Wed. & Thurs. Nov. 8 & 9

From what has been two gorgeous fall days in MO,

Wednesday was a full day for us. Jim joined both breakfast groups and I did the walk that included the long slope. We had some errands to do and then ended up at Boji Stone for lunch. We tried to doze in the afternoon and then headed to the stadium for the game. Jim is a Type A personality (in my opinion) and we were in the stands at 5:00 for a 7:00 game. At least the weather was great and people were soon arriving. The game was quite lopsided by the second half - 21-0 (not in our favor) and eventually the final score was 21-13. The football season is now over with basketball and wrestling next on the agenda.

I must detour and mention that Wednesday evening's CT had a brief blurp on the death of Michael Hornsby - age 49. We knew that his parents had mentioned several years ago that he had been diagnosed with MS. Tonight's CT carried a full obituary. I always liked Mike and his family - so many things I don't understand in life.

Jim walked this (Thurs.) a.m. while I headed to Country Kitchen to join the ladies. I am tired this evening so don't remember if there were six or seven present - Pat, Jan, Judy Duncan, Sandy, Margaret, and yours truly. We are taking up a collection to give to the Arts group (or whatever it is) so that a lighted decoration can be added to the display in Simpson Park. The park was quite a pleasant sight to the eyes last year.

Pat picked me up about 9:30 and we headed to St. Joseph. We made a stop at HyVee and then went on to the special dentist's office where she had stitches removed. Then we went to Red Lobster for lunch - then took in some shopping - Cato's, Sam's (trays for Velma), Border's, Hobby Lobby, Michael's, and maybe somewhere else. On the way home, we stopped at Hamilton to go through the antique mall - with Pat finding a butter dish to a plate pattern that she collects.

Jim fished today again at Dr. Eden's. He only caught one fish today and that was in the protected range - so he didn't have fish to clean - or to add to our larder - but he still was quite content at being outside.

I am not sure just what Friday will bring. Jim and I will probably walk in the a.m. and then he will join the second breakfast group. I really should have oatmeal as I have neglected that aspect of my food this week. He will probably head out to fish again and is hoping that John Wheeler will be able to join him. I plan on tackling the house some and working on some of my varied projects that I have going.

Be safe.
B.
