Here's to new (and good) experiences.

Yesterday I dropped off my in laws,

Larry and Laurel, at the FW airport

so they could fly to Florida.  Once there,

they will hang out for a few days with

a friend and then drive his car back.

He would rather take the train,

but since he winters there, wants his

car.  They do this exchange twice

a year and he wines and dines

them while they're there.  Must be

nice...Anyway, I had time to kill

between then and church so I stopped

at McDonald's and had a little

breakfast.  While there I got a

text from a woman in my sign class

saying she hoped I would come

to church.  I told her where I

was and that I would be there.  She

waited at the door of the church so I 

would see a familiar face when

I walked in.  Wasn't that so nice

of her?!  So I made her a card:

The flowers on the outside are

embossed in white embossing

powder. I was very happy with

how it turned out.  I'm planning on

going back and I can tell you that

watching her, Colleen, and Pam,

the teacher of one of the classes,

that I am going to get a huge education!

I learned several words just by watching

them sign the songs and later, Pam, the 

service.  So I am excited about learning

more and possibly more quickly.  Although

I wonder how much my brain can hold

in, lol.  I have always considered

by brain a sieve. I have learned so

much in the past year and I want to 

keep learning as long as I can.

I was exhausted yesterday after getting

very little sleep the night before between

the concert and getting up early to

go to the airport.  But I did manage

to get the lawn mowed and weeds

whipped.  I don't mind at all doing

the lawn and now that I have a

dependable self propelled mower,

it went quickly.  I'm not so fond of

weed whipping.  I sprayed all

the stray weeds and will probably

pull them tomorrow.  I don't think

they're quite ready to be pulled yet.

My shoulder must be getting somewhat better

because I was able to pull start the mower.

That was quite a concern last year. Maybe 

someday it will fully heal.  That's what started

the injury in the first place.  When I went to

start my old mower the string quit

working.  I pulled, it stayed.  That was

horrendously painful.  But now I can mow

the lawn, enjoy the sun and get some

exercise.  Looking forward to summer!!!!!
