Sept. 3-8
From a gorgeous fall day in MO,
We have had a busy week. Jim had his last physical therapy on Tuesday and we detoured by Francine's first to pick up 3 dozen cookies - yum. He joined the men for breakfast (both groups) on Wednesday and then we headed to Liberty on Thursday for his check-up with Dr. George - quite positive - recommended continuing to practice his pt activities at home and use common sense - am guessing that Dr. George realizes that at times Jim pushes a little too far.
While we were in Liberty we went to Sam's, Kohl's, and ate at O'Charley's.
In between all of this, somehow I managed to pull weeds in the perimeter area of the backyard as well as the so-called flower bed in front - ending up with two very large debris bags for pick-up on Thursday (our garbage day.) I do admit that things look much better, but there will be one or two more bags before getting caught up.
We headed to St. Joseph about 2:30 on Friday to do a couple of errands and then joined John and Sandy for supper at Cracker Barrel. We then headed to the football game at Benton (Chillicothe won - not an easy feat at Benton) and we finally made it home at 11:00 - way too late for this old gal. It was a fun game to watch (at least if you were from Chillicothe) and we took special enjoyment in watching the duel of two good pole vaulters - our Clint and Benton's Tyson. Both had seen a lot of time against each other during pole vault season and they saw each other frequently during the game. (Tammy - please tell Clint how proud Jim was of him.)
Dustin Murray is here again today removing more rough edges from our old deck. He has been here twice before for short occasions and will be here most of the day today - may almost have the whole deck sanded by then. We goofed a couple of years ago and with the wrong idea that if a little sealer is good, then why not apply a very thick coat - resulting in a lot of blistering or bubbling. The deck is old, but is still very sound so we are hoping that getting our error off and with a good coat of new sealer, it will last a few more years. Dustin is another of Jim's pole vaulters - graduated this spring - and Jim had started him as an eighth grader as my old memory calculates.
This coming week should be a lot lighter for us - or at least I am hoping so. I have a brief RSVP meeting on Thursday and beyond that we have nothing definitely scheduled except for meeting with "old" friends for breakfast and dessert. The game on Friday will be at Lafayette and I am assuming we will go if the weather cooperates.
Be safe.
