My first week at work

Boy have I ever been having sore muscles from sweeping and mopping the floors at this new job. I forgot how sore I would be. I was doing the granny shuffle this week after I get home.
The job is general cleaning but a lot of mopping. The mop is an industrial type so that does not help with it being heavy. Tonight I was also cleaning a warmer that they put dough in to rise. It has several shelves and there was a lot of stuff on the shelves. I did not get it all done so will finish it on Monday. After I get home I feel like I have had a bath in donut scent. You would not think that it would do that since I do not work with the dough and all but guess it is in the air so much that it lingers for a long time.

I received a call from friend in Fla. that I had not talked to in years. We were discussing old times and laughing up a storm. It sure was great to hear from Dan once again. My brother use to go with his sister. One time his sister and I went up stairs and looked down on another sister as her and her boyfriend were right below us. She was ready to shoot us when she found out. We had a big laugh over that. Then one time the boyfriend left his army uniform and guess who tried it on. Me. We knew that he was going to be coming at a certain time so we went out on the porch and she laid her head on my shoulder. The look on his face when he thought someone else had come and taken over was priceless. After he realized it was me then he laughed.

I received a note from my neice that lives in Maryland the other day that she is going to go to South Africa on a tour. She and her husband went to Greece and Turkey this past summer and the summer before that they went to another country. I cannot remember the name of it. I wish that I could go along with her as I think that it would be interesting to see other places. She has also been to England and Ireland. Guess it is in the genes as my folks liked to travel. They always wanted to travel after they retired but Daddy's health failed so they couldn't.

Yesterday I baked about 6 different kinds of muffins and 3 loaves of bread to take to the church school fund raiser. I tried to bake a pineapple upside down cake but we will not discuss that. LOL. Use your imagination. Smile.

Take care and will talk at you again.

God Has Answered Prayer

Yesterday was my first day to work. Yes God has answered prayer and I got a part time job working for my cousin cleaning the bakery after hours. It will be about 3-4 hours an evening Monday - Friday. I was thrilled when she called and wanted to know if Richard and I wanted it. So since Richard is working at the butcher shop part time, I will be doing it.

We have been fighting colds and sore throats. Richard is at the doctor now because he was up last night with the coughing and etc. He has not been to a doctor in 2 years so when I suggested that he go and see about this he was ready. So I knew he was not feeling very good.

Thanks for all the prayers.

Me again

I am learning how to do this by asking Stephanie and then coming home and see if I get it right.
I have sure enjoyed getting acquainted with these blogs. My son sleeps during the day time as he works at night so there fore I have to be rather quiet. You that know me knows that is VERY hard for me to do. So this does in handy.

I have been asking God to supply my need and He has never failed one time. Being that I am on a fixed income it is wonderful to depend upon Him in so many ways. This past week a neighbor had come in with 2 girls around 8 and 9 and wanted to know if I wanted to watch them for about a half an hour to an hour every Friday night. I jumped at it and thank God for supplying some of my needs. These girls needs lots of love and attention as the father has them now because the mother was drinking and doing drugs. Who knows what else. So if you think of it I would appreciate your prayers in trying to help them.

We had a quiet holiday season. The kids were tired from working a lot of over time at work so they just wanted peace and quietness. We had gotten Matthew the weekend before Christmas Day so we celebrated when he was here. Doesn't kids make Christmas? He got so excited over the toys that all of us had gotten him. I really thanked Tom and Sharon( my brother and sister in law) for the noise maker that they got. They got him a race track with a couple of cars to go with it. Bless their heart for this. LOL

Today we had 2 GREAT sermons at church. Rev Nichols preached on restitutions and Rev Spencer preached on the things that God will do and not do. I appreciated both of their messages.

This morning I came home from church and here was Steven in the bathroom with Martha trying to shave his head. Oh dear. The reason for this is that the clippers went on the fritz and he did not want to pay for a trip to the barber. If he did not look different to say the least. It was hard to keep from laughing. But it is his head not mine. Oh well it will grow out real soon.

I hope to hear from you all real soon.
