Matt came a bit before 8 and we went to Tihitian for breakfast. Great conversation -- getting to know Matt and was again amazed at the network that flows through Plant High School. It is really the core of S.Tampa -- the kids keep up with each other and applaud each other's activities.
Got back home with the resolve to knock some of the items off the list. Went a long way on preparing for Couples Club -- including some research to find some games to play, and confirm the changes needed to seat everyone for the meal and then the meeting afterwards. Still not sure whether to stay at the tables or move to the great room (rearranged) for later.
Confirmed that Christian, Jamie and Allie will be coming over Sunday so we can get any furniture moving done, and tidying up the outside. Not sure what the menu will be yet -- choices may be limited because it will be Sunday. I do know that tomorrow will be busy with to-do's that we will need on Sunday.
Got the Manual for the Safe Driver course finished. Lee, Renee, Jarrod, Josh and his friend Trey came by and I had a great time just being with them -- they were between the CCC and home, and dropped by just to visit. Josh was properly shod, so he wanted to climb the grapefruit tree. Jarrod wanted a job in the back yard so he could ride the scooter chair back there. Josh climbed very high, got a grapefruit for me while Jarrod picked about a dozen with the picking tool. Josh's friend tried climbing the tree -- did OK, but could not scamper confidently as Josh did. He seemed to be very pleased to be included in all the activities that Jarrod and Josh like to do when they are here. Jarrod also got the ladder and took the filters down (in the great room) so I could clean them. Jarrod and I also had opportunity to check on our To-Do list for next Wednesday and Thursday. I am so looking forward to his being with me on Wednesday and Thursday next week!
After they left, I finished the Manual. After remembering what I had for lunch (tuna salad with noodles) I decided to fix a good supper. Had a pork steak with rice and green beans. All the talking about the menu for next week (with Jarrod) made me hungry. It was a good meal -- still have to put up left-overs in the fridge.
This morning I had an unexplained bloody nose. Got it taken care of -- can't figure out where it came from. Oh well, something to talk to Dr. W about next week. One of the To-do's was getting the thank you written to Karen S. She dropped off one letter to me with a very touching Father's Day card. Her letter was really a overview of her love and respect for Margaret. I was honored that she shared it with me. She also updated me on the inquiry about possible positions for Roxy -- that firm is cutting back like the others. With Karen's letter, I was able to tear up, experience the pride and sadness that came from reading the letter again, and then get back to the ToDo list.
In all, it was a very satisfying day. Got a lot done, great interaction with real people, and can see accomplishing the Couples Club hosting next week which is going to be filled with new (to me) things.
