It's time to blog again. I'm going to tell about some friends from church this time. Ron and Monica moved here a few years ago from Michigan. He does a lot of solos and groups with the choir. She subs on the keyboards and teaches a Sunday School class. His sister will bring his mother down here for the winter soon. His mother is quite dependent but really loves to be here. She has to have someone with her at all times and uses a wheel chair or walker. She even has had to have help in the bathroom for the past couple years and uses oxygen all the time. Monica is a dietician and I don't know what he does. When they decided to move south he wanted to live close enough to go to Lake Gibson Church. It's amazing how many people locate here because of the church.
Roney and Jean are retired and are here half the year and in North Carolina half the year. I've been friends with them almost since I've been coming here. He is retired from pastoring and prior to that he was an accountant with the North Carolina auditor's office, or he was the state auditor. I'm not sure which. They both are very short. She is very neat and usually wears a suit of some sort on Sunday mornings. She worked for an insurance company with the words Woodsmen of America in it. I don't remember the rest of it's name. It's the second marriage for both of them. Their first spouses both died.
The choir is so good here and they look good. On Sunday mornings, all the men wear suits and the ladies are dressed up nicely. This Saturday night is their Christmas musical at 5:00 Central Time. It will be streamed live at www.lakegibsonchuch.com. They will all be dressed in black concert attire and the platform will be very decorated. The director reminds me of Bill Green.
Carl is an usher and has a bad limp caused by a stroke. His wife is also an usher. I don't know her name. He is extremely outgoing and jokes a lot. He always insists that I be first in line because I drive into the parking lot first. I asked him what he is retired from and found out that he was a contractor and traveled all over the Unites States, Canada, Virgin Isles, etc. putting fiber optics together.
Dorothy is also an usher and is always finely dressed. She also is very friendly and has a little dog and lives by herself. She has a daughter who lives somewhere in the north.
Some of you who have been Nazarene's a long time will probably remember this man. Saturday night I asked Jean if she knew his name and she said all she could remember right then was that his first name was Chuck. He has always looked very familiar to me and I didn't know why. All at once I figured it out and asked her if he is Chuck Milhuff, and I was right. He came to Oskaloosa to speak for revival at least once when Pastor Bearden was there and it seems like he was there more than once. This is his home church now.
I think I better call it quits for now. I just about lost the whole thing! Tomorrow night we will be singing carols and eating a bunch of junk at the dining hall. Our building has to take foods for the chocolate fountain. But today we found out they don't have a fountain and they thought we could use a small fondue pot! We found an appliance that has three "slow cookers" that we are going to use. We have marshmallows, pineapple, strawberries, and pretzels to use with it. People in other buildings will bring sandwiches, cookies, candy, and chips and dip.
Last Tuesday evening our host and hostess got a call that their 13 year old grandson had been shot in the head. They are in Huntsville, Alabama now. He died and his funeral was Saturday. Elmo's sister died in the Toronto area and he went there today for her funeral. He'll come home frozen tomorrow! He usually leads our singing at Monday night prayer and praise time so we had to punt tonight.
Have a good day/evening. I hope I'm not too boring!

Saturday, November 23, 2013
Okay, I had two paragraphs written and it jumped to another page that I hadn't even seen before. I'll try again. I thought I had already written since I had arrived here, but I guess not.
I arrived here about 11:45 on November 12. By 12:00 I was on my way with some others to Plant City to ABC Pizza. They have AYCE spaghetti on Monday and Tuesdays. I don't care for restaurant spaghetti usually, so I got a large pizza and ate one piece of it and put the rest in my freezer. I didn't see anyone get seconds on spaghetti since the portions are so huge.
The apartment complex I live in has 40 units - 20 up and 20 down. It's on the Florida Holiness Association campground. There are also dormitories (some with heat and AC and some without) and a campground. Most of the campers are permanent, but they can only live in them during the winter. I can be here November 1 though March 31 and have to pay rent for all those months whether I'm here or not. The rest of the year it is closed. My complex has laundry facilities, a game room, and a puzzle room.
Now I'll tell about some of the residents. The man two doors down from me is 80 and has outlived 2 wives. This morning I saw him out hanging up laundry! He golfs almost everyday and goes to the game room at night. He's from North Carolina and is Troy.
The couple next to me is new this year and they are from Ohio. The man is just like a neighbor of ours when we farmed. He has to be moving all the time. This morning he was out pulling weeds. I call him by the name of the man at home whose initials are SK. You kids will know who that is. They are Leroy and Marilyn. She goes to the puzzle room a lot. He roams looking for something to do or eat. He evidentally burns it all off. He also goes to the game room some.
The lady on the other side of me is from Pennsylvania and was here two years ago and is now back.
Her name is Carol. She goes to the game room most nights and has outlived two husbands. She worked for a school district and was in charge of payroll.
Elmo lives upstairs and is from Ontario about 50 miles north of the Minnesota/North Dakota border. He also golfs most days and goes to the game room most evenings. He also plays guitar and helps with Monday evening prayer/praise time. He's 82 and takes the stairs 2 at a time sometimes. In Canada he golfs 5 days a week. His wife has been gone 18 years. He was in sales.
Howard and Joyce live downstairs and are from Ohio, I think. They are the assistant host and hostess so sometimes they help out with miscellaneous things. They both go to the game room in the evening and she goes to the puzzle room in the daytime. I think he is 74. Joyce also helps with Prayer an Praise on Monday evenings.
Tom and Lois live upstairs and are from Pennsylvania. He's a retired trooper. She goes to the puzzle room and game room. He goes to the game room and is an avid reader. You seldom see him without his Kindle.
Ella just arrived for the first time yesterday and is from Michigan, I think. Her husband has been gone 17 years. I can't imagine that. Seven years is way too long for me!
There's another new couple this year whose names I can't remember. I also can't remember where they're from. They live upstairs and she goes to the puzzle room. He had heart surgery in July and is still doing therapy from it.
Wayne is from Canada and lives upstairs. He's divorced and goes to the game room most evenings and golfs some days.
Harlan and his wife have been coming here for many years and at one time lived in Lakeland. I don't remember where they're from. She goes to the puzzle room a lot. He is very large and she is small. He was a trucker and she did office work.
Carolyn is on the ground floor and I don't remember where she's from. Her husband died late this past summer. He was in charge of Prayer and Praise time and was a retired pastor.
I don't know where Jane is from, but she lives on the ground floor also. I think her husband has been gone quite a while. She goes to the game room a lot and also is trying to be helpful to Carolyn.
There are a few others here, but I don't really know them because they don't go to the game room. When everyone is here the building will be about 40% Canadian. They are mostly from Ontario. In fact a high percent of non Florida license plates are from either Ontario or Michigan here in Lakeland.
Tonight is the first of the season at Lake Gibson church. It is the Talley's and will be streamed live. The web address is www.lakegibsonchurch.com. It starts at 6 EST and will probably come on line 15 minutes or so early. Check it out.
It's been in the 70's and 80's since I got here, but tomorrow and Monday it's supposed to only be in the 60's and rainy. Now, let's see if I can get this to post.

I'm in Lake City, Florida tonight. It's 10 miles south of where I-10 and I-75 intersect. It is very nice outside. I got here a little late because I had a problem to take care of today. Yesterday as I was driving along I heard a big noise in the back. When I looked in the mirror I saw that my clothes bar had fallen. This morning I had to buy some wire and fix it and then get everything hung up again.
The concerts in Fort Worth were very good. They were held at Southwest Baptist Seminary and it is a very nice campus in a very bad part of Fort Worth. A friend of the president of the seminary said he had told him that about 1/2 the people on campus are armed. I don't know if that was employees or employees and students.
I had a nice visit with Diane Altes. Her daughter is a friend of Jodi's and her brother is the pastor of the church I go to in Florida. The church's web address is lakegibsonchurch.com. If you look at it, you will find a listing of the concerts on Saturday and Sunday nights in the winter. They are all streamed live. They are all nationally known Southern Gospel groups. Keep in mind that they are in the eastern time zone. If you get snowed in, you could watch the Sunday morning and evening services live too.
I'm about 2 1/2 hours from Lakeland, so I should be there sometime in the late morning tomorrow.
Have a nice day!

Saturday we had a ladies tea and it was nice for a tea. There was left-over chicken salad, so last night they had some sort of little things that looked like a cross between flatbread and buns with the chicken salad on it with chips downstairs in the game room. I sat and listened to a man telling about immigrating here in 1922 from Persia. He was 3 and they arrived in New England. They were informed that the quota for Persia was already full and they'd have to return to Persia. But since his dad was a minister, he could stay but his mom and the kids had to return. His dad contacted a brother of his in Gary (Indiana, I assume) and he too was a minister. He somehow worked it out for the entire family to go there. Their plan was to go to California, but that never happened. It was a very interesting story.
Phyllis and Ila were here most of the day yesterday and I'm going to meet them at Parksdale tomorrow morning. I need more strawberries and oranges and some celery.
I got a shot of cortisone in my hip joint on Friday and it is improving slowly.
Triumphant was very good Saturday night. A group called Old Paths was here Sunday night and they were okay.
Have a good day/night.

Hello! Is anyone reading this, or am I just doing this to keep myself busy? Let me know if you are reading it!
Karen Peck was in a movie with Dolly Pardon and someone else who's name I didn't recognize. The movie is out now and has a two word title, but I can't remember the name of it. Karen is the director of a choir that won the competition last year, so they are the host in the movie. She even has a speaking part besides doing a song for it.
This was part of the conversation tonight:
Karen Peck: "I'm different than Dolly Parton."
Charles Kirby: "Yeah."
Open mouth. Insert foot. Dr. Kirby's complexion changed colors.
I'm really having trouble walking now, so Wednesday can't get here soon enough. I may have to start using the walker again.
Have a good day/evening and let me know if you are reading this.

I see it's been a week since I've done this. Let's see. I've seen 5 concerts since then and played a few games of cards. Tonight's concert had some long distance guests that I shook hands with. They are from Belfast, Northern Ireland. The Hoppers sang at their church in Belfast. I seem to sit in the area where a lot of special guests sit. Last week the extended family of the boy who recited the book of Ephesians sat in front of me and this week it was the couple from Belfast.
I also got an appointment with an orthopodist for Wednesday afternoon. The lady who recommended him goes to him and also is a nurse.
The groups I've seen are Legacy 5, Ivan Parker, Tribute, Larry Ford, and tonight the Hoppers. I had never seen Larry Ford live before and he was very personable.
The card games played here are Red Trump and Donut. Donut is sort of a cut throat form of Red Trump and was created by the son of a man here from Manitoba. His name is Elmo, but I haven't met Bert or Ernie yet! I'd never heard of Red Trump before.
I've gone to chapel once and probably won't support it as often as recommended. Keep in mind that I'm staying in a holiness campground.
Recently I've had several very serious situations to be praying about. Have a good day/evening.

Last night I went to a concert. Keep in mind that Bill Bailey has several hundred booster club members, pastors a congregion of several hundred and promotes concerts all over the southeast. I walked in the door and he looked at me and said, "Miz Huff go over there and tell her to get your packet out of my briefcase for you." Last year he needed me to help him with my name at the luncheon and as soon as I said it he said, "Iowa." I got my packet and went on in to find my reserved seat on the front row two seats from the center. That was close enough to have a lot of eye contact. On the venue were TonyGore, whom I had never seen in person before, The Perry's, and Gold City. I was also close enough to notice that one of the men had evidently hung his pants on a wire hanger twice. He should probably use a plastic hanger or hang them by the cuffs! Tracey Stuffle looks great and says he never deviates from his prescribed diet.
Tonight I went to supper at church and then the Legacy Five Concert. They were unloading when I got there, and I had to notice that none of them were wearing jeans or t-shirts. Scott Howard was in great shape and had the audience in stitches.
Before the concert we had a real treat. Two years ago one of the usher's great-grandsons recited the entire book of James. This year he recited the entire book of Ephesians. The lady beside me followed along in the bible and she said he missed one entire verse, but the rest was perfect! He's probably 13 or so now. What a gift! Two years ago, he merely recited it, but this time he used a lot of hand gestures. It was almost like he was Paul talking to us.
Have a good evening!

Well, I went to the game room to play card games tonight. One was called Red Trump and the other Donut. They are very similar and are played with Rook cards. The bad thing is that I kept thinking that it was quite recently that Mom was going to Arizona and playing cards in the evenings. At this young age am I becoming my mother?!
I talked to a man from Ohio who goes to church with a couple named Bob and Linda Huff! What a small world it is!
Well, I'm not sure I need to play games every night, but it was okay for tonight. Of course tomorrow night I'm going to a concert with the Perry's and Gold City. Definitely not a time to be playing cards then!

Well, I guess it's time to report in for this year. I arrived here on Wednesday and Margee and family moved me in Thursday. I'm at the Florida Holiness Association Campgrounds in an upstairs apartment.
It was so good to see so many familiar people this morning at church. Saturday night Legacy 5 will be there and I'm looking forward to it. You can watch it live at 5:00 Central time at Lakegibsonchurch.com.
Please continue to pray for Bill Allison and his family. Times are tough there and Satan is attacking from all sides.
It's been nice and warm here but a cold front is supposed to come through tonight making next week cooler.
Have a good day/night. It's 8:30 PM here.

Blackwoods - Browns
The Blackwoods were here Saturday night and they were really on top of it! I noticed when they drove in that they had a new bus. Well, that led to a very funny story. I can't remember the bass singer's name, but you know him. Well he was driving and had pulled in at a truck stop to sleep at 2 or so in the morning before they picked up the piano player in Jacksonville. They had just gotten the bus and he assured us that it has all the bells and whistles. One of the amenities is that the interior doors open and shut with air pressure. The driver was the only one awake and wasn't sure what all to shut off and didn't want to run the battery down. So he just shut off everything to be on the safe side. Jimmie has the biggest room in the back of the bus because he's the oldest (he's had his Medicare card a few years) and needs room for all his pill bottles! We were supposed to be able to figure out why it was that he woke up at 4:30 and needed to go to another room. But he couldn't open his door because the air pressure was shut off. He has a window about 18"x18" in his room, so he went out the window. The outside door of the bus opens by a keypad, so he opened it, went in, visited the other room and headed back to his room. Well, when he was trying to get out of his room, he had inadvertantly locked the door! Now the only back into his room was through the window, so he went in to the truck stop and asked the lady to borrow their ladder so that he could climb back in his window. He hadn't thought about calling the cell phone of the driver to get him to turn on the air pressure to get him out in the first place. It was good for a very good laugh.
Sunday night the Brown's were here and they had two announcements. Just last week daughter/sister Jessica and husband Nick Trammel decided to join the group on the road. I believe they will start next month, but they were with them Sunday night too. The group sang a song that Nick and Jessica had written and also one that the oldest boy had written. Their next cd will be entirely composed of music written by the Browns! Each of them has written something for it. Their second big announcement was that Andrew is shaving now! His older brother, of course, claimed that he's been using the same razor for 6 months. Andrew is really a ham! He has thousands of girl friends all across the nation, most of them over 65. When his brother was telling that, Andrew was busy blowing kisses to the ladies in the audience.
The weather here has been great. I sure wish I had a place to walk when I'm home like I have here.
When Larry and Ann Ames were here, they ate at T.G.I. Friday's, and as they were leaving, they were given a card for $10 off their next visit, with no strings attached. Since they weren't going to be here, they gave it to me. I had dinner one day last week for 42 cents. As I was leaving, they gave me another card, so I guess I'll have to go back again if I can afford it!
It seems like I'm getting acquainted with more people this year than I did last year. Thursday I'm going to another town to a concert with some people I sort of met last year and have gotten to know this year. I invested in a collapsible stool to use when I'm waiting in lines. It paid for itself in one session of line-waiting! On a side note, one evening in line there were 3 Linda's and a Lynn in a row. I also have talked to a Lynda at Lake Morton a couple of times. By the way, the black swans still haven't hatched, but the parents are a lot more active than they were, so it's the concensus that they might begin to hatch in the next day or so. They have 5 eggs. Mother swan hatched a baby goose 2 weeks ago and it is still with them. Today I got directions as to where to go to seen alligators in the wild.
I think you're tired of reading, so I'll sign off. Have a nice day!

I see that it's been 20 days since I last blogged, so it must be time to do it again. One of the neat things about seeing all these groups is that I get to see a lot of composers of famous music. For instance, I saw the original Couriers. They have been singing together with the same 3 men for 50 years. One of them is the composer of "The Lighthouse." Among other groups who sang that were the Smiley's. I don't remember how many songs he has composed, but you can imagine that in 50 years it's been a lot. One of the ones he's composed recently that I think might become quite well known is called, "The Next Time I Get Married, I'm going to Be the Groom." It, of course, is about the marriage of the church and the lamb.
The Collingsworths were here this weekend and they were excellent. We also had a pianist from Denver Sunday night who was quite good and refreshing. He worked for Denver First Church of the Nazarene for 35 years before going on the solo circuit.
The weather has been great the past week or so. It's been in the 80's every day. Of couse it's still cold in the sanctuary of the church!
Last Wednesday we had 4 missionaries. Two were from Argentina and their daughter and her husband are going to Papau, New Guinea. Their presentation was quite unique.
Last Thursday I picked up Margee and Ward in Sanford and we went to see the shuttle go up. That was a very neat experience. When I saw John Glenn go into orbit, I never dreamed of all that was to come with the space program. I certainly didn't think I'd ever see anything go up to go into space. In fact I remember wondering if John Glenn would actually come down!
Saturday I took Margee and Ward to their cruise ship and Saturday I will pick them up and take them to their motel again. Then they'll fly home on Sunday.
I talked to some people from New Hampshire Saturday. That was the first time I'd talked to anyone from there. I also talked to a banker's wife from Michigan. He is on the national board of a group of community banks and often goes to Washington, D.C. for meetings. She said it isn't as much fun as it was a few years back, but she's hopeful that it will get better.
Have a good day/evening!

Bill Bailey Winter Music Convention
Where do I begin?! Last week was very good and extremely busy. At 9 am we had fellowship time with coffee, juice, and donuts. At 10 am we had chapel. Tuesday and Thursday mornings Randy Perry was the speaker and he and his wife sang. He is really good. He's about 2 inches taller than Libby and so was their dad. He was quite excited because, since he is in the ministry, he seldom gets to see Libby and her family. They were there Thursday and Friday nights, so they got to spend some time together. He even sang their finale with them on Thursday night. Libby and their son and one of their singers were at chapel on Thursday too. It was sort of neat to see them in very casual clothes and Libby's hair was combed, but not really fixed like it is on stage and she wasn't wearing makeup.
Wednesday Jerry Goff spoke and he and his wife, Jan, sang. He, too, is very good. He explained that the more pure gold is, the softer it is and thus, the streets in heaven will be very easy to walk on because of it being so soft and pliable! It's also affected by pressure and something else that I don't remember.
Friday Big Mo spoke and he also sang and did the Burrial of Jesus story. I had never seen him before and he is, indeed, huge. He's lost 66 pounds, and I have no idea what he looked like before that. His wife was also there and she is quite slim and trim. Their son travels with them also, and he played an electronic device that I had never seen before. He demonstrated some of the things it will do and several people looked at it after chapel. It is about 15 x 15 by 6 inches tall and is made by Roland. I think it is called a palmmaster or palmsonic or something like that. It is a little like electronic drums, but way more. He played it with his hands, fingers, and palms.
Saturday Mark Trammel spoke and his quartet also sang. I really think they were better in chapel than in the arena in the evening. That fourth voice certainly makes a difference! I don't think I've mentioned that the room where chapel is held probably holds 300 and was full every morning.
The matinee was at 1:30 in the afternoon and was held in the arena that holds 3800. It was never full. Tuesday it was Forgiven Trio and Palmetto State Quartet. They aren't favorites of mine and I went in about half way through.
Wednesday's matinee was Ronnie and Michael Booth, and Jim Brady doing some of their solos and them all singing together too. Of course Michael was high as a kite!
Thursday's matinee was Archie Watkins and the Smokey Mountain Reunion and I hadn't heard them before and don't really need to hear them again. Most of you know that I don't like twang!
Friday's matinee was Tony Gore and the Pfeiffers. Tony is okay, and the Pfeiffers are suburb. I have never heard anyone play the trumpet as well as John does. I've never heard him off pitch at all and I'm sure he could outplay Al Hirt with ease! Mary Jane and Candy are excellent on the alto and tenor saxes too.
The Saturday matinee was Young Quartet Day with Soul'd Out and Driven Quartets. I skipped it, but I was told that Driven was excellent. A person has to have some sleep sometime!
The evenings were when the real music took place. It started at 7 and lasted until between 11 and 11:30 every night. I usually parked the van at 8:30 am or so and didn't move it until after the evening concert. I just went to sit and "rest" in it between events.
Monday evening was the first event and had The Blackwood Brothers, who flew in from their Arizona tour, Ivan Parker, the Chuck Wagon Gang, the Freemans, and the Dove Brothers. Of course the Blackwoods were my favorite. They really helped me out after Bob died.
Tuesday night was really good! It was the Booth Brothers, Legacy Five, Greater Vision, and the three of them joining for their Jubilee! I'm not sure which of them was the most wound up! The sound of them all together was really something else!
Wednesday evening was the Collingsworth Family, the Booth Brothers again, Brian Free and Assurance, and the Browns from LeMars, Iowa. Kim Collingsworth plays her own personal Yamaha piano wherever she goes. Lake Gibson Church has one just like it and they paid thirty some thousand for it. They list for $100,000. I imagine either someone gave Kim hers or they got a very good deal on it. Their whole family is just fabulous!
Thursday night was the Perry's, Triumphant, Jeff and Sheri Easter, Karen Peck and New River, the Dixie Echos, and Jerry Goff was the host/MC. Tracy Stuffle has lost 70 pounds since his heart surgery and Libby has been losing too.
Friday night was the Kingsmen, Gold City, the Perrys again, the Talley Trio, and Tribute Quartet. When Tribute had the bus fire a couple of weeks ago, they lost every thing except their sound equipment and some paperwork.
Saturday night was the Inspirations, the McKamey's, the Mark Trammel Quartet, the Bowling Family and the Crist Family. I even sat through the one group on that list that I really do NOT like at all. Wasn't I nice? The Bowling Family had a brief video about their bus wreck. It was quite impressive. I'd never seen them before, and they were pretty good. When he woke up he was on a stretcher on the highway and heard a helicopter. He also heard a paramedic say his BP was 80 over 40 and he though that didn't sound too good.
Thursday noon there was a dinner for all the booster club member and several spoke at it. Poor Libby stepped up the to podium to speak and informed Bill that next time she needs a box to stand on! Her head was barely over the top of it! I talked to her a little bit after the dinner, and she said Tracy was not well in June when they went on vacation. She said they were at the beach and she carried everything, because he could barely carry himself along. She said that when they were at the Brumley Fest in August where I saw them the doctors were thinking he had a hiatal herea. Their son does sound for them.
The meal was prepared by Michala Brown. She went to chef school in France. She also does all their violin arrangements, sings, plays violin, and does all the book work for the Browns. I'll have to say that she's a very good chef. She also writes a column every month for Singing News.
They announced that next Ernie Haas and Signature Sound will most likely be at the Convention. It will be February 6-11. I have it on my calendar!
Last night at church it was the Couriers and the Calvarymen. I hadn't heard either of them, and they were good. The Couriers have been singing 50 years and are still the original singers. I was in the parking lot eating a sandwich about 4:15 and some other people were there visiting when one of them came over to my van and told me he was hungry and could he have a bite of my sandwich! I told him no and visited with him and another guy for a while. I later found out that they were two of the Calvarymen! Before I went in, a little sports car pulled in next to me that was a bit unusual. It was bright yellow, blue, and red! The driver was a man alone and appeared to be in his 70's! When I got out to go in he got out too and I told him that was a pretty snappy car for someone in his age group to be driving. He said it made him feel 10 years or perhaps 40 years younger. It was a Mazda and the only one like it in the world. I hadn't seen it before, but he seems to go to Lake Gibson Church.
Last Monday when I went to Palmetto, I went to the beach for a while and parked next to a BMW with the top down. I never did see anyone around it to see what they looked like. That was the only time I've been to the beach so far this winter. But, I'll go again.
This was Bill Bailey's 25th anniversary of promoting concerts. He started when he was 16 and his first group was the Perry's. He mowed yards to get the money to do it and always paid the artists when they got off the bus. He also pastors a very large church that he planted. I have no idea what he pays out for the Winter Convention. I'm sure that Manatee Civic Center isn't cheap for six days!
I've probably bored you long enough for a while, so I'd better proof this and sign off. Have a good day!

Well, I've been hearing about huge sales at JC Penny's, so I decided to see if there was one here. On line it said it was in the Lakeland Square Mall. People had talked last year about the mall on 98, but I assumed it was what I would call a strip mall on the east side of 98. Since I stay a block off 98, it's very familiar to me. So I asked for a map to it online. It was on the west side of 98! So I went there and it is about 4 or5 blocks from me. Sort of a small mall - the anchors are Burlington Coat Factory, JC Penny, Sears, Dillards's and Macy's! So I went to Penny's. I looked at cardigans, and they were all about hip length or shorter in the back and knee length or longer in the front! Needless to say, I didn't buy those. Then there were long-sleeved tops with scoop necks. Now if you want long sleeves to keep you warm, why in the world would you want a scoop nece?! Not only that, but they were way more scooped than I would consider wearing. I did find one top that would have been alright except for the HUGE print that it was. It would have made me look like I were the size of this room!
About the faucet - Lee said it might have gotten just a little ice in it and it was weak before that. He's going to fix it at his convenience.
I was flipping through channels and ran on to Little House on the Prairie, and I think it must be one of the first ones. It is Laura's and Mary's very first day of school ever! Guess what? Laura and Nellie Olson got into a fight!
I don't know how much you have heard about this. Monday morning two St. Petersburg police officers were murdered as they were assisting a Federal agent serve a warrant. This was on the day of funerals for two Miami officers who were killed in a similar situation. I go to Breakfast Club on Fridays, and the man who organizes that goes to the same church as one of the officers. Their funerals will be there Friday. One of the officers was off duty and just wanted to go help out! Quite a sad time in the area. I'm about 30 or 40 miles east of there.
Have a nice day. It's about 65 or 70 here today and we got 2.23 inches of rain yesterday evening and last night. It's been very dry here, so it was quite welcome.

Of course The Taylors were great tonight. I even made the www a couple of times I'm told. Now I've been around the world tonight! The oldest Taylor is 23 and sings tenor. The bass and alto are 21-year-old twins. The soprano is 19 and is the spiritual leader of the group. She recently started driving their van pulling their trailer and when she drives, they all pray a lot! They also have 2 older brothers.
I talked to two couples from the Cedar Rapids area tonight that I met last year. They live at the Florida Holiness Association Campground where I have my name in.
It was nice to hear that I now need a new faucet in the kitchen and Lee has the dehumidifier and a fan running in the basement to dry up some carpet. I'm a little concerned about a fan running unattended. Perhaps I'll mention it to him.
Have a nice day/evening!

Tonight's concert was by the Crist family and was very good. If you are interested, all the concerts are streamed live on Saturday and Sunday nights. Go to www.lakegibsonchurch.com and scroll down and you will see the schedule as well as the area to click to watch live. Tomorrow night is the Taylors. They are 2 sisters and their 2 brothers who are all under 25 and extremely good. Last year the oldest had to drive all night to get the other 3 home so they could take midterms at college. One boy and girl are twins and they have other siblings too.
I learned tonight that (I believe yesterday) Tribute's bus burned completely in Texas. They blew a rear tire and a volunteer fireman was following them and got them to pull over. They wonder if an oil line ruptured and was ignited by a spark. They grabbed paperwork and jumped off the bus. They all threw sound equipment into the median and the bus erupted from rear to front. No one was hurt. It could have been a lot worse if they hadn't been stopped.
Phyllis about the van. It started surging at low speeds on the way down here (like in construction for 50 miles at 40 mph). Lee suggested I check the transmission fluid and it was low and I added up to the normal level. Funny thing, I had the oil changed at a WalMart after it started surging and they checked the box that they had checked the transmission fluid! I'm not sure if it's okay now or not for sure. I pay so much attention, that I'm not sure if it is still surging or if it's just the normal shifting action. I had it to a mechanic and he is supposed to investigate more and get back to me.
I just finished the last of my strawberries, so I guess I need to buy some more! When I came out of the church tonight, it was cold. I was wearing one short sleeved top and two long sleeved tops and needed more!

Last night at church I found out about the people I had been wondering about. The one lady that I referred to as "Josie Kessler" has kidney infection and yesterday started on a different medicine to try to get rid of it. The elderly man with a lot of medical problems was there last night and he hasn't been well enough to come for a while. The third person I had wondered about not being in choir has a brand new baby!
I haven't talked to the lady in charge of the campground apartment I applied for since I've been down here. It really wouldn't be a lot cheaper than here, but it would have activities for me to do. I'll just have to see about contacting her about it again.
Tonight's supper was a bag of 100 calorie popcorn, ants on a log (fruit, vegetable, and protein), and (of course) strawberries.
When I was at the lake today a man said there were baby swans, so I went to try to see them. The parents were black swans and I never did see the babies. They must have been under the mother and the daddy was guarding and I really don't relish the thought of one of them biting me! The people who work for the parks department of Lakeland take the babies when they are very small and raise them and sell them to other parks, etc. The black ones are a lot smaller than the white ones like they have at Forest Cemetery.
Have a good day/evening. Oh, by the way, it is now almost 10 pm here, so we'll see what time it shows when I post it.

Of course Karen Peck and New River were excellent tonight. As I was leaving I saw something that I don't think I'd ever seen before. It was a vehicle with Prince Edward Island plates on it. I had to consult my map to see where that is!
I usually arrive early enough to watch the busses arrive and be unloaded. They almost all wear jeans except Legacy Five who arrived in khakis.
Last night I'll admit it was a little hard as I was watching the Hoppers unload. I had to think about how much Bob always enjoyed helping with loading and unloading. He would really enjoy being here, but I'm sure he is enjoying heaven more than being here.
Have a good day!
