DAY 103: FRIDAY, JANUARY 24, 2020: A FULL DAY TO LOOK FORWARD TO

At 4:30 I was upland at sister Jane’s by 5 am. Jane, JUDY, Jane V. Did our FRIDAY morning 5 mile walk around Warren, but First to Dunkin Donuts for our walking coffee. It was cold, 33 degrees and  no Windsor the Walk felt great. This walk is one thing I miss when I am not here. The first sip, of course, was the best. FRENCH Vanilla— the heat helped keep my hands warm. But, then I had to take my gloves off. Iowa’s actually too warm. And, that never happens. 

Jane bought us all these great hats  so we could be seen in the dark. Jane V bought us yellow reflective vests road workers wear so we can be seen in the dark. We have been doing this walk on Fridays for more years than I can count. 4 girls with vests, hats with lights and more can now be seen totally in the dark.

    LIGHT OFF


             LIGHT ON

When I got home  and cleaned up, I began working on  the centerpieces for mom‘s upcoming 90th birthday party. I sent sample photos to my sisters to make sure they were a go. They are so my next plan was to gondola Newport to pick up more shells to finish them. 

I am having a hard time showing those samples.

GERI Sent photos of the places the TLC Girls will be going next week. Going to Bella  Isle, a new resort in Marathon, will be interesting.

In Newport, it was my lucky day. I found great craft things to make, but I can’t write them down. They will be made into gifts. I managed to go to Brick Market and get a few more. Best thing, I parked right near bb and had 3 hours of free parking. That was a first. I didn’t need 3 hours, though.

I stopped at Dr Alano‘s office when I received a call from Linda. Little Patrick will be with her today. I can Go to visit and meet this little guy. So exciting!! Adorable!

YEAH, THE PHOTO SHOWED UP: THIS LITTLE GUY IS SO BEAUTIFUL 

Tonight this is not allowing me to get emails where all my photos are. Ugh. So frustrating. All pictures may have to hold off until tomorrow. I hate that. 

I stopped my mom and dads then went to the post office to mail myself a  box to Florida. I said I bought a lot of craft stuff I can’t get there, right?

I next went to visit the little man . What a joy. Sorry, photos won’t download to the I pad. 

I brought my parents out to dinner. The first place was close until next week. This sounds like another case of driving around in circles looking for a bakery. We ended up at Lauren’s. It was good. They enjoyed it.

I heard from Tom, Joan and GERI who Are at La Niña for dinner then on to the theater. Cheryl is in the Play: 4 Old Broads. What fun!

Em and Todd Sent photos of Leo at school during show and tell. He is so serious showing his firetruck. He is a truck expert. He probably explained every part, what it’s used for, how it was made, how it works with other trucks, what firemen do..... get the idea. When he was here, Uncle Tony took him to the fire station and let him touch everything and sit in the drivers seat, etc. LEO loves trucks. I bet the teacher had to stop him to give someone else a chance. Ha! He is quite knowledgeable!

 

DEFINITELY UP TO THE TASK

Another busy day ended with me meeting Judy and MICHAEL at Hometown to listen to music for a bit. The place was booming. Great to see but I left after talking to Rose about plans for moms party. 

Tomorrow, Muriel‘s Basketball Game. Im so glad im here to see it!
