Monday was Busy

I came home last night too tired to prepare a blog to post this morning. It was a busy day.

My son and I met for breakfast and went to my favorite place here to eat where I ordered my favorite meal and saved half of it to be enjoyed a second time this morning. From there, he went in to work and I took off for some shopping.

Let me just give you some background here. When my son first began driving, he never felt like he knew where he was going. The downside of that was he had to call to ask directions everywhere he went. Many times, he simply took my daughter with him because she usually knew how to get there. Yesterday, I had to verify with him every place I started to go that I was headed in the right direction. My, how things have turned around.

When I got tired of shopping (and that doesn't take me long), he told me he was back at home working there, so I went to his house. We unloaded the last of his belongings that I'd brought up with me and I sat and knitted while he worked. After awhile, I decided I wanted a Diet Coke, so I headed down to the convenience store. As I was leaving the parking lot, I got a voice mail from him (no call, just the voice mail - dumb phone) telling me he'd been called in to work, but he had my camera and knitting bag with him, so I could meet him at work. Sure enough, in a moment, we met on the road. I turned around and followed him.

We hung out there for awhile, then the opportunity to see a preview show for a new show starting next year came up, and we jumped on the chance to see it. Branson is in for a treat with this new show. I believe it starts March 16, 2009. More about it later.

As we were driving to Olive Garden for supper, we found ourselves following a friend of his. His initial attempts to get her attention (blowing his horn) failed and we resorted to wildly waving our hands at her and she finally saw us and turned around with a look of shock on her face at the two people acting like fools in the car behind her. Then she realized who it was and called and he invited her to join us for supper. We had a great time and laughed a lot and I got to hear more about the people he spends time with and some of their activities. It was a lot of fun.

From there we raced to The Duttons. We ended up having plenty of time, but you never know. Got good seats and we enjoyed the show. He'd seen it before, but it was my first time. Lots of talent though my loyalties to my favorite group haven't changed. I will see The Haygoods tonight.

To have been through such bad weather on Saturday and Sunday, you wouldn't know it today. It is beautiful with a cloudless sky and cool temperatures. Just perfect.

My daughter has her state board written exam tomorrow. Please pray for her to remain calm and confident as she prepares for it and takes it tomorrow afternoon.
