Tuesday was a very good day for me, and I hope for my friends. My friend, Jacquie, wanted to meet for lunch and then we'd go to the pool. Sounds perfect to me! Except---I chose not to attend the morning exercise class. Caused a bit of a stir with my absence, even though I had sent a text message to Nancy to let her know I would not be there. People were puzzled because the sun was out, no clouds, it was hot---where is Kim??? According to Marlena, the class was nice and all that, but awfully quiet and no laughing...Justin wondered, later, if anyone ran down to the other end of the pool area to see if my car was there. Some thought Linda had arrived and that was why I was absent. They all know she is coming!

Let me back up at bit: Jacquie and I met at Pengree's at 11:45 which would have been a bit tight schedule-wise for me. Class would get out about 11:00 or so, time to dry off before going upstairs and then changing from wet clothes to dry ones, and get to the restaurant...Yes, I was just lazy! Since we were going back to the pool in the afternoon, why bother, right?
We enjoyed our lunch together and then did go over to the pool. Jacquie changed clothes in the cabana bathroom and I went upstairs with my leftovers, to change my clothes. I would guess by 12:30 were in the pool and I stayed out there until 3:30 pm! Jacquie got to meet Nancy, who had come back to swim some laps after having been in the morning class. She was NOT too lazy to get dressed twice for the pool!
Before I left for my lunch date, my friend, Judy C., called me to make plans for dinner. Originally we planned to meet at 7:00 pm at Pasta Market but later she called to say her son had gotten home earlier than expected from work, and we could dine earlier. That's good, for her, because she has to get up so early to get to their house in the morning.
We had not had much time together without it being busy so our dinner time was nicely relaxed. Judy is going up to Charleston for the weekend so I won't see her again until next Monday.The proprietor at Pasta Market treats Judy like family, except he doesn't make her work! Our Ladies' Group is going there for dinner on the 19th, so we made all those arrangements right away. I had the fetticini Alfredo, and brought half of it home with me. Lots of white foam boxes in my fridge again!
