Aaachoo!!!!

Hi everyone. If you paid attention to my title, you'll know what kind of weekend we're all having here. They are spraying, harvesting beans, picking cotton, etc. And it is making a lot of people sick. Also, the allergies are awful anyway.Saturday, I and 2 of my sisters (Martha and Sue) went to eat and went shopping. We had a good time. We ate at Chili's.. it was really good... country fried steak, mashed potatoes and gravy and corn on the cob.. yum! Then we went to Kohl's to shop a bit. I always like to look at the jewelry.. earrings and necklaces.... unfortunately they are all together with the colognes.... and I think that every cologne in the place had been sprayed! Martha got a headache instantly and I started having trouble with my asthma. We left there and went to the mall to Barnes & Noble for a bit... and when we left there and started home, they had started burning a huge field off.... they usually burn rice and wheat fields off after they harvest here... so by the time I got home, I was miserable. I finally got settled down and rested good. Then I tried to sing yesterday in the choir and made it through but had to leave and use my inhaler.... just part of this time of the year..... I think it's worse this year though. We haven't had as much rain this year and I think the dust and allergens are just awful this time. But I've been through this every year since I was a child and like everyone else, I'll make it through.. just have to be careful and keep my inhaler with me. Well, enough about health issues...

I hope everyone is well and had a good weekend. Yesterday, Diane and Martha and I went to Danny and Mikki's ( Martha's son and daugher-in-law ) to eat lunch. We had grilled pork chops, potatoes cooked on the grill, green beans, and rolls. It was all so good! We visited with them and then went back to church and then home. It was a good day.

Today, Diane, Sue and I met Jessica and Munchkin and went to eat Chinese.. and then Jess, Diane, and Munch went back to their house. It's Pastor Appreciation Month and Sue and I went shopping for our Pastor's wife a gift. Then we went back to Jess and Jason's and spent some time with them for a while before coming home.

I have to go get my hair cut tomorrow but we have a good chance of some storms so, we'll see. And I need to go get a few groceries... other than that, I don't have any big plans. Spending the day with family again... then back to work. Work has been very busy and stressful... we upgraded our computers last week... what a nightmare!! But we made it through alive. We are still working out some bugs!!

Next weekend, I already have plans. Some very good friends are renewing their vows and I've been invited to be there. So, I have that at 5 pm on Saturday. Other than that, I don't know what else I'll be doing.

Well, I think I've rambled on enough for now. Hope you are all well. I'll be back on soon. Hope you all have a good week... Cecil
