About time to change my nail color. Got all the clocks turned ahead and the striking clock to strike on time, so I feel like a big success.
Had the best week last week. Rich and Cindy took me along to Springfield to see Sarah in a gymnastic competition. She placed 1st in her age group and got a medal. We stayed over night and got to go through the remodeled Bass Pro shop.. It is amazing.
Then one day I walked over the Osage Terrace-just across the parking lot. Caught the 9:25 bus to Scotsdale in Rogers--transferred to the Roger's bus. The buses wait for each, other so no long wait out in a parking lot. Got off at Walmart at 9:50 and walked to dad. I had counted my steps at the Gardens, and the walk was less than 4 rounds around the Gardens, which I make 8 of, every day and some times more. He was sleeping the whole time I was there, so I only stayed about 1/2 hour. Went back to Walmart and caught the 10:45 bus back to Scotdale. Caught the other bus back to the Gardens in time for the noon lunch. Oh--was that ever nice. It will be a fun ride to see all the changes in the scenery .
I had gotten rid of the car to Miranda also last week, and am happy not to have it any longer. I feel very good that I have extra money now to spend as I see fit. The main reason though is I'm happy not to be the one driving in this heavy traffic. It's getting worse every month. Most of the times cars are lined up 3 blocks long. I just try to stay in the outside lane -keep the speed limit-and try not to do anything foolish.
Then Sunday, Earlene , my friend at Osage Heritage, took me along when she went to church at our old church on 26th St. She dropped me off at dad about 9, and picked me up again at 11:50 . I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich with coffee, before church, with dad. All went so well. I had looked into a lot of things before hand and am very satisfied with the outcome.
Now for the best news. The transit bus gave me 20 free tickets-so it doesn't cost me a thing to take it during the month 20 times. Then by the 25th of that month I just call and ask for 20 more. What a deal! Earlene doesn't want anything-for she says if she is going any way for herself I may ride along. She will call each time she goes to Rogers. She goes every Wed. and almost every Sun. God sure is good to me. I feel so good about not having the car any longer and I surely will see more of the cities than I did when I drove. Then it was straight to dad and back again.
Reading lots of books and watching college basketball lately. No dull minutes.
