Tues. Nov. 14
From a cloudy and cool MO,
This has been an interesting day. We sort of slept in this a.m. and then the four of us walked about 8:00. I am not sure the four of us walked as Trixie really gives Jim a workout as she pulls a great deal - knows where all the dogs are located on our walking route and can't wait to get to the next dog. We had a darling dog (probably a llasho - spelling - follow us for a couple of blocks this a.m. I can't believe that people would put such an attractive dog out and leave it unattended.
We headed out to do errands about 9:30 and quickly remembered that today a large number of troops from our local area were being deployed. There were three large tour busses that were in front of the armory. Crowds were lined up on either side of Washington Street from the Armory south to McDonald's - flags, banners, school children, adults, etc. We drove south and then came back to the parking lot at the post office to watch the troops leave. I don't usually cry (actually can't remember when I last cried), but really got choked up today and shed a few tears.
I joined Mary Willis, Ginny Glover, and Helen for lunch at Piece of Cake. I then headed to the Dollar Store (everything inside is a dollar) and found a few items that I had been wanting. I then headed home to make the Dr. Pepper spaghetti casserole for supper. At 3:00, I joined Helen, Mary W., and Peggy Bacon for dessert!
Jim went to Brookfield to fish today, but did not have the marvelous experience of yesterday, but still came back feeling good about the outing. It is amazing how his emotions have gone to the positive with these outings.
Jim will join two groups of "old geezers" for breakfast on Wednesday a.m. We get our flu shots at the county health office at 1:30. If we have any energy, we are then going to make a quick trip to the Liberty area as Jim wants to go to a fishing place and then use a discount coupon at Kohl's.
Be safe.
