Dodging the Rain

The sun is shining right now, and I hope it stays that way, but they say it might rain on and off today. I won't let that stop me, I have lots to do. I am going out to Shakopee this morning to take Judy to a doctor's appointment, and then I will go back to Pathways in Uptown, for a class on writing, called "Messages from the Heart". Then I will pick Bonnie up in Blaine and we are going shopping for food for Lois and her family. I took up a collection last night, and am sure it will go a long way at Costco. Bonnie and I will then take it over to Lois's so they will have dinner and then food to snack on all weekend. After that I will come home and pack to go to the cabin for the weekend. Yesterday was really busy too. I went into Pathways for "Healing Touch" and that was really worthwhile. I was really feeling great by the time I left. I also made some connections with the women doing the Healing Touch. I mentioned I worked at ARCC and that we did a lot of Intragrated Health and Healing there, and she said she was on the Board at Pathways, and they had a grant through ARCC to develop one of their classes and they continue to use ARCC to help train their facilitators of that program. She also asked me if I knew Jan Swedberg an RN, and when I started at the college I worked as the secretary to the Director of Nursing, and Jan was one of them. Actually the last I worked for in the Nursing dept. before I went on to Continuing Ed and Customized Training. So you know me, always making connections....well Mary Johnson (the RN who did the Healing Touch) is just like me!! On my way home, I stopped at Kohls to get a pair of sandals that I didn't have to shuffle to keep on my feet, and then got some dinner take-out at Noodles and Company. When I got home, Nicole was here mowing the lawn, and when she was done we got a chance to visit a bit. Always enjoy visiting with my grandkids. She did a few extra things for me while here too. After she left it was time to go to the play. Bonnie drove as far as my house, and then we went together to ARCC parking lot to pick up three more for my car load. Twylla Prather had the other six in her car. We were missing one, but after waiting 15 minutes we left not knowing what happened to her. We made it to Harriet Island without a problem, and then followed the signs till we came upon the showboat. It was a beautiful evening, and so we loved being on the river's edge and seeing all the sights. After the play we made our way back to Blaine and stopped for pie at Bakers Square and then back to ARCC to drop off my passengers. It was a very nice evening, but I realized when I got there that my little bottle of pills I had filled was not in my purse....so I had to survey the group of 11 to find two Tylenol...to tie me over till I got home. I couldn't believe that I ended up getting 1 each from two different people....but it did the trick. When I got home the pill bottle was setting on the counter next to the pill bottles I used to fill it. Darn!!! Well must get moving, Judy will be waiting for me. Love and Prayers, m
