This morning we were back in class, just like the government school kids in Duval County! Justin's and my Goddaughter, Sarah, started 3rd grade and I am blown away by this knowledge. She is so tall already! But the class I am talking about is Bible study. Our topic is "Fellowship" and has little to do with baked goods. It is a good study and something I consider necessary. I appreciate having my study topic suggestions being accepted. That is twice already this year! We had a nice group but still have room for several more.
From Bible study six of us went to lunch at Longhorn, where we froze half to pieces. Most of us had our jackets or sweaters along, and I feel for those who did not. There is just no good way to do this, since the staff is running about madly and working up a sweat, and we diners are shivering from the cold!
From lunch I headed for home where I got some stuff boxed up to share with Jayne from church. Justin had gone through some more clothes and there are some items her boys can probably make use of. Jayne visits the resale and thrift shops in the area so I know she is not opposed to castoffs. Some of his stuff was never even worn--either wrong size or not his favorite type of shirt.
This project done, I worked on my computer for a little while before it was time for The Five to come on. In the meanwhile, I had my scheduled phone visit with my friend, Judy, in Knoxville. So good to hear her voice once more! After we finished our conversation, I gave my mom a call, having to catch up since the weekend. And then, nap time!
The ladies from church were gathering for a social outing at The Pasta Market. Judy and I had just eaten there last week but I have been known to frequent places two days in a row, so no problem! Justin asked to use my car to run some errands so he dropped me off at the restaurant. Twila (Grandma Nichols) gave me a ride home.
Terri took this photo using her cell phone as I left mine at home. I had it ready to go but grabbed it to photograph a lovely rainbow, then forgot about it. Though a bit grainy, you can pick out me, Betty, Jean, and Judy fairly clearly. Carol was next to me the other way, and Laurie across from us. I had reserved for the 16 ladies who signed up, but then three more came who had not. They were able to sit in booths alongside us, so sort of together yet not a tight squeeze. The waitress did a good job serving us all.
Half of my meal came home, as expected, plus I ate my bowl of pasta fagioli soup with a piece of garlic bread dunked in it. Yum! Laurie, Carol, and I each had a nice glass of sangria with our dinners, and they shared a caprese appetizer. Such great food, great friends, and great times!
Justin successfully got his room in order after his errands, and Linda's room is all set up for her arrival. All that I need to do yet is stock up the fridge suitable for guests, and do a little dusting. So 'cited for my friend to come!
