This is George and me at Bob Evans Rest. I found out a grade school friend was coming to Ohio from Va. so I set up a luncheon for the (kids) we went to grade school with. I don't think I have to say how many years ago that was. I printed pictures from our school days and my son, Eric, said? Mom, will they actually wear them? Yes they will and yes they did.
On the right, is Vicki. She is the one who came from Va. She used to live across the street from me, and growing up, we were best friends. When we think we have problems in our lives, we always hear someone who is suffering far more.
Betty, on the left has just had surgery for brain cancer. She is in radiation also, and now is starting chemo pills. Our prayers will be going out to Betty.
This couple is somewhat like George and me. Dick and Carole now live in North Carolina, and also came up for the luncheon. They were sweethearts in grade school. Carole moved to NC after the 8th grade. Both married others and were divorced and now are very happily marriedto each other. A happy ending story.
The lighting , too much of it was not kind to this picture of Anna and her husband, and the picture below of Patty and her husband. 
I should have closed the blinds, or asked them to move for the pictures.
This is Barbara and her husband. We were so happy to see everyone again.
This is Patty, on the left and both Donna and John were in our classes and are now married. We all had a good time. We will do it again soon I'm sure.
When I went to New York, my Grandchildren taught me to play Wii games. I loved it, even though I had to use my left hand since it was only a week after surgery.
Last weekend, it was on sale at Target, so I bought it. Eric, Bill, Becky and I played it and had lots of fun. I only have the sports games that came with it. Later I am sure I will add new things to it. We have been bowling, golfing and playing ball.
This is my little character. George is the one behind me with the blue hat on. We were bowling tonight. Bill has been having fun making little people. He made Heidi, she plays ball with us. He dressed her in Green, since she is an elf. He made all the family and some made up people also.
If you have not played this, I highly recommend it. It is great family fun.
Today is my Granddaughter Kristy's birthday. She never eats ice cream, and when Mitch was in Iraq and she was here, she decided she would. Mitch enjoyed the picture when she sent it to him. I hope your birthday is wonderful, cause you are.
Monday night, I couldn't sleep. I got up about 1am and went upstairs to my sewing room. I had, some time ago, put my Acer laptop up there since it just would not work. I bought a new battery and tried that, I had my cord repaired, and nothing was working. Well, I had the old battery in and decided to plug it in and try again. It came on, but only for a minute. I removed the battery, put the new one in, left it plugged in and went to bed. The next morning, YEAH, it is working. My son, Bill, came over yesterday and did all the updates and yes, so far so good. I am using it now.
You can see how much smaller my little mini is. When I talk to Heidi, it raps. She says I can record as a rapper. I could not multi task with it. I bought it for travel, so maybe now it can go back to being a traveler. I hope I didn't speak too soon, I walked away for a few minutes and it shut down. I am back on my mini again but will try later.
The craft show is over and not as good as I hoped it would be. I did not sell any
I sold about half of the bears, a lot of them to my neices who came. 
I covered boxes turned upside down to hold some. At one time someone tried to open the doors behind the tree and we caught them in time.
Bill took this picture with no warning, so I was right in front of my daughter in law Becky, who helped me all day. I decided to wear pink, and she did too and it was not planned.
I sold most of my hats. I think I have one set let and two or three hats. No Heidi, the witch bear did not sell. 
The ponchos could not be displayed well in such a small space. I was in front of the board for Military family members in our church. The small picture is Mitch, my Grandson and the note he wrote to thank the church for a package they sent to him in Iraq. He is home now thank God.
This is the long view of the table. It was an 8 ft table.
The other end view of the table. They sold chances to win large baskets filled with theme goodies, my DIL, Becky won one of the baskets. It was patriotic. It is really nice and I am so happy she won.
