Thurs & 1/2 Fri April 6 & 7
From a humid, warmish MO afternoon,
We had seven at breakfast on Thursday a.m. -- Judy Mathew, Mary, Pat, Jan, Sharon McCall (husband has been under the weather), Sandy, and yours truly. Of course we had lots of topics for conversation and the time passed way too quickly.
Jim and I sort of mowed the yard later in the a.m. We didn't worry about the perimeter, but made sure to get the higher grass mowed back - all in all - the yard looks much better.
Jim dozed during the middle part of the day and I merely puttered. I ended up working on my hooked rug project and finally got around to fixing supper when Jim called that he was on his way home from track.
We were under a tornado watch last evening until about 3:00 this morning. We escaped any severe weather, but had a little rain and some wind - but nothing was damaged. I need to make a phone call to a cousin (on my mom's maternal side) that lives in the area of Salina and Manhattan, Kansas as I heard the weather announcer mention Longford, KS being a possible target - that is where my great grandparents settled when them came from England in the latter part of the 1800s. In fact, my great grandfather was post master there.
Jim wanted to go for breakfast this a.m. so we ended up going to Country Kitchen. I had gone to HyVee last evening to get the "makings" for a casserole and dessert as our young lady to the north of us has been sent to bed by her OB. She is about a month away from her due date. I ended up fixing a spaghetti casserole this a.m. as well as that easy chocolate chip cookie pie so have the casserole in her crockpot now and the pie in her refrigerator. I also took salad makings over.
I met Pat about 10:00 to go to the UMC to a silent auction sponsored by one of the church circles. There were lots of things to bid on, and I thought I had a high bid on a plate of oatmeal cookies (for Jim), but someone at the last minute added a quarter. The irritating thing is that a comparable plate went for half as much! Oh, well --
I stopped by HyVee on the way home and bought enough shaved meat for 12 big sandwiches along with some sliced cheese. These are now made and are in the refrigerator, but I need to transfer them to the cooler - along with plenty of ice.
Jim has headed over to the track as the Joe Shy Relays are today. I think there are 10 or 12 teams involved. I hope we make it through the afternoon without rain, but we might not be that lucky.
I am not sure if I will be back on this evening - will just see how tired I am. I was doing e-mail last evening when the thunder began and didn't get all the mail downloaded or the responses sent that I had already typed.
Be safe.
