Thurs., Fri., & Sat. May 24-26
From what has been a warmish, humid MO,
Thursday morning saw maybe eleven "ladies" gathering for breakfast. We had so many that I couldn't keep up with all the conversations. We had two join us that are still working - Jean S. and Mary D. - but the others are all retired. Mary W. was absent as we found out later that her brother had died the day before. I am not sure where Ellen W. was.
Friday saw us walking in the a.m. and then Jim and I headed out to decorate at Marceline and New Cambria. I neglected to put flowers at one grave as I couldn't remember for sure - g,g grandparents on my paternal mother's side. Someone had already decorated graves for our family at NC - or at least some of them. Between NC and Marceline - the two brothers and one sister of my paternal grandfather are buried. I think I have mentioned that seven generations of the Jobson family are buried at New Cambria.
We left Chillicothe by 6:30 this a.m. to head to Jefferson City for the state track meet. Our female vaulter made the starting height this afternoon and then faltered at 9 feet - had cleared 10 feet one week ago. This is quite a venue at JC and I thought she showed a lot of poise clearing the starting height for a freshman.
I will soon be heading to bed. Jim is watching a John Wayne movie - am thinking it is called "The Quiet Man."
Oh, we listened to an excellent book today (well at least about 2/3 of it) - KITE RUNNER. I really wasn't in the mood to listen to a book, but was soon very much caught up in it. Julie A. had mentioned this book on Thursday a.m. and I said something to Jim. He had already read the book, but checked it out to listen to it again.
We are beginning to get a little thunder so I am going to sign off.
We are going to Trenton on Sunday to the Fulkerson reunion. Several of the older generation have died since we were last in attendance.
Be safe.
