Feb. 14 & 15

From a sunny, but cold MO,

The two days have been full.

Jim joined both breakfast groups on Wednesday, then we walked at the Y, and then I headed to the doctor's office for a yearly exam - and to weigh in. Now why did I schedule this for two days after returning from Los Angeles! We did a few errands afterwards and then headed to the new "steakhouse" for a Valentine's meal. Thankfully we were there early and had no line.

I joined the ladies for breakfast this a.m. - ended up probably having ten in attendance. The conversations were many and varied so it was an active a.m. I had a hair cut at 10:00 and then we headed to the Y to walk. I did one or two laps with Jan Logan and towards the end (about a dozen or so laps later) did two or three with RoseLee Davis. I had a library board meeting at 1:30.

Tom had e-mailed that the new Sports Illustrated magazine had Kevin Durant on the front so we headed to WalMart - struck out - went to Piggly Wiggly (a grocery store) - struck out - and found the magazine at HyVee. Kevin Durant is one of the four starting freshmen on the Texas basketball team.

I stuck a pork tenderloin roast in the oven (on low heat) early this a.m. and it was done before I headed to the board meeting. Supper will be easy as we will have the pork, baked potatoes, and finish off some veggies from a couple of days ago.

We have no big plans for Saturday. At this time it appears that Texas won't be on one of the channels that we can get - maybe that will change tomorrow.

Two items of news this a.m. was that Chuck Haney has been in the hospital, but what I heard this afternoon was that his multiple exams turned out well and other than a very bad chest cold (not quite pneumonia) he was probably coming home today. James Beemer is another story. I am not quite sure what he fell off (maybe a step ladder), but more or less shattered the bones in his right arm. After a trip to our local emergency room, a drive to Liberty - several hours of waiting there - mostly sitting as all ER beds were full - it was discovered that the Liberty hospital is not on their medical plan - ended up returning to Chillicothe with a pain medication which turned out to be a very low dosage of medication so had a rough night - return to NKC hospital for about three hours of surgery - and is now home and chomping on the bit as he is not used to being lazy. Marcia was at the beauty shop this a.m. when I arrived and looked tired and exasperated.

A few of you might remember Irene Cooper as she taught in our elementary system for many years. Last night's CT carried an obituary for her.

Be safe.
B.
