JUST CATCHING UP, AGAIN

Donna didn't go to Church today because she had her knee surgery Friday so Laif, Eloise and I took care of the Library. Today was the Primary Program. How wonderful it is to watch the children.

I had sent for a new bedskirt for my bed. I had this cheap one from Wal-Mart that did not look good at all. The one I left at Debbie's would not have worked either because I decided that was not the color I wanted even though it was a nice one I got from Penney's. The color of the new one I got is called "Merlot" which is the popular color this year. I put the bedskirt on by myself. I had already planned out how to do it. The mattress that I have on my bed is much lighter than the one I had in Renton. I just moved the nightstand and leaned the mattress on the closet doors. It was more work making the bed than putting the skirt on. I didn't want to ask Laif. He has been working so hard downstairs putting LOTS of lights in for me and Donna was laid up with her knee.

I forgot to mention that I bought a new electric blanket (also in Merlot) because they had a huge sale on bedding and shipping was only $4.99. It is Penney's top of the line blanket. I saved $119.00. I bought the blanket for probably one of the silliest reasons you will ever hear. I bought it because it has stand-up controllers rather than the ones that lay down. Also you can see the numbers better. As it turns out, I am glad I did. The blanket is so nice and so soft. I have been wanting the new blanket ever since I saw it on line at Penney's. With my other electric blanket I had to turn it clear up to high to keep warm in the basement. With my new one I stay very warm on 5 or 6. It goes up to 9 and then high. The first night I set it for 8 and I woke up in a sweat and had to turn it down. I put the old one on the bed in the other bedroom downstairs.
