Monday, Late post, funeral

Well I finished chart 16 and I hope to have 17 completed before we leave on our trip on the 27th.  That gives me 10 days.

    Lil sis and I attended a funeral for a man that I have known for 30 years.  I coached with him when we first moved here.  He also went to Lil sis's church.  Such a funny man and we would get together for dinners at Lil sis's.  It was a lovely service, but the reception memorial was long.  Lil sis came home with me and helped me cut the tulle on one of my wedding dresses.  It was a ball gown style and a I did not want my healing blisters to break open she did the cutting for me.

    I have finished two more Wedding dresses and they should be picked up tomorrow.  I have one more to do and a boat load of alterations.  So tomorrow I will work hard on getting everything organized so I can finish things up before I leave.   As I get work in every day , I do need to get all things out until I start to tell people they cannot have their things until I get back and I probably won't start that until next week.

     I don't want to speak too soon but my arthritis seemed to be a little better this morning.  I am hoping I am over the top of the flare.

     As I was finishing up the last of the wedding dress I realized I needed to go pay the water bill and I made it to the office with 3 minutes to spare.  I like to live on the dangerous side.  Not.
