My friend has left my house and I am so sad! I miss her already as she is likely boarding her plane right this minute. Her fun continues though as she meets her hubby in Las Vegas tonight and tomorrow will celebrate their wedding anniversary. They have plans to visit the Grand Canyon, Death Valley, and possibly the Hoover Dam if time and ambition allows. Through her conversations with Tommy these past couple of days, it seems Linda had far more fun here with me than he did playing cards in LV. OF COURSE she had more fun than he did regardless of how he did at the tables!

We had lunch at Olive Garden and enjoyed social time at The Club Wednesday; Bible study and lunch with Justin on Thursday and then our feast for supper; Friday was Wal-Mart, Hang Ups, Koko's, Target, and the Symphony, with Justin; Saturday was the Pampered Chef party, Steinmart, and then church at Victory with Justin, followed by supper at 5 Guys; and today, Bible study, worship, lunch el fresco at Aron's with Kathy B. and later, Judy J., and then late afternoon, the airport. Full fun days, with our down time taken up with talking and movie watching. Since she got here we watched "Freedom Writers", "Grey Gardens", "My Life in Ruins", and "The Women". We do "down time" very well!!

I am yet waiting to see the moon rise on the river although it may be too cloudy tonight. It got quite windy later this afternoon and grey clouds moved in, which I guess may be hints of Hurricane Ida coming up from the south. At least the weather stayed decent while Linda was here and we did not need either the heat or A/C, keeping the sliding doors open for ventilation. I just love my fuzzy slippers!

For some reason or another I am weary tonight, all the emotion and drama of saying farewell to my friend, I guess. My supper tonight will consist of leftovers from the feast including mashed potatoes and gravy with some cranberries on the side. Mmmm! Some of Janet's wonderful apple crisp from Thursday will make the best dessert. I can barely close my freezer as Janet brought 2 containers of ice cream to go with the pie, plus the 2 I had gotten when shopping on Tuesday. Oh my! Where is Joanne when I need her?? I miss her too!
