Really enjoyed my time with the little church group Monday night and spent yesterday in Monett, Mo. visiting with an old friend and neighbor and giving her my views on health. Was really nice to be back in a community where people still know each other. Did not stay late because I have a headlight broken and I don't drive well in the dark without good headlights. My animals really missed me because I was gone all day; they are not used to being alone, but survived.

Did not write in book #2 yesterday so gotta catch up today, the sun is shining this morning so may have to do it outdoors, under the old apple tree.
