Tues. May 16

From a temperate MO,

The girls slept well last night and that means I also was able to get a good night of sleep. We went to be very early last night - in fact a little after 8:00. I was up with the girls about midnight and then took them outside about 6:30 as Jim was moving around. We spent an hour in bed with some serious cuddling - what a way to begin the a.m.

We did some errands together this a.m. and then I set out on some errands alone. In the meantime, Jim headed over to the track to take the bolts from the vertical standards - then was to wait until some kids arrived this afternoon to help carry them to the shed. Of course he didn't wait and had taken several Tylenol as a result.

I left here about 11:30 with Sandy to go to Trenton. She had made some phone calls this a.m. to "ladies" about going, but hadn't found people at home. She needed to drop grades off and then we went to the Wild Onion for lunch. The seating is now about doubled as they have added the building to the south of them for extra space. We had a marvelous salad - chicken, a variety of greens, dried cranberries, nuts, croutons, surely I am missing something - oh, yes, loads of feta cheese, and they had a very tasty dressing.

Afterwards we stopped at a shop that has a lot of sort of country items in it. We saw several items of interest. We'll make another trip there at a future date.

We have a new baby north of us - Scott and Brandi Ellis are the parents of a baby girl - 8 pounds and 4 ounces, born just before noon today. Brandi probably weighs 98 pounds soaking wet so no wonder she has been miserable for the past several weeks. I don't understand the doctor allowing the baby to get to large - especially when they already knew a C-section had to be done. Anyway, mother and daughter are fine.

Jim has breakfast with his two "old fogie" groups in the a.m. and then is to meet the pole vaulters at 10:00 to have them help carry in the large porta pits and the wooden planks underneath.

I join the middle school staff at 8:30 for breakfast in honor of two retiring teachers - Doug Long (Doug's wrestling coach in high school) and Terri Willard. I plan on going by the track afterwards (with some old clothes to change) and see how the putting away of the pole vault mats are coming. My hair appointment is different this month and I get a hair cut at 2:00. We then will be going to an abbreviated sports banquet at 6:00 - at the high school. I'm thinking I'm missing something - but the day is going to be full.

Be safe.
B.
