Fri., Sat., & Sun. Jan. 26-28
From a sunny, but crisp MO,
These have been three good days for us. I don't think we accomplished much on Friday - Jim had breakfast with the second group and I headed out with the girls on some minor errands. We walked later in the morning at the Y. At one point of the morning, I went by one of the churches in town to watch some of the breakfast group as well as some of the ladies from that church make Valentine cards for shut-in church members. They have a lot more fun making these cards and being creative than I would ever be.
On Saturday we decided to head to Cabela's so that Jim could use the gift card from Doug and Dara - had been burning a hole in his billfold. Afterwards, we drove around this area some as it has several new establishments from the last time we had been there. It has become quite a shopping area.
We headed back towards Zona Rosa as I also had a gift card for Barnes and Noble (also burning a hole), but the two books that I was looking for were not to be found - one was newly published and had sold out with more coming in and the second would be published in mid-February.
From here we headed towards the Liberty area and ate lunch at O'Charley's. Jim was a little disappointed with his catfish fillets and my sandwich was okay, but I wouldn't repeat on it. Maybe the fudge I had bought at Cabela's had taken the edge off of eating?????
We watched the Texas basketball game on Saturday evening and called it an early night. The girls slept until almost 3:30 before needing to go out. I had gotten them tucked back into their crate and I was almost ready to drop off when I heard a click and some clatter - the newly set mouse trap had gone off! Abby had been really inquisitive in the kitchen area the past two or three days and Jim had set a mousetrap under a table on Saturday evening. The girls went ballistic - am not sure if it was sympathy for the mouse or furious for having a guest. Jim and I dealt with the mousetrap and then decided to take the girls to bed with us, but they just couldn't settle down - especially Abby. Jim finally got up about 4:30 and I eventually got them settled down and dozed until about 9:30 - when Jim rousted me as he was going to get some shut-eye.
We left here a little after 12:30 to head to Bucklin. One of my Jobson cousins, Bobby, was having a surprise 60th birthday party - put on by his wife and children. I have been away from that community for so long that I really need help with names. One lady there had been probably my best friend in elementary school. Another lady there had been super good to my folks, and the list just continues. I am one of eleven Jobson cousins of my generation with two deceased now - leaving nine. Of these nine, eight of us were there - what a nice feeling. The next generation was also well represented - as well as the next generation.
I have the computer work for Mobile Meals in the morning and beyond that I have accumulated a goodly list of errands - most won't take long, just need to get the list whittled down again.
Be safe.
