Mother's Day

Mother's Day was better than most. I volunteered to work at Convenient Care, as I figured most people would not wish to work. It was not busy, not like the Sunday before when I saw 40 people in 6 hours. It was a pretty day out, warm with a nice breeze. When I got off work, I went to WalMart to buy a plant stand for the nice planter that the Cunningham's got me for Mother's day. Ended up buying a miniature rose, a hibiscus, a new sprinkler, some patch grass mix, rhizomes for lilies of the valley (don't know where I'm gonna plant those), and a statue of a puppy holding a bone in his mouth and a sign around his neck saying "Welcome". Got the plant stand, also. Came home, took a walk, then worked in the yard a little bit.

I got an MP3 player for mother's day. There was a Sony Walkman on Woot.com. I don't know why I have been wanting one. The Sony has an FM tuner, so I thought at least I could use it as a radio. Cindy Cunningham told us that their experience with generic MP3 players was bad, so they ended up getting Katie an IPOD. But I didn't have any problem getting the Sony connected on my laptop. Was able to download songs from the internet (of course, from Sony's site) and also transfered from a CD to the player.

Joey would have had an IPOD when they first came out. He loved his music. He was also into all the technical stuff. I think he would have been a great road crew member.

Met the new neighbors, Joyce and Karl. They are very nice. Karl is a retired prof from the UofI.
