Friday is always my day to run errands, but now that gasoline is so expensive ($3.40/gal.), I find I run the whole week's errands in one day. Too bad I don't have a motorcycle!!! I am not the only one that feels we are being taken at the pumps. I can stay home and not drive, but I am having too much fun going whenever and wherever I want to. My girlfriends and I take turns driving to events and that helps.
I haven't caught up on my lost sleep from my Tunica trip. There were storms all around us last night, I am told, and I slept so soundly that I did not hear the thunderstorm and hailstorm. That is a first for me and several neighbors have told me what a loud and fierce storm came rolling through my area around 1:00 AM this morning. I am glad I slept through it, but I have told my son, Keith, to call me the next time we have such bad weather during the night. There was no damage from the hail, but several of my geranium plants were toppled.
My son, his fiancee, and I just returned from our Friday night eating out. Tonight we all chose Ann's Chicken Fried Steak Restaurant on NW 39th Street. The three of us chose the chicken fried steak dinners and we agreed it was delicious and so satisfying. I wonder where we will choose next Friday. They realize I have no companion to share these outings with and they include me whenever possible. The restaurant allows guests to write their names and comments on the brick wall and directly behind our table, my neighbors, Ralph and Mildred, had written their comments. Keith wrote our names and comment near their names.
The TV storm coverage kept me from watching my favorite TV show, Grey's Anatomy. Many shows were preemptied and could be watched in the wee hours of the morning, but then the storm coverage preemptied those shows. I have the movie "27 Dresses" to watch tonight. I feel like I have been wearing 27 "hats" since my husband died. I can never get caught up on everything. I do the best I can but sometimes the best isn't good enough. My son and his fiancee are always near and ready to assist me anytime I need them, and that is comforting to know.
This has been a busy, but enjoyable day with the highlight of the day being with Keith and Kelly.
HEY EVERYONE, COME ALONG WITH ME!

I have eaten at Ann's Chicken Fry restaurant on Route 66 in Oklahoma City also! Isn't it wonderful? How ironic, that my latest adventures will be taking me along Route 66. I was glad to see that you had read my blog! We certainly do have a lot in common. I'm hoping that maybe we can meet someday. I hope that I am not being too forward so forgive me if this offends you. I certainly don't want to scare you off, so if I am being too permissive please accept my apologies. It's just that it seems that we share so many of the same interests and I think that we could have a lot of fun together and I'd sure LUV a fun friend like you!
Yours truly,
Jim
