Early start with Jarrod as we planned and then purchased what we needed to revise some of the sprinklers by the driveway. He is really a good planner and has a good eye for layout, detail and design. Lunch with George was great -- Spinach pie and Greek salad! The best part was the conversation. Diane is recovering from her surgery well -- will still have some pain for a while. Now it is time for George to get his hip looked at. It was great to see him, and I am very concerned that a cortisone shot is not going to get it this time when the Dr. looks at him walking.
Very excited about the possibility of becoming a part of the team that will take the SHARE program to the next level with online ordering. This organization (Cornerstone Ministries) is experiencing some change, and are realigning themselves -- hopefully getting back to their original mission of supporting and encouraging volunteerism through their outreach programs. The team I want to be on is trying to get their beta-testing done during June so they can go to live ordering and paying online in July. The advantage of the program is significant. Each time I have cross-priced the SHARE grocery prices with any of the big grocery stores -- or the small specialty ones for that matter -- the SHARE prices are consistently about 50% less.
Jarrod is coming back tomorrow after his tutoring and we will finish up the sprinkler project. I am so pleased that one of the great benefits of this process is getting closer to my kids and grandkids. Margaret and I had been heading down that road with Christian and Jamie, and now I am reveling in getting closer to all of them on a one-on-one basis.
Marcia is coming the first weekend in June! She worked it out to get here on Friday evening in time for supper and will stay until Monday evening. I promised I would cook for her -- maybe even make her some of her mother's fried chicken--and I'm excited about the planning and preparation!
I am aware that I am getting more weary with staring at my own navel. It seems that the more I focus energy on reaching out to others, the more I learn about my own process and healing. Somewhat hard to express in words right now. Maybe I'll start commenting on my own views and get some dialogues started.
