Mom's Blog 3.9.08

If it's Sunday, it's blog day---

Hi!

What a week I'm having!!

Sunday I went to church--

Monday Lorn & Kitty Schneeberger came to visit. We had a really nice visit, as usual. We had pie and coffee at 2 p.m. and then went to our local restaurant here in the park, for a sandwich in the late afternoon. If your ears were ringing, then we were probably talking about you!!! Not to worry, there would be nothing bad to say.

Tuesday, Gary & Aline Kranz and Larry & Sara Walters came by and took me for buffalo wings at The Vine.

Wednesday I attended Lenten services at church and that evening I enjoyed the Choraliers singing concert in the park. Thursday The Good Time Singers entertained us with their music. All was good.

Friday morning I picked up Scott & Ami Ketcher at the airport and we've been having a good time ever since. For those of you who don't know, Scott is Bonnie's son and Ami is his better half! They are truly suited to each other. We tried to go to the Cubs spring training game in the afternoon, but it was "sold out" and we couldn't even find a parking place within 5 miles of the stadium. We thought we could at least have gotten a closer look at the stadium but no such luck. That evening we just sat around the house cause they had jet lag so went to bed early.

Saturday I got up early and went around the park with Norine to check out all the yard sales. Bought a couple of pictures for my bedroom and a purple T shirt to wear when I help serve the Tuesday night dinner show next week. The "Red Hat Ladies" are serving and I'm not one of them but was asked to help serve anyway. Wow! Aren't you glad I shared this information with you!!! It's SO important! Scott & Ami spent ALL afternoon at the pool and both got a lot of sun-Ami more than Scott.

Saturday evening we went to The Outback restaurant. We waited an hour to be seated but the wait was okay. When we got to our table, sitting right next to us were Denny & Renae Stock. Denny is my nephew. I hadn't seen them down here all winter so we had a good visit. After dinner, I left them and went home and they got together with a friend of both of theirs--this guy worked with them when they worked at "Billys" He now lives down here so they had arranged to see him.

Today is Sunday--Ami & Scott cooked breakfast for me and we enjoyed it sitting out on the deck in 80 degree temperature!! Eat your hearts out! This afternoon they are at the pool and I'm writing this.

For those of you who remember the days at the lake---I had a call this morning that Archie Bennett passed away Friday evening. Sharon called me to let me know.

Tomorrow, I take them to the airport, but not until 1:30, so they will have time for one more outing at the pool.
They have really taken care of my lonesomeness for a little while anyway and I've enjoyed every minute of their visit.

Love, LaVerne.
