Judy and I just got back home after our fun morning and early afternoon on the Southside. We started first with breakfast at Panera Bread, meeting Justin there. After our lovely bakery items, we drove over to Victory Lutheran for Bible study, another most interesting study of Heroes of the Bible. Judy was easily accepted and accepting, even taking a turn right off the bat with the reading of Scriptures. It was quite easy to see/hear the teacher and/or grandmother in her delivery, adding the proper inflection and flavor to the story of Gideon.

Judy got the royal treatment afterward as she compared notes with Pastor Hoyer with who knew whom from MN, his home state, and who went to school with whom, and so on. She was given the full tour of the facility including his standard organ recital, which comes from a CD played over the sound system. Awesome!

Justin had already left for school so Judy and I then headed to the beach to enjoy our lunch at Joe's Crab Shack. She loved it as much as I knew she would! We dined el fresco as it was lovely and warm on the deck, temps nearing 80 degrees, which was comfortable as long as the sun was out from behind the clouds. As is expected, I just had to call Linda to find out what the poor people were doing today while we dined at Joe's! Judy and I had a nice adult beverage before our meals, hers actually a sea food feast! I had a hamburger, or, at least, half of it, and Judy made a dent in her salad, leaving room for a slice of key lime pie! She just had to have some key lime pie before leaving.........

....which makes me so sad to say, since I can't stand the thought of her leaving me! Friday, tomorrow, will our final time together, culminating with the scrap booking session which is taking place here in the evening. Afterwards, Chrissie, Judy's niece, will be hosting Judy at her house in Mandarin, taking her to the airport on Saturday a.m. for her return to MN. I think Jerry is going to love having his friend back home again, even though he's been keeping himself occupied with his animal trapping hobby. Judy's been bestowing random gifts upon me during her stay, including the most lovely file folders and post it notes (for my much-lacking filing skills!) and today, a perfect necklace that reminds of the aurora borealis when the light hits it.

But, I won't be long feeling sad about Judy's departure tomorrow because in only a couple hours, we are off to see "Seinfeld" at the Moran Theater!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Kim,
Just wanted to "pop in" and say farewell to Judy! It's been a pleasure visiting with her at church on Sunday, and again last night at choir practice, although I don't know that I was ever really able to have a real conversation with her!
Thank you to both of you for keeping Hanna and Daniel occupied while we practiced "Jerusalem the Golden" last night. Daniel seemed to enjoy her ball of yarn! :)
Have a good evening, and enjoy Seinfeld! I hope he's all you want him to be!

Thanks, Suzanne! I passed along your good, kind words to Judy who really did enjoy your kidlings! Being a retired Christian Day school teacher really helps plus the fact that she has numerous grandkids to entertain!
I know I'll have a great time tonight, thanks, and brace myself in case it gets ugly!
See you Sunday,
Kim
Now the poor people are dealing with rain again. Guess I should look at the bright side and be glad it is not snow yet. When it is gray and gloomy it is hard sometimes to see a bright side. Kind of a pun there I guess. So have a good night and love you!
Hi Jill!
Sorry to hear about the crappy weather! Judy has been hearing about the weather in MN and is not looking forward to returning to gloomy skies. But she is looking forward to seeing her Jer Bear again!
That is a bright side, too!
Hugs,
Kim
