No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

Accumulating Junque

Justin was off work today due to Veteran's Day. His boss, William, took the time to spend with his wife, a teacher, because she had a long weekend. Took advantage to enjoy some time away. Nice! Justin had the day at home, at least the first few hours before Jesse and he did battle at the Mall, going to see a movie. Wow! When I went passed the parking lot, cars were already parked on the grass, since all the official parking spots were taken. School is out and the movie "Thor" just opened. I think Justin and Jesse got their tickets on-line to make sure they get some for the matinee price.                                                                               
While he was getting ready for the movies, I was at Bible study where we had a good turnout. We had a great study and interaction today, much to ponder in this portion as regards our attitude toward the poor, etc. and fellowship. Might have created more questions than answers this time...

We had only 5 in our lunch group today and the ladies were wondering where to go. The one lady who thought the waitress there 'picked on her' suggested Long Horn, and I was all about it! The waitress could not have been more accomodating and attentive. I am not sure everyone was thrilled with the restaurant choice but it was wise to go here when we did due to the high traffic from Veteran's Day and the discounts offered them.

I sent Justin a text message, asking him to stop for soda on the way home. Sadly, none of the area stores had a really good deal on Diet Cokes, once again the CVS was sold out of product. How can that be? Instead he went to Winn Dixie and got the Pepsi products which were sort of on special to hold us over. My tendancy is to drink them too quickly because they go down so well. He made dinner for us using some smoked pork from the freezer, cooking it up with some spatzel. Just delicious!
Ed is already busy at church, sorting and pricing

Justin and I are gradually getting plastic bins packed up for the yard sale at Victory. I started rather slowly but have picked up some momentum of disposing of things. I should rephrase that---recycling items I no longer have use of. Justin and I haven't done this (or, I should say, I have not) since the Great Flood. That time, it worked out perfectly to have Christ Lutheran having a yard sale. Michael C. three times took stuff from our house to the yard sale for us. This time it's less emotional a purging than the previous one!
