I sent a note to the manager of Azalea Place Apartments about the teams we’ve had the last two weeks.

The pollen has been intense. Everything is covered with yellow dust.

Dogwoods are blooming! Easter is close!

I wrote and produced my newsletter.

I sent pictures of Rapha and Miguel today from 2001!

The girls and I ate lunch and then went to FBC Doraville to make copies of the newsletters. I had a nice visit with Pastor Bill. He showed me how the photocopy machine worked.

Went to the Post Office to get stamps. .78c per stamp seems pretty high!

Folded the newsletters. The girls enjoyed reading the story from this month. Most of the kids at school are taking tests now so very little homework.

Listened to Don Cheto on the way home.

Deepstash!

Wrote a recommendation for Bill Cordrey’s new book. He’s a great guy and president of our Board.

Don’t stop.

I did some surgery on one of Penelope’s stuffies.

OYB!

Beautiful morning sunshine through branches.

I took my Mom to her eye doctor today.

Great to have teams coming!

Deepstash! This has been a fun app.

I got my Mom’s dental/eye insurance activated again. It was cancelled due to her checking account getting hacked and having to start a new account.

I wrote a check to Pastor Bill for utilities for last week in the Fellowship Hall. They decided not to accept the money.

Glorious flowers!

Sent flower pictures to family and friends of my Mom in Texas.

Did my laundry

Set up an eye doctor’s appointment for my Mom in May.

Worst clock ever. Everly actually was able to tell me the time!

CT results for K came in. We decide to wait and let the doctor explain what’s going on.

K and I helped the kids at the Mission.

Everly has been a good helper!

While we were there, one of my original youth group from thirty years ago came by to see me! Miguel has been like a son to me. What a delight to see him again!

Never too much Ashley!

I got in contact with Rapha, Miguel’s brother as well.

We went with another company for K’s oxygen. I let him know.

Push.

OYB!

Good talk with Tyler Thomas who is the Youth Director for FBC Canton. He’ll be bringing a team mid July.

Rotech came by this morning to set up oxygen for K’s CPAP. She’ll be getting a portable set up soon.

I take notes and set up a new contact with the info.

Came in fifth place last week.

Did Nana’s laundry.

Hooked up my water hose. I had the faucet cover to protect it from freezing. I have a hole in one of my hoses. I need to take it to Lowes to get a new one.

Picked up a bunch of sticks and some big logs that had fallen because of the storms we’ve had recently.

Set up an appointment with K’s lung doctor.

Signed up to go to the No Kings Rally this weekend.

The azaleas are so beautiful!

K and I picked up the girls and took them to Pho 24. Then to Azalea to help the kids with their homework. Not too much to do. Second graders are testing. Fourth graders just had a small packet.

Penelope striking a pose.

Gas on the way home.

Picked up groceries. Took a while to put them up. It was basically two weeks worth because I had a team last week and didn’t get around to picking them up.

I repaired a crack in one of my bird baths. I put some silicon dap on it.

Refilled my birdseed bag.

I saw some yellow jackets this morning near where I store my cart. This evening, I tried to spray them, but couldn’t see where their hole was. I saturated the area with bug spray. I’ll keep my eyes out for them. They’re no joke! I’ve been stung many times. I had hornet spray too.

Just keep going.

Deepstash!

Wrote a check to cover a medical bill for my Mom and one to FBC Doraville for use of the Fellowship Hall last week. The team ate there four evenings and used the kitchen.

Beautiful weather

I’ll take my Mom to the eye doctor on Tuesday. I have an appointment to have an eye exam on Friday.

I cleaned my hummingbird feeders yesterday with a light bleach solution. Rinsed them out and refilled them with sugar water.

Put up my hummingbird feeder pole near where I sit in the mornings and hung them up around my house.

Ordered feeders for J’s window.

Went to Goodwill to look for hats. Didn’t find any that I liked. Can’t find if you don’t look!

Beautiful wisteria on the way to Stone Mountain to record Verbal Surgery. They’re shooting a movie where I normally record. Found another place that worked.

Watered my indoor downstairs plants.

I like this.

Indeed.

Keep going.

Recorded and released Verbal Surgery “I Sight.” Excellent!

Deepstash!

Talked to Scott Deter who is our health insurance agent about my Mom’s dental account. I set up an online account with the insurance company, but couldn’t pay the bill on online. I’ll call them on Monday.

I’m having an issue with my payroll company. Chat GPT gave me some advice.

I like Deepstash, because when I have time I can study something useful.

These Redbud trees are absolutely gorgeous right now.

Took my Mom to get her haircut.

Already starting to get warm.

Ordered groceries.

I’m influenced by the Stoics.

Keep going.

I edited the video, uploaded it to YouTube, and sent the Southshore team their Thank You note which included all the photo galleries and the video.

Deepstash!

OYB!

Nakuru weather.

Nana was concerned that the shower curtain might catch her walker so I moved it in about four inches.

Español!

Confirmed my eye appointment for next week.

Drove to Duluth with K to pick up her CT Scan disk that she had in December of last year.

Then to Lawrenceville to go to the Imaging Clinic for her scan today.

The current administration is making air travel a misery.

Sorry to hear this. I really liked Chuck Norris.

As a treat, we stopped at Donnie’s on the way home. We used to eat there regularly but they moved their location to about twenty minutes away.

I’m working on getting oxygen for K.

Looking forward to seeing this movie soon.

I’m always trying to make my email more manageable.

Did my laundry.

Vocabulario!

Keep going.

From David Coggins’ book.

Got J a new keyboard.

We had a couple of guests come to The Show this morning. Lauren is planning on bringing a group in the future.

OYB!

Don Cheto!

Got to FBC Doraville early to set up and study Español!

The team got there 20 minutes early! I didn’t see that coming.

I had a good time with the two Laurens. I showed them around Plaza Fiesta and the Buford Highway Farmers Market!

Confirmed an appointment for my Mom.

I just confirmed an appointment for a CT Scan for K tomorrow.

I had a great Dedication Day with the Southshore team from Florida. They passed the baton, filled out their prayer card, and signed the Landing Pad.

Took them on Safari to Plaza Fiesta!

Always something interesting to see.

Keep going.

OYB!

Morning set up at FBC Doraville.

I left a key with the group leader from Florida. I asked him to put it in our mailbox/lock box after they leave on Thursday night. Made sure the Deacon knew what was going on.

Español!

Took the team on Safari to the BAPS Temple, Kitab Bookstore and Global Mall.

Picked the grandgirls up at the bus and took them to Taco Veloz.

Seems like I’m scheduling medical appointments a lot.

Deposited checks. Thank you, Father. I really appreciate it.

Deepstash.

Listened to Don Cheto on the way home.

Had a fun time with the teams today. Took them on Safari.

Ministry with the kids. It’s their last day at the Missions!

Hopefully, we can get this medical document and get J’s taxes going.

OYB!

Cold day. But better than yesterday!

Español!

Took the grandgirls to Pho 24.

Keep going.

Had a great morning with the team from Florida. Took them on Safari to Asian Square and China Town.

We helped Mr. John set the crosses in the ground at FBC Doraville. I know he appreciated that!

Worked with the kids at Azalea and S. Pines.

I liked Eric Barker’s blog today on aging.

OYB!

Deepstash!

Got a nice note from one of the team leaders from last week.

Set up the Fellowship Hall to handle lunch for the church members after the funeral. The Florida team will use six of the tables for lunch and dinner the rest of the week.

Español!

We had drizzle and snow flurries this afternoon. I think the Florida team was kind of amazed by it. Me too!

Got a text from a prospective team. Always good.

I gave him a thumbs up.

Picked up the grandgirls and took them to Burger King and White Windmill.

Listened to Don Cheto.

Always gathering information.

Temps are really dropping. And the wind!

I sent a check to pay for my tax return: $365. No way I could have done it without their expertise. Still not sure the housing allowance was done correctly. I sent an email to Lamar to ask if he’d looked at it to make sure it was right. We’ll see.

I seem to be ok with being in the top ten.

Had a great time with Southshore Community Church from Sarasota, FL. Very enthusiastic. Not sure what they thought about the weather, but they seemed to appreciate the kids.
