Errand Day

Yes, this is the day we load ourselves into the car and traipse around town to do our errands: To the bank to make Kedg's weekly deposit, to JoAnn's for notions, to shop for groceries, to peruse second hand shops, to stop at Long's to take advantage of some of their specials, to the nursery just to look see. Bobby gets so excited because HE gets to ride "shot-gun" with the car window down and his ears flapping in the breeze. Before we go I must make some bread. It is such a simple exercise, and I really love the results. Today I think it will be raisin-walnut.

Today we'll be having a cook-out at the Cabana as a farewell party for John Wendt, our handy, dandy, do everything man who has been with us here at Peppertree for as long as we have been here (20 years +). I'm told this is his third farewell, for each time we have been able to coax him back. He knows how to fix everything.

This afternoon we plan to go to KLB's piano recital. She's doing so much better with a new teacher who just happens to be more strict.

Maria and Nellie came yesterday morning and now my house sparkles plenty. This is such a relief for Kedg. Her business seems to be growing by leaps and bounds since she has moved her shop, so when she gets home at night, she is really tired.

We are already working on Kedg's birthday celebration. This is a special year and we're planning DV to send her to Hawaii where she was born. Three of her friends are looking forward to going with her.
