First off, my mom is doing well. Thank you so much for the prayers! Her fracture is right at the top of her left femur. They put a rod in from her hip to her knee, pinned it and wrapped mesh around the rest of the bone. She was up with a walker Sunday, which is crazy to me! She may get to go home Monday, but it will be several weeks of rehabilitation. God is good!
Lloyd had graduation on Sunday, so I went on some errands. One of them was to stop at Aldi’s and look at their stuff. I also bought cheap eggs, milk, soup, honey, flower, and this thing.
What’s that? It’s not a knife…..
It’s a folding saw! It will come in handy for both camping and a zombie apocalypse.
I did not buy the bag of oranges. As I was checking out, one of the employees was showing them to the cashier. She thought something was wrong with them since they were misshapen. I said, “Well, they used to be flowers. Something weird must have happened to the flower. I’m sure they’re fine.”
She said, “Really?”
I shrugged. “I’m just guessing.”
She seemed crushed. “I wish you were sure. I’m just going to throw them out. Do you want them?” Not one to turn down free food, I refrained from reassuring her and took them.
I also doctored them up.
By the way, they were just fine,
I think people pay extra money for weirdly shaped oranges at Whole Foods and Wegmans.
Fascinating! And good for you!
As a child in Brasil I learned that the navels of the navel oranges were the sweetest part. On top of that, the bigger they were, the better!
I am curious now that you mentioned Brasil, I met yesterday the daughter of a missionary’s who was in Porto Alegre. His name was George Mueller. He was there from 1937-1960. Any connections?
My father might have known him. Porto Alegre is the southernmost state and Espirito Santo is several states north. Dad’s congregations were the northernmost ones, together with others, in the then Brasil district.
Thanks for the reply! I will work to see what I can piece together.
