I incorporated the alarm in my dreams. I didn't want to get up. And then I had to face the rain driving to work. The pavement steams after the heat of the summer. (Martha and I have discussions about what causes this.) And my car is making some kind of noise.

10 am Baptist Center. The computer was down and I had to move to a closet. Our director is not here and and and..... Ten families in one hour. May Street Market (Food Pantry) is busy.
11 AM We have now served 20 families. End of the month.
Lots of new people. Anglos.

New kinds of people. More middle class. We are closing pantry having served 23 families.

I came home and napped for three hours. The cool air is so nice. My car was still acting up. So I took the dogs for a walk and plan to take car in to garage tomorrow.

Lady Chica's Tale
Taking a walk was not so bad. We haven't been running much these days. Mostly I am sleeping. Mom says it is so good to be cool.

Blitzen's Tale
I dont mind taking a walk once in a while. new smells all over the place. I just hate when Mom runs the vacuum cleaner. I run under the bed. That's where my den is. I hate the blender, too.

BOOK REVIEW
Dorothea Benton Frank, *Shem Creek*
A Low Country Tale. This is a sweet little story about a woman who moves back to the small town where she grew up. I enjoyed this.

9 AM I thot we were sleeping in. I woke up highly energized. It is cool. Only 73 degrees. I have a long list of minor tasks to do. Change sheets, clear dining table (a week's work), clear kitchen counter (load dish washer, put clean dishes in cupboard), clear stove top. In between vacuum, mop kitchen. Then finish about six caftans cut out so that I can clear coffee table. Then on to more string quilts. (i call them string quilts bc I am using small strips of fabric).

I think it would be fun to make a list. I can spend time that way. Writing my dissertation I called it "sharpening pencils".

Good grief! Juno has popup voice ads. Well, I have changed sheets and put them in laundry. I am reading Haynes Johnson's book about 2008 election. He has a lot of polling data from 2007. Even I had not realized how much the country has changed. I think the Republicans are done for. They do not have a clue.
They made a big mistake opposing Sotomayor.

Sorted more clothes with Marilyn. A lot of these have to go to Baptist Center. I have no more room.


Lady Chica's Tale
What goes on at Pup's stays at Pup's. This is confidential. Uncle John gives us a treat when we arrive. Blitzen always buries his. I dug it up and ate it.

PPQS tonight. [Philosophical Paleontological Quilt Society]. I have all black and red blocks finished. We laid them out tonight. The quilt will be beautiful. Beautiful.
I will ask Lea to send me a pic and I will forward it. She is putting a pic on facebook for the recipient.

BOOK REVIEW
