Dave and I had a fun weekend that was a bit productive. I watched Elsy on Friday. We made a card table tent with blankets and watched the movie "Anastasia" in the tent. Really fun!
It was Dave's year to attend JCCC's graduation which was Friday night of that weekend. Dave is pictured here after the ceremony with Sara Duncan and her mom and dad, Mike and Pam Duncan. Their family went to First Pres with us before they moved away 18 or 20 years ago. Dave was Sara's counselor at JCCC.
We asked Norma and Ladell if they were free to hang out on Saturday. They said YES then invited us to Liberty for dinner. They had been so busy...moving Cory out of his rental house back to their house on Friday, then moving Abby from one rental to the next on Saturday. And they still had energy to fix a wonderful grilled pork chop meal with twice baked potatoes, salad and brownies with a game of Tripoly afterwards. They are fun people! Cory and Erica were there too. Bonus!
Sunday we planned to go to the Celebration at Union Station with Julie, Anthony & Elsy but the rain changed our plans. We ended up taking Mr. Goodcents to Puryears and Abby and Josh joined us. Afterwards Elsy entertained us. Here she is feeding Josh the spaghetti she made him.
So the productive part of the weekend was getting flowers planted in flower boxes and two Knock-Out rose bushes planted in the front yard. We also moved some furniture around. The dresser from our back bedroom to the front bedroom then the book case from front to back. Also bought a storage cubical for the back bedroom. That will help us keep our toys organized. :-)
Dave has been training for BAK. He has a new helmet and new bike gloves. He is ready. He leaves for western Kansas a week from Friday, June 5. Dana, Shirley and Chelsea have organized a taco salad dinner for Dave's bunch of friends on Saturday night when they are in Lakin, KS. That's where Chelsea and Michael live.
Monday afternoon on Memorial Day we went to see the movie "Where Hope Grows". Lois and Chuck went with us. It's a Christian, faith-based movie and was very good. We enjoyed it. Later that afternoon we watched Elsy. Brad and Kathryn joined us for dinner at Chili's. Elsy got to enjoy Uncle Brad reading her after-dinner-books. I think Kathryn enjoyed it as much as Elsy! :-)
Oh, one more thing. Dave got new glasses! Would you have noticed? Brad did. Norma did.
Tomorrow, Thursday, May 28, Dave and I will have been married for 38 years! We also are leaving for a trip to Chicago with our friends the Blachlys and Elders. We're staying in Springfield, IL to visit Abe Lincoln on Thursday night. We'll continue to Chicago on Friday. We have tickets for the KC Royals vs. Cubs game on Saturday night at Wrigley Field. We'll be home late on Sunday eve.
Good newsy post, Mom! I didn't know any of this beforehand. Fun! You guys DID have a busy weekend! Fun people to share it with! Dana
