I got up and did some music exercise and devo. At 8 I played PB then I drove us to Black Friday where I got 3 trays to prevent bottles from falling out of the refrigerator door. Per Nancy's request. I made a run to Walmart mart with Gail and Jean. Sadly I didn't get the list from Denny. Funny end busy ptorasmmng the Dede Christmas present. Pictures from Gary and Kim:
After PB at Sun and Sun I planted 550 lisianthus seed. Uffda. I have a small grow light to shift between the 3 trays of potential plants. Bransons texted us and invited us for supper of BBQ ribs. So yummy and so good to catchup with them.
Up and breakfast in motel. We were leaving about 7, but Denny remembered the yeti he left behind. So back we went, leaving about7:30. with a 6 1/2 hour drive ahead of us. What a trooper Denny is!!! King of the road!!! Lots of Troopers out on the roads inTexas.
We left about 7. Beautiful sunrise and then an hour of fog. We just stoped for gas the second time on our trip. Oklahoma, 85 degrees. Thank you, Jesus for safe travels. We stopped about 7, filled with gas, stayed the night at Hillsboro and ate at Lone Star Cafe. Beautiful sunset in Texas.
The families left between 8-10.... :( We started the clean up. It take a while for 6 queens size sheet sets to get washed and remade. Some food went with family, When Jessica came for plant watering instructions more food ent with them.. Ice cream, cheese, sour cream, Whipping cream, almond bark cookies. And still at 5 we were wondering what to do with extra food. We got pretty much everything done so we can leave after showers, turning off water heater, Rv fluid in pea traps. In bed 7-8pm. lots work done slowly.
