I refuse to sit at home and feel sorry for myself. That would go against all that Don and I stood for. I have decided to play the hand I was dealt even though I don't like it this way.
I had the 45,000 mile service on my car and had new tires put on. I forgot the white walls. Don always got white wall tires. Oh, well. Cars are for getting from point A to point B to me. I was never as crazy about transportation as Don was. Maybe it was a man thing.
I started to empty Don's closet. Ann Marie helped me on Monday. She emptied all the top of the closet and the bottom side shelves and all the suits and sport coats. He did love to dress and had a lot of suits (not a 100). I have to still size all his pants (dress and casual)and his dress shirts so that I can start giving them away. I could have a garage sale but clothes don't sell well and they will be good dress clothes for the Brothers at the Kingdom Hall. When I have sized them, I will post it so if you know someone who could wear them, let me know.
I have a pair of winter gulashes (black with zippers) to slip over shoes to keep feet dry in large. Don wore a size 12 shoe. I guess I will wait until I try to give the suits away and ask about the shoes. Some are like brand new. Don was very careful about his clothing. I also have a pair of rubber short boots to fit over shoes, again large to fit size 12. I guess I will ask around.
I am enjoying working in the ministry with the sisters and brothers in the congregation. I had a couple of excellent discussions today, one with a catholic woman and one with a former 7th day Adventist. I am getting ready for bed now as I have an 8o'clock appointment with friends Stephanie and Diane. They keep me young. I'll check in again in a couple of days. Until them, you keep busy too.
Love, Barb
