We enjoyed a wonderfully busy week last week! Sheila and I went to see a movie Tuesday afternoon that was based on a true story from our area. We enjoyed the story and being familiar with the places mentioned. As I usually do with “true stories”, I later googled about the accuracy of the film and learned more about some of the characters. It was quite interesting! After the movie, we went out for sushi. One of the things that I love about spending time with Sheila, is that I get to eat more “adventuresome” foods than when I’m with Dennis. Plus I just enjoy spending time with my girl!
While we were doing our thing, Nam and Grandad went to
service his deer feeder at Thiess and Gina’s and enjoyed a visit with them. Nam
loved his time with Pappy and Rue and ended up with a new treasure that Grandad
found (a deer jaw). Then Nam spent a couple of nights with us. We didn’t do
anything special…just our usual, which is the way Nam likes it. He loves
traditions!
We took Nam home on Thursday after lunch, visited a little
with Matt and Sheila, then headed to Paris. We arrived in time to meet up with
Stephen’s family for supper. Then we went back to our hotel room to rest up
from a tiring few days. We spent all day Friday visiting with them. The
grandkids kept us busy! I loved seeing Mandy’s new kitchen. It turned out SO
pretty…and functional! She is really going to enjoy it.
We spent another night in the hotel, so we could rest up
before getting back on the road. We made it home a little after lunch on
Saturday. Since we had a potluck planned at our house the next day, I spent the
rest of the day cooking and cleaning. We had a great turnout for our gathering
after church…even Coez and Willie Dee made it! We ladies enjoyed all of their
stories. They have seen and done a lot during their 90+ years each. I really
admire both of them! I think everyone really enjoyed our time together.
We are planning our family’s “Thanksgiving” gathering for
the middle of October, since Archer is due on Thanksgiving Day or thereabouts.
The HC congregation will also be having their baby shower the day after our
get-together. That will save Ricky and Amber from having to make another trip
down. The kids talked me into doing Mexican food again. Since it will be so
early, turkey and dressing just didn’t seem that appropriate. I am looking
forward to a traditional Thanksgiving, ON THANKSGIVING DAY, sometime in the not-too-distant
future!
I sure hate seeing the number of people with COVID going up
again! We had just gotten to the point where we really didn’t think about it
much at all, since we were vaccinated and the numbers had been so low. Now we
have a number of loved ones who are sick. I still have 4 grandkids that are too
young to be vaccinated, so we have to be mindful of doing anything that might
put them at risk. We would be helping Ricky and Amber, right now, with their
move; but they, and Chris who came to help, all have the virus. I’m not worried
about Dennis and I getting sick, but it is possible for us to get it and pass
it on to the littles. We are having Stephen’s three spend a couple of nights
with us soon, and we don’t want to take any chances. I really hate this virus!
Please keep everyone who is currently struggling with it in your prayers…especially
the other Linda G.
Take care, be safe and be kind!
