    Man am I tired.  I ran errands and did house work all day. I even planted some plants. I meant to make it to the Cottonwood Art Festival which is in Richardson today and tomorrow, but I ran out of time and energy.  I also didn't make it to Dillard's big 75% off sale.  There just isn't time on a Saturday to get all the stuff done.  Not that it's any big loss not making it to Dillards.  I mean it's hard to fit the clothes I have in one closet, so do I really need any more?  Notice I said NEED not want.  Tomorrow will be church, three open houses and a piano concert in the evening so tomorrow is pretty well already taken up. 


    One of my errands today was to go to the book store.  Since I just finished "A Walk to Remember" and "The Rescue" a week earlier, both by Nicolas Sparks, and since I like both of those, I went out and bought "The Notebook" and "The Wedding" today. 


    In case you're wondering . . . it's FIVE DAYS and counting till this year's sister trip. 


    Thought for the day:  The older you get, the tougher it is to lose weight, because by then your body and your fat are really good friends.

    It's a real shame that so many of the old buildings in these small towns are just left to slowly deteriorate.  This could be a very striking business or even a unique home, if only someone had the money and the inclination to preserve it.  But then, I'm sure there's not that much money changing hands in a sleepy little town like this, and that is what it would take . . . money, and lots of it.


    I went to the clinic and I do have a sinus infection, so I'm on an antibiotic.  I just gotta be 100% healthy by vacation.  One would hate to feel lousy on ones vacation, you know.
