Clarence Chronicles by Patty Truitt
Well it has been a great week and the weather is perfect. It is July and I have my windows open and the AC is off. Great!!!!!!!!! Saturday night I took my favorite man to supper and a movie. When I got off work I went home and got all cleaned up. I took my husband Kenny to McDonald’s for supper and we went to see Dawn of the Planet of the Apes. This movie is a very good movie and the special effects are far beyond the old Apes Movies of the 1970’s. We really had fun and supper was very good. Sunday after church the youth served a fried chicken dinner. They are going on their NYR trip and this was one of their fundraisers. I do wish we could do this every Sunday. When I was young my mother fried chicken every Sunday. It was a great day and I had fun visiting with friends. We have some new neighbors moving in across the street. They are a very nice couple, very friendly and have four children. Amanda has talked more to me in three days then the last neighbors talked in several months. I think it will be great to have friendly people living in the rental house across the street. Our grandson Derek came over to visit us for a while Tuesday afternoon. He brought us some of the excessive cucumbers and zucchini from his mother’s garden. Laura and everyone but Derek is in Branson so Derek is in charge of the garden. Today I took my dog Cody to the Red Barn in Shelbina for a day of grooming. On my way to pick him up I stopped at
the new sewing and notions store, The Farmers Daughter. It is a very nice store and has material, and all kinds of great little country gifts. Be sure to check it out if you go to Shelbina. Thank you to our son Raymond who came up this afternoon and helped us with a couple of projects I needed done. Something very unusual happened to me this afternoon. Pamela Ness of Hannibal called me on our home phone. She had gotten her mail and in it was my Bank America payment. Not the bill but the payment I had sent on July 13. I asked if she wanted me to come get it or send it back to me. She said she was going to take it to the post office and get it sent on. Later she had the man at the Hannibal post office call me and tell me my payment was on its way to Bank America. I called the company to tell them my payment may be late. The woman I talked to was very nice and she had never heard of a person going to so much trouble to help a stranger. We agreed Pamela was a great and caring person. I called Pamela back and thanked her for taking care of this for me. I told her that very few people would go to this trouble and most people would have just put it back in the mailbox. She said that was what was wrong with the world, and people should help others more. Next time I get someone’s mail I hope I remember to go the extra mile. Thank you Pamela. Well praying all of you have a great week. Patty
