We had dinner and watched some television, and I checked Facebook. There was a post from a woman who lives one block from my grandmother - the power was out. So I called Mam-ma - no answer, and no answering machine. I called her friend Ruby, and Mam-ma answered the phone! She played "Chicken Foot" (dominoes) at Ruby's Saturday afternoon with her friends, and when she was driven home, her garage door opener would not work. A neighbor shouted to her that the power was off. She didn't have a purse or her house keys, so she returned to Ruby's. I determined that she didn't have her medications, so Elaine and I went to get Mam-ma and unlock her house so she could gather pj's and her meds. We did this, and while there, I discovered she had NOT locked her house up completely. I "battened down the hatches" and returned her to Ruby's house.
We made a quick stop at Elaine's for Sunday shoes, and the house was STIFLING! I couldn't believe how it had heated up... but that goes to show how hot the day got! Back at home, we watched another TV program with Greg, and around 9:15, my grandmother called - her power was back on, and she was at home!
Sunday was Elaine's birthday and also the first day for our new pastor, Bro. Tommy Toombs, to preach. We went to church and then out to lunch with our friends - Steve and KathyJo Anderson, and Fred and Tempa Davis. Then we came home to read the paper and rest. There were phone calls for Elaine, and a visit from Bruce, Caitlyn, and Chase, which we thoroughly enjoyed. Last night we watched an old Alfred Hitchcock movie, "The Trouble With Harry." It was a good one! Today we will hopefully get the AC repaired at Greg's mother's house - we have loved having her here, but we know she is anxious to get home. It's cooler here today, and maybe the week will be uneventful... MAYBE!
