A blessed Memorial Day

Today was marvelous in so many ways. This morning my plans were changed from the original because Lori adjusted her plans to arriving today instead of later in the week.  I was planning to spend the afternoon at Linda's and having dinner with Tommy and her.  Linda said she was like Gumby---flexible so instead she swung by and picked me up after 8:00 to start our day together. I hustled to get myself presentable and did so in less than 10 minutes. It can be done!!

We hit Festival running and even "ran" into some people we knew from church shopping for picnic foods. The parade was cancelled this morning due to bad weather predicted so people were making alternate plans. Just like I did!  Linda's daughter and family are coming tomorrow to celebrate the twins birthday so we picked up some items for that party. I got some more caramel puff corn and some Diet Coke. Oh, and a package of peanut squares.  Yum!

When we got back to her house she helped me get hooked up to her laptop so I could work on the church newsletter. What a blessing!!  While she got her stuff together for tomorrow's party, I worked and talked!  I'm good that way, as is she. I can't wait to try her recipe for making twice baked potatoes for Justin and me when I get back home. Those potatoes will be part of their celebration feast for Madison and Cassidy. 

Linda and I had a great afternoon watching the documentary "Honor Flight", fitting for Memorial Day. We cried almost all the way through it.  It was a perfect "Kim and Linda" day!  We enjoyed cheese and sausage crackers for our afternoon repast, with a peanut square for dessert. Good treats!  Linda took me back to Mom's to wait for Lori to get there. 

Lori and Dustin arrived about 4:30 and plans were made to have dinner at The Charcoal Grill.  We had to wait for Jill to get home from work as the ice cream parlor was quite busy.  It turned out to be a lovely day anyway so business was brisk. Mom even got talked into joining Lynn, Jill, Danny, Dustin, Lori and me for dinner. Our meals were great and the time together special, in my opinion.  Now it's time for bed!  Good night all!
