It was my kind of day!

The morning began with Bible study at Victory. We had a couple fewer folks this week, after having had 15 last time. It was a very chilly FL morning yet one of the guys was on his way to Daytona to golf. Yikes! That is a die-hard golfer! It was just not a nice day for being outdoors, in my opinion.

I was so glad that someone brought doughnuts because I was especially hungry this a.m. but I knew I was going to have a nice lunch so went easy on the treats. Rita was absent due to have a teacher's conference. She was missed. More discussion took place comparing Isaiah's times to our own present day happenings, so fascinating and yet frightening. We're supposed to learn from history, but we do not, it seems.

Anyway, I had to leave right away after class, once we sang "Happy Birthday" to pastor and a couple others. I had plans for lunch, meeting one of my friends/neighbor for the mini-buffet. Bob had told me he was treating me before I left for Christmas and we settled on the date of the delicious fried chicken. I was happy with it, but Bob was less pleased with having to stand in line. The Business Women's group was ahead of us (timing is everything!) and then when we got up there, things were picked over pretty well. 

Of course, the dishes were refilled but Bob was not pleased. Hopefully I influenced him to not be too upset about it, and asked the woman who runs the dining room to please get Bob some green beans. And she did!  The chicken was good and I liked the potatoes and gravy too.

He kept apologizing for being impatient and I explained I have a degree in patience. Bob, who is soon to be 70, a gruff, old Navy guy, informed me that I have had a positive influence on him, and several others. Through our entire meal not once did he use language that would cause me to grimace or correct. This is huge for Bob! Just like with my other neighbor, Randy...not around Miss Kim you don't!

My friends, Jacquie and Mark, were seated in the same area as us but we did not sit together. Nancy W. introduced me to her guest, a lady she'd known since 5th grade. It was a great lunch crowd! I told him the story of having lunch with my friend, Christine, a while back at Pengree's and she said we were having lunch in Bradford County the next time, where no one would know me! Lots of people greeted us there, as you'd expect at a Club like this. 

Justin and I ate at The Club last night, from the mini-buffet, before Trivia started. Hugh picked up Justin's portion of the tab for me, which is so very generous. They (Hugh and Maureen) have taken quite a liking to him! Justin has an appointment with Penny, one of our Club members and a friend made at the pool several years ago, to help her with her computer stuff. First Hugh needed help, and now Penny. Hugh wrote a very nice recommendation about Justin's services and sent it to all the people in our building. Maureen told Penny about Justin and now the word is spreading!

So, anyway, Justin got home after a long, hard day of working and we were braced to have leftover chili from Tuesday night for dinner. Just as The Five ended, the phone rang. It was Judy C., wondering if we were interested in going to dinner. Absolutely! We went to Outback, as she had a coupon to use. I had the most delicious steak with wild rice and we all shared the bloomin' onion. Hadn't been there for dinner in ages, and it was sure was good! 

Outback has downsized some of their menu choices, making several items more reasonably priced. Mine entree was one of those and it was fantastic! I was so glad that Judy called and that I had a nice full day. Folks are so wonderful about keeping the time full this week....
