Karen’s Opinion

I think my son was wore out from all the excitement! Or was it that he and his gf went to bed at 1 am. hmmm

When I was in my 20’s people in their 50’s seemed old to me. Is this what they mean when they say all things are relative? I am 50 and I don’t feel that old. People in their 70’s are dying and that makes me uncomfortable. Twenty years goes by fast and I don’t want it to go by that fast! I am not afraid to dye because I know where I am going. I just love my life and want to experience a lot more things!

Last night we went to son’s college’s basket ball game. Go Butler. They beat Evansville. It was so much fun to watch. Those guys have great skill and play together as a team. That #4 cannot miss the basket!

I have admiration for those people who have to maneuver in wheelchairs. I praise and thank the Lord every day that I won’t have to be in a wheelchair forever. The world is not set up to make it easy for the handicapped. The clothes racks in stores are put so close together that it is almost impossible to get through a store. The mall doors need buttons to push so the doors open automatically. There is no way I could get into a mall by myself. Trash cans are put in places that make it hard to reach towels when in a restroom. I won’t even go into the rude people who think they can just cut in front of you because you can’t get at them to bonk their heads. I was so protective of my feet hoping that no one would accidently bump them. Kids can’t help if they aren’t taught to be careful around the handicapped. This one little girl was constantly bopping around me in the restroom. I thought, for a moment, she was going to land in my lap. ai yi yi! I must say that the majority of people were very courteous. Opening doors, allowing me to go ahead etc. One teenager picked up a trash can in the restroom and held it so I could get by. There are nice people.

I can’t get over how warm it is for being December. It is nice not to have to shiver as the car warms up. The brown grass leaves a little bit to be desired tho. I hope we at least get a blanket of snow to wake up to on Christmas morning.

I made napkins from the material I had left from the table runner. I actually used the embroidery feature on my sewing machine! It was so much fun. I hadn’t done it since I took a class at the fabric store so I wasn’t sure about some things but it worked out.
