Fri. & Sat. Aug. 4 & 5
From a hot and muggy MO,
The past two days have been rather active. I should have checked to see if I wrote on Friday, but was too lazy. Jim had rehab on Friday a.m. - continues to be a little stronger with each session. We did some errands afterwards and eventually I did a "carry-out" at the new cafe. We dozed away the afternoon with Jim managing to get some sleep on the bed.
Mary Willis had made a marvelous zucchini casserole yesterday afternoon which she shared with us. I fixed some "so-called" fried chicken and that basically finished off the meal - along with some lettuce salad.
The girls and I went to bed quite early last night and therefore I was up with them about 12:30 and again at 5:30. Jim used the recliner again and I tried his side of the bed as he thought he would eventually sleep on my side. His side is almost wrecked (or that is my opinion) and we haven't had the new mattress and box springs for even three years. We had bought a bench to use at the foot of the bed for when we were putting on shoes, etc., but Jim continues to use his side of the bed for putting on shoes, clothes, turning on tv, etc. and therefore when sleeping on that side it is almost like going down a mountain.
We left here about 8:00 this a.m. and picked up Pat for an outing to KC. I had enjoyed a section of one of the KC tv stations yesterday morning describing a 50s and 60s "antique" store. After several detours, we finally located the place and I must admit it was like a trip down memory lane. We didn't get anything, but it was interesting.
Next we went to the Half Price Book Store in the Westport area. We usually go to the "sister" store on Metcalf, but decided that we really liked maybe this store better - Stan and Helen also like to drop in here.
Next we went to McCoy's at Westport and enjoyed an early lunch. Jim had a bison burger while Pat and I split a Tuscan chicken pizza and we also had side salads. Jim and I enjoy going here and this was Pat's first trip.
Then we headed to the "I Love a Mystery" book store - in the first block east of Lamar on Johnson Dr. in the Merriam area. This also was a first for Pat and I think she really enjoyed it.
We headed north next - at first thinking we would go to the Border's Store near I-29 and Barry, but finally decided to come on home. I had driven down, but Jim decided to drive from our "antique" store and brought us on back home.
We have no plans for Sunday as I am sure that we will need the day to rest up from today. I hope to walk early in the a.m. - then spend the day cuddling with the girls and in general just taking life easy.
Be safe.
