A Plague of Frogs?

This morning I was rushing around frantically trying to get ready for the members of my book club to arrive. I hurried into the hall bathroom to clean the sink and commode. When I lifted the lid of the toilet, there inside the bowl was a good-sized frog! It scared the living daylights out of me! My first instinct was to flush it away so that is what I TRIED to do. However, the frog hung on for dear life and managed to escape the sucking whirlpool. He was a rather grotesque-looking frog, not cute at all, but I felt a little guilty for trying to flush him, and since he fought so valiantly, I decided to spare his life. Grabbing some paper towels, I fished him out of the toilet and took him outside and released him. All day I have wondered how he got in there. Had he been living in the sewer? Is that why he looked like some kind of mutant frog? And if a frog could get in there, maybe a snake could, too. What a horrible thought that is! Are there lots more frogs where that one came from? I haven't been holding any Hebrew slaves, so I hope there isn't going to be a plague of frogs. No one else I know ever had this happen to them. Oh, well.

Book club was fun, as usual. Only five of us showed up, but we enjoyed eating breakfast and talking for two hours. I'm really quite pleased that we have managed to keep this going about three years now. My ideas are seldom that successful long-term.

The wedding scrapbook is coming along nicely. It really is fun to work on. I need to go buy a few more supplies for it tomorrow. Yesterday was a nice day. I took my in-laws shopping at an outlet mall. The weather was beautiful, and we had a pretty good time together. The day before I went to jazzercise, ate lunch downtown with Doug, and we both went to a training meeting for a new ministry we are starting in our church. It was a busy day. Monday was all yard work. That evening we got to play, however, because Sean got us tickets to a Georgia baseball game. It was a great evening for baseball with a gentle breeze blowing. Our seats were behind home plate, and best of all, we won to go on to the super regional playoff.

Sunday we went to church and afterwards had lunch with a couple in our small group. We rested that afternoon and went back to church that evening so Doug could introduce the new ministry to the church body. I was proud of him. He made an excellent presentation. He has had a busy week starting his new position at work.

My principal told me today that I definitely will be teaching one class next year that only meets twice a week. That way I will make a little money but still enjoy being mostly retired. That will probably be a good compromise for me. The class is Government and Economics which has been really interesting to teach in the past.

Well, this was a boring post, but I'm not feeling very philosophical tonight!
