Fri. a.m. March 24
From an overcast, somewhat cool MO,
We had a full day on Thursday. I joined five others for breakfast - Pat, Jan, Sandy, Johnna Sue, and Kay - and then basically puttered the rest of the morning - a few errands, etc.
The track meet at Kearney was moved up about an hour because of the coolness so Jim left here a little after 12:00 for the stadium. I picked up Alex about 2:30 and then his mom - and we headed to Kearney. Sometimes the first track meet of the year is not the best organized and this one wasn't. The girls' pole vault should have been done by the time we got there, but it was just starting - some help hadn't shown up, etc. About dark, the wind picked up and the already cool temp really started going downhill and the boy's pole vault was called - as all the running and other field events were done. Bailey tied for second, am thinking Amanda was third, and maybe Cholie and Camie came in right after that. Our younger, less experienced male vaulters were finished, but we still had our three better vaulters going when the meet was called.
We were back in Chillicothe a little after 8:00 and it took me a while to continue to thaw out. We settled in to watch the Texas basketball game and found that as the second half started, we just couldn't stay awake. Oh, well. I've yet to see the KC paper this a.m. to see if they have a write up, but they have done a very good job of complimenting AJ Abrams (the freshman that we got to see play as a senior in high school.)
Both of slept well last night - as well as the girls. I didn't hear them until almost 5:30 - had taken them outside at 9:00 last evening - I would say that is quite a good night.
Jim is having breakfast with the group of Butch Shaffer, Don Dupy, Dave Redford, and Jim Nashan. I understand that Leroy Butts is now joining them and sometimes Digger O'Dell.
I was to take the girls to get a haircut this a.m. and almost forgot as I was checking e-mail. Jim will pick them up at noon as I am joining the retired ladies for lunch at the bowling alley.
I need to get organized and decide what I am fixing for supper. I did fix that Chips Ahoy pie this a.m. and will take half of it to the Ellis' this evening. Jim and I probably don't need even half a pie, but for sure we don't need a whole pie sitting around. This is such an easy pie to make - 9 oz. graham cracker crust - 15 oz. pkg or more of Chips Ahoy - chocolate chip variety (or to your liking) - and an 8 oz container of Cool Whip. You dip one cookie at a time in milk and then place a "ring" around the perimeter of the crust - then add one cookie in the middle; then use 1/3 of the Cool Whip to put a layer over the cookies; add a second layer of dipped cookies; a second layer of Cool Whip; a third layer of dipped cookies; and a third layer of Cool Whip. Then take a couple of cookies and crumble them to make a topping. This needs to sit in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours. Yummmmm --
I'll get back with you tonight.
Be safe.
