Back Home

I just got back home from my trip to Florence. The sad thing about my "trip" is that it only lasted for about 20 hours. Oh well, I went home to sing and I did that this morning. It was so good to see so many friends and share our musical gifts with others. I'm definitely going to miss having something to practice. I really enjoyed the challenge of learning all the pieces mostly on my own.

I visited with Mama and Daddy and spent a little time with Grandaddy. That's getting harder and harder especially since he no longer remembers that Grams died. He thinks he needs to go to Haleyville and get her. It's especially hard to hear since Friday will be the first anniversary of her death. Even though I feel like we really lost her in February, I think this is going to be a hard week for all of us. I know how upset I am, so I can't imagine how poor Mama feels.

I'm sitting on my sofa about to work on some tax returns with my foot propped up. Silly me tried to fall after church and twisted my bad ankle and bruised my knee. It's a really good thing Becky and Teresa were there to catch me. I'm so glad Mama didn't name me Grace!!

I need to get about four more chargeable hours this week, so I better get going if I want to sleep tonight. 16 more days until the filing deadline--can't come soon enough!
