Lunch with Friends.....

Yesterday, I had lunch with my friends...

Joyce, Susie and Vicki.  

We chose to eat at the Clubhouse, which was a smart idea. 

This was our monthly lunch outing and since our 55th High School Class Reunion is coming up on the 22nd, we had much to discuss.  

This makes the 11th Reunion we have all planned together.  Hey, we are pro's at this now days.... 

Sadly, a few of our classmates said they were not going to be able to make it due to health issues.

Anyways...(I have to tell y'all...the word Anyways most likely will not ever be invited to a fancy grammar party, but it keeps showing up in MY vocabulary). 😂

Anyways....

Our meal was so good.   As you can see from the picture above, I had a Patty melt with a side of sweet potato fries. 

The other's had quesadilla's and Susie had a chicken sandwich with avocado dressing.  

Sooooo Good!! 🩷

Oh....y'all are gonna love this!!  We met at 11:00 A.M. and we finished up around 3:00 P.M.  You might say we enjoyed a LONG lunch date.  Many times we found ourselves discussing far off topics like where we plan to travel to next. Many places came up on our list:

A cruise

Ireland

Branson, Mo.

Alaska

The Blue Ridge Mountains

Kentucky to see the "Ark"

Train ride across the country

And....A River Cruise

It's fun to make plans even if they never happen or if trips have to be delayed.  Are hearts are traveling diva's but our pocket books are like...still recovering from our last great idea..   By the way, did you know you can wander around google maps for FREE. 

Other conversations consisted of what to wear to the reunion, or how to cover up wrinkles!  LOL.  And yes, we discussed our ailments.  

It was a GREAT day...

One of my favorite things about the day was coming home to a very clean house.  My house cleaner came and my house smelled so clean and looked so good.  

Did I mention that it was a GREAT DAY?

Love and appreciate each of you...

Shug...

Fun Day!!

 If you're happy and you know it say AMEN...

August Calendars

 Hmmm.  what do I have to add for a post today?

Last evening, Sam and I compared our calendars. Remember when calendars were filled with vacations, dinner dates, ballgames and fun weekend plans?

Well, apparently we have entered a new season of life.

Our calendars are full alright, but mostly with doctors' appointments.  😂

   

"Not our REAL Calendar Schedule"

In just a matter of weeks, Sam will be making the grand medical tour:  the eye doctor, the eye specialist in Dallas, the endocrinologist, the lung doctor and his oncologist. 

At this point, I'm beginning to wonder if there's some sort of punch card we should be carrying.  You know.....like visit five specialists and get the sixth appointment FREE!!

As for me....I'll be getting a machine for sleep apnea and the grand finale is ME having the dreaded colonoscopy.   Hope you all will not be to Jealous that I get to do this!!...."The Colonoscopy"

Is this what aging folks do? Compare calendars and say things like:

"Can't do Tuesday. I've got the cardiologist."

"How about Thursday?"

"Nope...Bloodwork."

"Friday?"

"Perfect! We are completely free between 10:30 and Noon."

But you know what?  There is actually something pretty wonderful hidden underneath our calendar full of appointments.  

We are still here to fill it!!

We are still comparing schedules, still taking care of each other....STILL LAUGHING...still making plans.  

Hopefully, our next appointment will involve a waiter, a menu, and a dessert.  

God is Good!!

Shug......

Alaska or Bust:

 Alaska or Bust… Apparently We’re Still in Texas! 😂

I may have found one of the most entertaining gifts I’ve ever given Sam—and the best part is, he’s the entertainment!

Sam absolutely loves Alaska. He loves traveling there, talks about going back, and every so often starts talking like we should just pack everything up and move north. Meanwhile, we are still firmly planted in Texas. So naturally, his book needed the title “Alaska or Bust: Still in Texas.” I couldn’t have written a more accurate title if I tried.

This personalized book was created through a fun website where I answered what felt like a small interrogation about Sam—I wrote about his personality, his habits, his adventures, the funny things he does, and all those little details that make him Sam. Then I placed the order and waited about five weeks for his life story—slightly embellished for entertainment purposes—to arrive in book form.

And let me tell you, he has laughed and laughed! Every few pages I hear another chuckle because the stories hit a little too close to home. Apparently, reading about your own shenanigans is much funnier than having your wife point them out in real life. 😂

The book is completely centered around Sam, which makes it such a fun keepsake. Seeing his name on the cover, his personality worked into the story, and familiar pieces of his life turned into humor made it even better than I expected.

I’m already thinking this would make a great Christmas gift for that person who is impossible to shop for—especially the one who already has everything. Give them a book about themselves!  They can officially prove that they are a "Character." 😂

If anyone is interested in the website I used, feel free to email me and I’ll be happy to share it.

As for Sam, he may not be living in Alaska yet…but at least he’s made it there in print.

And judging by how much he’s laughed at this book, I’d say this gift was a success.
