but it was almost like she didn’t even care that we were there. I felt sad about not being able to talk with her about her need of salvation. From Ruth’s, we headed over to visit some other friends. “J” came to the door and let us in. It was good to see them all. “D” and “J” are having their struggles physically but were happy to have us come visit. I brought “J” the two washcloths I had made along with some Castile soap we had gotten at WalMart. We headed back home a little after 12:00. Had lunch, did a little crocheting, had nap, did more crocheting, went for a stretch in the warm sunshine and fresh air, did more crocheting, had supper, did more crocheting. Around 6:30, we headed to C&C’s house where we played Boggle. It turned out to be a long game, but Connie finally won. We were late getting back to the apartment, and I found the dirty dishes still waiting for me. No one had washed them up while we were gone. 😊 I was thankful there weren’t very many. And I’m thankful we have an extra hour to play with tonight. But I don’t intend to play. I intend to go to bed. Good night!
