George and Violet Blakey came by last Monday afternoon to take me with them on the Glade Top Trail, but I had to turn them down because I had O.E.S. Monday night and I was getting ready for it.
Carol Moore and Marie Dickey came and picked me up for our O.E.S. meeting where we were honoring Marie Dickey with a surprise birthday card party before our meeting. It was her 90th birthday and Carol and I was suppose to keep her out until everyone got there and if you know Marie, she likes to be there way on time. I think she will forgive us. We ate supper then Marie cut her cake and we had ice cream with it. Marie received 31 cards and 5 she received in the mail.
There were 45 at our Installations of Officers that night.
I received two-tenths of an inch of rain last Tuesday and in town they got a half of an inch.
I went to town that day and got some medicine and filled up with gas.
Vernal Blakey had a disc in his neck operated on Friday morning and he came through the operation just fine. He came home Saturday afternoon.
Wally Jessen was operated on Wednesday and came through it just fine and he came home Friday night.
Lakota Blakey came up Friday morning and stayed with me until two and I took her over to her friend’s house. I stopped by Anita Smith’s and gave her my last five cups of ground pears to make her some pear honey.
Debbie Cederlind came down Friday morning and took Bonnie Phipps and Cecilia Edwards to the Landing in Branson to look around that day. Debbie Cederlind stayed all night with her mother and went back home Saturday evening.
Bonnie said she had a wonderful time, but was tired when she got home.
Mark brought me some more eggs for me and the girls Saturday before noon and then I went over to Anita Smith’s where I got to see my grandson and wife, Chase and Michika Blakey and their two little ones, Blythe who is six and Chesnea who is five. Marsha was there too.
I went over to Marie Dickey’s and Carol Moore’s. Marie and I went to Mountain Grove to their O.E.S. Installation.
I was sorry to hear of the death of Bea Luallen. I was going to go to the flower reading and I got dizzy and couldn’t go. Then on Friday morning I had bread rising and couldn’t make it that morning. I wanted to go and visit with Jerry Luallen because we worked together at Wal-Mart.
My prayers and sympathy go out to that family. My prayers also go out to my church families that have problems. My Lord will take care of them all.
Keep the prayers going for all the sick folks.
My prayers and sympathy to all who have lost a loved one. Lets pray for our leaders and the men and women in the service and their families and the ones in training.
