Thurs.-Sun. May 10-13

From a sunny MO,

We have had several full days. I joined the ladies for breakfast on Thursday a.m. I had a good night of sleep and thought the world was great, but by the time 10:00 a.m. rolled around, I was exhausted and headed for bed. Jim rousted me about noon and we went to the Steakhouse to split a sandwich and each have a side salad - then back to bed for me until almost 4:30.

One of us tried to be around the house on Friday as we were to get a call about an upcoming appointment for Jim to an orthopedic person in KC, but never received the call. Jim called about 4:30 and the nurse had not been able to take time for the call. I joined Helen and Mary W. for dessert at 3:00.

We left here about 7:00 on Saturday a.m. as we had decided to drive to Perkins at Liberty for a good breakfast and then sort of back-track to Excelsior Springs for the district track meet. We usually no longer stay to the end of the meet as we are usually tired after the pole vault - girls and boys. Two vaulters qualified for sectional - Dustin M. and Samantha F. We were back in Chillicothe about 6:00. We immediately headed to the showers at the sun had been in full force all day and the only things that probably saved us were taking in lots of water and the fact that usually there was a slight breeze.

Jim had noticed that the "Beer Garden" at the Wabash BBQ place was having an opening that evening so about 8:00 we headed there. The main female singer sounded a lot like Janis Joplin and overall it was a good outing. We stayed about an hour and then returned home as I was ready for bed and the smoking was also getting to me. There was quite a large area set up outside to enjoy BBQ sandwiches or slabs - along with your drink of choice. I think they are planning this for upcoming weeks as well.

We walked with the girls this a.m. and both are worn out - as well as us. Jim has mowed the yard and I have mainly puttered inside.

We are heading to Pomme on Monday (Jim early and I will leave after doing the computer work for Mobile Meals) and do not know yet whether we will be able to take the more direct route of highway 65 as it was still closed between Carrollton and Waverly on Saturday evening. Otherwise we will add about 50 miles to our trip as we will need to take highway 13 south from Hamilton and then do some heading back to the east when we get to highway 54. We will return on Friday as we want to go to the sectional track meet this coming Saturday.

Until I am back on.

Be safe.
B.
