Friday and a Three Dollar Meal

I slept fairly well last night. When I sleep on one side, my ear gets sore and wakes me up. Then I have to turn over.

I have made my bed, dressed and had my breakfast already. It is almost 7:00AM now. 

I got a flyer in the e-mail from the tour company, Gone For Awhile Tours  and the next tour is planned for Kansas City and The Arabia Steamboat Museum, a meal at Buca di Beppo Italian restaurant near the Plaza and a tour of the lights on the Plaza, Crown Center and Union Station. That means a late night tour and I am not sure I am up to that at this point. The cost is $115.00 but that's not the problem. When I was still attending John Whitmer Historical Association meetings at our church headquarters in Independence Missouri, (Community of Christ)  I took that tour of the Museum. Our church historian was one of the owners of it so we had a personal tour of it. That's been ten or fifteen years ago. But I have seen it. If Phyllis or Karan go, I may go again. It's not until December 9th. I will check with them and then let Sherry know if I am interested. By then Phyllis' hip may be fully healed. She broke it in September. And Karan's daughter lives in Kansas City so she may be familiar with all that too. Come to think of it, Phyllis's daughter lives in Overland Park so she may have done that too.

Well that's today's news anyhow.

I am going over to Coffeyville today for the dinner Asbury Village does for seniors every third Friday at 11:30AM. They charge $3.00 for it and then donate the money to the senior center. I will pick up a "to go" meal for Marilyn Rutledge too. She is shut in with a terrible back problem. I have been taking her my leftover treats from the game days. This time I will take her the Asbury Village meal.

I need to go check the weather and the cats. 

Both cats came for breakfast and luckily I had put both bowls out there just in case.

  

This is the plant Nancy bought for me after more buds opened. It looks like a different plant, doesn't it?

More later..

I read my book until 10:00AM and then took off for Coffeyville and the first place I went was the Woodshed where I filled up with gas. Then I went out to Walmart for a couple of things I can't get at our market. Then by that time it was time to go to the senior center for the $3.00 lunch Asbury Village makes for us the third Friday of each month. They then donate the money to the senior center. This Friday it was chili, cheese, crackers, iced tea and a cinnamon roll. I bought one to go for Marilyn. One to go is $4.00 but she's worth it. I dropped by Marilyn's and took her her food. She wanted to pay me for her lunch but I insisted I didn't want repayment. She is a little better. They gave her a steroid shot on Thursday and that helped one part of her back. She even managed to attend a board meeting at the senior center for the first time this year.

I stopped by the post office and bought stamps. I also washed my car, dried it and vacuumed it out again. It didn't rain yet today. I stopped by our Sonic when I got back home and bought a small mocha, crunch blizzard. That made me very full. I won't eat again today.

Then I started reading my latest book again. It's 4:37PM now and soon I will go watch the CBS evening news. It starts at 5:30PM.

More later...

Both cats came for supper and I fed them both. 

I watched the CBS news and then read until 7:00PM when I took my bath.

I went to bed at my usual 9:00PM
