Diary

Learned today that my grandson, Eric Wolfe, has the dreaded illness, mononucleosis. He tells me that he will be in the house for three weeks or more. We are hoping that his school will give him homework to do so he will not miss out on completing his eleventh year in school.

I intended to to visit Faye Havens today, but I called before going, and there was no answer. I assumed that she may have had a doctor appointment, so I did not go. Later Charlie called me and said that he had gone out to pick up a few things from the grocery story, and Faye did not answer the phone when I called.  I will try to go tomorrow (Tuesday).

Purchased a lamp at K Mart, because the lamp in my bedroom will not stay on. The switch is broken. Yesterday I was at Wal-Mart, and I purchased a new switch. I took off the old switch and wired up the new switch and was ready to install it on the lamp, but then I found that the switch was the wrong size.  I just waited until today and bought a new lamp. I can still use the old lamp shade.

David, Missy, and the girls are in South Carolina on vacation, and I am babysitting with the dogs. I do not like dogs in the house, so this is not a good job for me. I don't trust them when they are outside the house. I am afraid they will go off the property. I don't let them out more than about three times a day and then just for a few minutes.

Read the first part of the story of Joseph in Genesis this morning. I will be teaching on the life of Joseph in our Wednesday evening Bible study.

The weather has been very cool today, but the sun was shining more than half the day. Rain came in late this afternoon. Rain is expected for the next two days.
