Sat., Sun. Feb. 11 & 12
From a cool, mid- a.m. MO,
Today (Sunday) is my mom's birthday - she would have been 90 today. Dad always liked to tease mom that she and Abe Lincoln were born on the same day!
Saturday was a full day. We had a good night of sleep (thanks to Tylenol PM and the girls) as I didn't hear them until about 7:00 a.m. Typing is a little difficult this a.m. as Abby is insisting that she needs to be not just on my lap, but in my arms - she isn't too happy about being left along for a long period of time.
We ended up going to Country Kitchen for breakfast. One of the first people I recognized was Judy Duncan. She and her husband were getting ready to go to KC to the Home and Garden show. We had walked in with Brian and Traci Peters - Chauncey Meneely's mother and step-father.
We spent about three hours with the girls and left here about noon to head to KC. We made a quick stop at the shopping area in Liberty and then headed on south to 90th and Metcalf to the Half Price book store. Jim was able to locate three books by authors that he enjoys. From there we eventually made it to Red Lobster (had called Bill Aronson a couple of times and left messages). Afterwards, we headed south on Metcalf to check out a fabric store where I finally found a pair of scissors that I have somehow misplaced - hopefully they will at sometime be found.
We had left Chillicothe about two hours before we really needed to do so, so still had time to spend before going to JCCC. We finally stopped at Panera on Metcalf and enjoyed a dessert and coffee - both of us were needing some caffeine by this time - as well as some sugar.
We were just north of the JCCC when the cell phone rang and it was Sandy Ross. She and Bernard hadn't been long at the Sage residence in Independence (had breakfast in Georgia that morning and I think she said lunch in Tennessee) and they were enroute to JCCC - just wanted to go over directions again as this was their first time. We had been in and out of skiffs of snow all day so driving wasn't necessarily the easiest.
We went on to the Carlsen Center and waited in the lobby for Sandy and Bernard. They didn't have to call a second time as my "excellent" directions got them there with no problems. Sandy had called a few months ago for tickets and somehow had been lucky enough to get tickets in the room just behind us and about two tickets to our left.
The concert featured the second generation of members of the Kingston Trio. One member had maybe been in the group about 30 years, another maybe close to 20, and the third one less. The guy who did the back-up guitar work had been with the group I think 15 years. Many old favorites were performed and a few that I really don't remember hearing. We enjoyed the performance and I think Sandy and Bernard did as well - despite their exhaustion.
We did not follow each other back to Chillicothe as they had not had an evening meal. We arrived in Chillicothe sometime between 11:45 and midnight. Needless to say, the girls were glad to see us.
I didn't hear the girls this morning until about 6:00, let them go outside, and then tucked them back inside their sleeping crate - didn't hear them again until almost 8:00 - then they were ready for space and activity.
The Austin/KC arena football game comes on about 1:00 and we plan on sort of watching it. Jim is wanting to watch the Pro Bowl at 5:00 and in between we will probably be watching some Olympics.
Jim has several errands to do on Monday and I begin Monday with the computer work for Mobile Meals and then have my annual doctor's visit in the afternoon. Neither one of us will be happy about my weight. I also need to show him some moles on my back as Jim seems to think they have changed in color.
Until I get back on - be safe!
