Things I have been doing and places I've been

Hi,
WOW I have not written for a while. I went to visit Violet (in New London) again for about 12 days. She is assistant manager of a Coffee House in the neighboring town (Spicer). The manager went on vacation while I was there. Violet was in full charge and put in twelve hour days. She allowed me to help some. It was fun and I enjoyed the other ladies who work there on a regular schedule. While I was there they had a fire at their home. That was quite the experience. They will have to be out of their house for at least two months. Two rooms will need to be gutted and restored, water, & smoke damage throughout the house. Praise The Lord NO one or animals were hurt or died in the fire.
Then yesterday after the Tuesday A. M. Bible study I attend locally five of us ladies went on a shopping trip. We picked up some sandwiches at a Hardees somewhere between here and Sioux Falls, S.D. and ate those in the car. Now you already know that four older ladies and one younger lady together in a car spells FUN,LAUGHTER,& CONVERSATION. We went to allot of places our small towns around here don't have. Then we went to a Texas Roadhouse restaurant for supper. We got back home about 9:45. I had awoke at 4:15 so I was really tired, but had a GREAT time!
I also am continuing to knit prayer shawls. I purchased yarn yesterday to knit a baby blanket and cap for a young couple in our church expecting their first child.

Prayer Shawl, Ministries

I just finished my third adult Prayer Shawl. My nurse friend brought me more yarn today. I have made one child's shawl also. She wants me to make another childs with a little different in the design. It is such a blessing to do these and pray for who ever will receive it.
Today I meet with the (Y. A. H.) Young At Heart group. Two of the ladies tear sheets into stripes. Then I sew them together in very long pieces. They are then cut into 15 feet pieces which we roll into bandages and send them to the mission field.
