Stuff

Hello,

Stuff is growing in my house. Does that mean I am becoming an old lady? I look around and I see more things sitting around here and there. I will have to do a purge some day. We might even give away some of our Slovak things. Especially items we kept just so we could display them if we give a talk on the subject. I think we are getting past that time of giving talks. It will have been ten years ago this summer that we returned to the US. Some of those things to show at a talk are the grocery ads, newspapers, and calendars. Surely those could be moved on to recycle.

Leroy looked at his seminary class group photo just before he went to the 40th reunion dinner. His classmate there told him that he had a list of all the names so Leroy could fill in the gaps. Now he cannot find that photo. Seems to me if we had fewer things it would be easier to find. He has looked and I have looked. It was not to be found in any of the logical places. Could Leroy have put it in an illogical place?

We walked to church this morning. No sun, but the snow was coming down. I wore the coat which extends the most over my head. My face still shows no change from the lotion. I am living life as usual rather than avoiding exposing others to a dreadful sight.

Leroy has some overshoes that he usually uses for rain, but today he wore them as snow boots. When he removed them at church he found that his shoes were all dusty. I looked in the overshoes and saw a load of sand. He does not know where that came from, but I think it would be hard on the bottom of these high tech boots. Do you think he could have had that on the bottom of his shoes sometime? These overshoes look nothing like my dad’s four buckle farm boots. We have another pair that was to be mine, but I do not wear them as they slop around on my dress shoes. Leroy wore those this afternoon for his trek to the nursing home. Leroy and I have the same size foot. Maybe the second pair will get some use and be worth the money spent.

Happy Valentine’s Day! Rejoice in/with your loved ones.
