It's been a good week! Somewhat quiet on the home front. Mother and Daddy came down last Sunday to have pot roast and stayed a while to just visit. While there I gave them some info that Vicki had printed on the Lubbock Senior Citizens' centers. They serve lunch 5 days a week for $3.00 and have various senior activities. Well, Mother and Daddy went to one for lunch on Monday. Said they enjoyed it and met some nice "old" people. That's a start....and I pray that they will go again and get acquainted and make some friends. Thanks, Vicki.
The weather is warming up and seems almost like Spring. Daddy is getting anxious to plant some flowers and get grass going. (Their yard is barren because he raked it all up!) But I have warned him that he should wait because it is not unusual to have another snow, even as late as Easter. Believe me, I have learned the hard way.
Yesterday, they came and watched Phoenix play Upward basketball. The 5-6 year old are fun to watch. Some of them actually dribble the ball before they walk right up to the basket and throw!! I think Mother and Daddy enjoyed it, because they asked when the next game was. We still have plenty of games left for them to watch....and then the never-ending baseball season starts.
Afterward we went to Jason's Deli for lunch. I suggested they get a stuffed baked potato. That was the biggest potato I have ever seen, and, was full of chicken, cheese, sour cream and all the fixins. Daddy said they've never gotten a stuffed potato before. They took home to-go boxes for supper. Wow, it's a whole new world out there for them.
I think this afternoon we are going to try our luck at Bingo Express. They boys are wanting to go, and if they want to, we'll take Mother and Daddy with us. Maybe one of us will win, but if not it's fun to play.
PS: They haven't unloaded any boxes yet, because Mother still says they are going back to Dallas. Also, Daddy confessed to Mother that he is paying rent on this house.....$200/month! She's convinced they are going to go broke.
Wishin we had some rain to dance in................................!!!!!!
