Oct. 17-Nov. 1
From a foggy evening in MO,
We have been somewhat active these past several days. I don't know if I mentioned that we joined a weight loss class at our county health center, but we are slowly getting some tonnage off. The first meeting was Oct. 8 and Jim has either 8 or 9 pounds off and I am at the 5 pound stage. That is only a small amount of what needs to go off, but at least we are eating better - and we are walking!
Our high school football team continues to win and with a win this past Thursday - are district champions. We will be in our first play-off game this Wednesday. It is a home game so that is good for our gas consumption. The team continues to be a delight to watch and the stands are packed like they were for so many years.
We joined long time friends for a carry in at Sandy and Bernard's the middle part of October. There was a good variety of food. The MU football game was on, but that was a disastrous defeat and it didn't take long and no one was watching the game.
I volunteered one morning for a four hour shift at the library when the Friends had a used book sale. It is interesting watching the people go through and check was is available. Several of our Thursday breakfast group have also volunteered.
We had a big day today - walked first at the Y - did some errands in town - and then left about 11:00 to go to KC to see "The Lion King" at the Music Hall. I knew it would be a good production, but I was unprepared for the marvelous clothing, set, music, etc. Half of the audience must have been small children and I was first worried about their not being caught up in the performance, but they were super. About the time that the action slowed and they became restless, another scene came that caught their attention.
We have a full next three weeks - Jim will see Dr. G on Monday at Liberty about progress on his severed tendon, on Wednesday sees Dr. K about some follow up issues (not related to cancer), and next Monday there is an appointment with his foot doctor. In the meatime I have a meeting on Thursday and Friday to attend along with the usual preparing of the Mobile Meals envelopes on Friday. On Friday evening we are going to the UMC for their annual chili and soup supper - along with marvelous desserts.
The following week sees cousins of Jim's on his father's side coming into this area for the graveside service for an Aunt. The lady died about a month ago and will be buried at Resthaven at Trenton. We will also have a second play-off game on Monday if the team wins the first play-off game.
The week after that we will be getting things organized for our trip to Austin. We plan on leaving Friday, Nov. 21. We couldn't get in to our usual digs at Norman because of a home football game so we will stay at Ardmore. The following day we will have a short trip on in to Austin.
Be safe.
