Dear Folks, When I got up today I knew that I had two thing that I had to accomplish. (1) go to the grocery store to pick up at least one gallon of milk and (2) do a load of wash because I was out of clean underwear. It wasn't until around 3:00 that I realized I hadn't gone to the grocery store yet and although I dreaded bundling up for the trip (I swear it's still winter here) I got in my car and drove the short distance to the small grocery story in the village. When I read the sign in the store's window that they had fresh corn on the cob for 10/$1.98 I couldn't wait to pick up about 1/2 dozen. But lo and behold they were already sold out of them. I could have cried. The clerk said they had another shipment due tomorrow but that would mean another trip into the village for me. Well, we'll see what tomorrow brings. I just LOVE fresh corn on the cob! There were other things on my grocery list that weren't on sale at all but I threw caution to the winds and bought them anyway. I really WANTED them! When I got back home and into my driveway I knew what I was facing again. That was hauling my groceries from the car to the house. I knew that it was really too much for me to do so I took whatever I could handle from my car trunk and then left the trunk open in hopes that some well-meaning soul would notice the groceries and get the hint that I needed help. And sure enough, my lawn maintenance man knocked on my door and stood there with all of my groceries in his hands and brought them right into my kitchen. I could have just hugged him for that! Regarding my laundry, I finally got around to doing it around 8:30 and got it dried around 10:00. It's all folded up right now and tucked into my drawers. It may not have been the most exciting day of my life, but I feel proud of myself that I handled another day of my life and had help doing it. vee

That's what each of must do "handle each day" and you, Vee, help each of us to do that "with a smile" Thanks. Evelyn
