Our grass is coming along! Ted bought a bottom piece for our downspout to better direct rainfall. And the grass is doing somewhat better. So maybe our sod and bull rock bill will be less if the grass continues to fill in while we wait the 4-5 weeks. My shade garden perennials are due so Ted and I will plant them as they will be bare root and can’t wait for the yard people.
I don’t recall the end of last week but after church on Saturday we drove north to Cheddar’s for dinner. There was a 30 minute wait so we returned to our car to wait for a text saying our table was ready. After about 15 minutes Ted looked up and saw Gerre and Barry walking into the restaurant. We hollered and told them to add themselves to our reservation and change it to 4. We waited another 15 minutes and were seated. What a serendipity evening! They are busy with their grandson’s ball games and two upcoming weddings so we haven’t seen them except when we all went to see Footloose. It made for such an unexpected, fun evening.
Sunday we were due at a restaurant to play cards, have dinner and celebrate Terry’s birthday. I didn’t get down in the third game and it kept me from winning. Without that, I only had 19 points which would have won.
Tuesday we were back in the same restaurant with a regular group that has started up again. People are loosening up and venturing out once again. Most everyone has had both shots. Our second one is Monday. I didn’t win at my table but Ted did at his.
Nothing much happened the rest of the week. We went to church on Saturday night but came home to eat. We were going to Perry’s Sunday to celebrate Terry’s 78th birthday and our 56th anniversary. John and Irene joined us. Everyone ordered a different side for two to go with my onion soup and filet - whipped potatoes, grilled asparagus, sweet sarachi Brussel sprouts, corn and creamed spinach. There were two “trio” desserts for the anniversary and birthday celebration so everyone could have one but some declined but they all got eaten.
We went back to Terry and Carol’s to play cards and I came in second!
Monday was our second shot and it went off without a hitch. My arm was much sorer this time the next day but that was my only side effect. Tuesday we met Tommy and Susan for lunch at Saltgrass. They are getting closer on having their whole house redone. They went down to the studs, raised the ceilings, got new HVAC plus a generator, all new appliances, etc. In all it will be about 6 months of living in their motorhome. I can’t wait to see it. We got caught up in a traffic jamon the way home. The sign board said major accident, freeway closed. We were stop and go for an hour and then we started moving and then saw nothing! No wrecked cars, no wreckers, no cops, no nothing! Weird.
Wednesday was our neighborhood birthday luncheon. Except for the four that met for Christmas, it has been a year since we got together. We started out with 10 planned attendees and ended up with 7 as other things came up. I learned one neighbor is moving to Virginia. Our 20 year old neighborhood is turning over to younger people.
Our plants arrived and we planted them. They said it will take 6-8 weeks to sprout. They were bare roots with just nubs so hopefully they will take root and get established for this year and bloom even better next year.
I worked a shift at the thrift store Thursday for the first time since before Christmas. It was good to get out and see some co-workers.
Tomorrow will be cleaning and laundry. This week has flown by!
