Mother's Cay

Sunday we sang praises to our Lord with the choir in church. It was mother’s day and all the mothers received a carnation distributed by the children. I knew they would not come to the choir loft so I went down to tell them that there were 3 mothers upstairs. They brought them up. One of the parishioners grows asparagus and brought some to church as he does every year. He gives it away for a donation to the building fund. We brought it to the car and then went to a fish restaurant for Mother’s Day dinner. We went to Auto Zone to get some motor oil and then to the grocery for some Nutty Nuggets. We noticed a sale at Goody’s next door and bought 3 shirts for me and a magnetic necklace connector for Evelyn who has trouble connecting her necklaces. We came home and Evelyn went to bed. She had been up for 2 hours last night and has had an upset stomach for a couple of days. I watched the Cubs beat Arizona again. When she got up I made popcorn and we watched some of the basketball playoff game. Evelyn called Linda Waters and talked with her for over an hour. I happened to find a modern version of “The Odyssey” and switched back and forth between it and the ball game. I also called Amtrak to see what it would cost to take the train to Boston for the cruise in August that Evelyn wants to take. I think it will cost more than a plane flight. I have my classmate and fraternity brother looking for transportation for us. We also make a plan to go to a Marriage Encounter gathering next Saturday. Tomorrow morning I meet with the pastor to see if I can be given an assignment so I can be put on the pulpit supply list. We must also go pay for and get our tickets that we bought at the Relay for Life silent auction. I forgot one thing. Emily sent her mother an e-card for Mother’s Day, but she received nothing from Stacy. Perhaps a card is in the mail.
