Yesterday, Wednesday…..was a day that didn’t see much action on the part of this old man. The heat/humidity was beyond belief, so I spent the day working inside with 1.5 arms…..sucking up the dirt on the floors/carpets, applying a cleaner on the hardware floors which goes on easily with a swifter-type mop, brush scrubbing the necessary room, etc., etc. None of this had really been effectively done since we left in May on our travels, so IT WAS TIME.
The 1st Lady spent several hours at school preparing for next week’s opening……and no matter how long she stays at school, there is always MORE to be done. But, it is the peace of mind affect that comes with trying to be prepared for the kids……for her LAST YEAR.
Our great friends, the always entertaining Hanners, returned from one of their many trips to take care of the many people who have been through disasters with home damages. Sooo, we threw a small little dinner to celebrate the returns of the Hanners and the Howsers. We kicked off the evening with champagne and little munchies and congratulatory toasts to our safe return(s), which brought on many good tidbits of conversation about our travels. The 1st Lady had prepared an Italian dish for dinner, which was preceded by one of her excellent salads of spinach, candied walnuts, other small veggies, and a balsamic vinegerette dressing. This was accompanied by red and white wines, depending on everyone’s preferences………plus, I needed my dark red medicine by that time.
Ahhhh, but the conversation flowed in many directions…..from their escapades in California, Texas, and their latest journey to Georgia….to our two journeys which kept us out and about for 9 weeks…..to our families and our plans for the upcoming weeks. Much discussion revolved around my broken arm and the challenges I have had with using only my left hand for various needs which must be taken care of no matter what the disability . A great way to enjoy a meal!!!
A quick trip was made outside to the rolling HowserHouse as the Hanners are giving some thought to purchasing an RV for themselves, so they took another tour of our home-on-wheels.
The evening ended with two hours of playing the latest craze…..the Mexican Train Game. This is great fun and does take a bit of forethought and planning to play as partners….or even individually. Midnight came and went…..and we finally called it an evening.
I will post some pics of dinner and our great game. Please notice the box of tissues on the table that Lady Hanner required for the evening…….I won’t discuss this necessity.
