April showers bring May flowers, well, the Azaleas are gone and it isn’t really raining. It is cloudy and very humid though.  I got a little ambitious this morning after breakfast and decided to do a little trimming on the Box Bush hedge in front of Aunt Virgie’s house…

May not be the greatest job in the world but looks a little better.

Aunt Virgie had her hair appointment changed to today so she has to be there by noon.  She was ready to go.  Linda and I had things to do in town, yep at Paw Paw’s. They were supposed to get the microwave in today.  We checked, they checked and sure enough it was there!!!  They were supposed to get on it right after lunch.  There was at least 4 things that needed to be done before we pick it up Monday.  We will see.  We also got a free lunch.  Hamburgers.  I think they have lunch on Friday.  Last Friday we had chicken and deer sausage.  That was good.  Back to the camper.. We will have to pick it up Monday and T.J. talks like he will have it finished.  We didn’t get a call today…..

Connie took Aunt Virgie over to her place after the hair appointment so we went and picked her up.  She had lunch and tonight Linda is fixing Burritos. Steve, Pam and Anna Grace are coming over tonight.  They had an appointment this evening to check out an Assisted Living place not far from here.  They got here about 7PM.  Very good reports on the Assisted Living place.  They told Aunt Virgie about it and she seems to be for the idea of moving.  I think we were all surprised about that.  Anna Grace is really an encourager.  She was really pumping up “Grandma” on the place. We will go over Sunday afternoon with Steve, Pam, Aunt Virgie and probably Rick and Connie to check it out.  Aunt Virgie really wants to see it for herself before moving in which is good.

Anna Grace is cutting and serving cake with strawberries and cool whip and/or ice cream.  Had a great supper.  Aunt Virgie really liked it!!

She posed for this picture but she really did lick her plate and I didn’t have the camera.   Isn’t she a sweet thang?  We played cards for a little bit but the time went by so fast we only played a half game of zilch.  Linda won.

Now here are a couple of exciting pictures!!!  I have to send this picture to my brother Ed. He is the Maytag repairman and years ago I was with him working on a washing machine or dish washer and he found one of the plastic things in the pump which stopped it.  Kind of looks like a large guitar pick.  He couldn’t figure out what it was and I told him I had seen one of these before but couldn’t remember where.  About 2 or 3 years later I remembered and told him but not sure he believed me.  Well, here’s proof! Voila!  Cheap guitar pick!!  Anyway, have to go, I have 3 days waiting to post on the blog and can’t get online long enough to post them.  McDonald’s is a sure place though…..Bye yall…
