Old Friends - Today we went to Pinedale in time to have some lunch. Debbie thought of going to Lakeside Lodge and so we did that. We were going to sit outside on the deck but just as we got there it started to sprinkle, so stayed inside. It was so nice and the food was superb. We even shared a crepes filled with amaretto ice cream and strawberries flambe, whipped cream and toasted almonds. Yum. Good to see a few friends there. The view was peaceful and lovely while we ate. We're thinking of renting a boat to cruise the lake and fish when Curtis comes up. That would be fun.
Other errands were took the Nordic Trak back to Bonnie (she wasn't home so we left it by the back door - the dog would have let us take anything if we'd wanted to), did the recycling, cancelled the old cell phone plan at Union Cellular, got whitening gel for my tooth trays at the dentist office, shopped for groceries again, took my laptop to Mike at the phone company to work on in his spare time - it doesen't let me register the Office program - says the registration numbers are wrong!!. So I have no software that will work in it - i.e. can't write anything. Walked the dogs twice. The first time there was thunder and Sparky just wanted right back in the car so we had to do it again later. There was a nice rain shower and they had puddles in the street - probably rained there good last night. We had only a sprinkle here.
We went to the clinic twice to get the pump taken off but they were having three people in the emergency room and the ones who know how to work my port were busy there, so I have to go back at 8:15 in the morning. And I can't shower until I get it off. Then we went out to Ruth's at the frame shop to pick up the two pastels I'd left there to be framed before my trip. They will go out into the art show, in fact I think Debbie took them right out and hung them up. I haven't had a chance to really look at them yet.
In between there somewhere we stopped at the Museum of the Mountain Man and asked to see my book collection on the new shelves. They had nice oak shelves made to put them on. Took a few pictures and will put them on the blog when I get time to work on the photos. They are still sorting and inventorying them. It was like visiting old friends. Remember Debbie helped Laurie pack them all up last November.
Debbie drove me all around today. The ride in and back was beautiful, and there are so many of the pink shooting stars in the fields now - whole sections of fields are brilliant lavender pink.
We took frozen pizza home for dinner so that was easy with a salad. Then Sheral and Dick came over about 7:00 and we had a nice visit. They have been here at their ranch while I've been gone and are going home to Layton for about a week tomorrow, so it was a good chance to get to see them.
Tomorrow is an all day Mixed Media painting meeting at Jo's in Bondurant. Then at 5 p.m. we all will go to another meeting in Pinedale to give our input again for the new Fine Arts and Community Center which is really taking off now. Maybe I will get to see it finished - that would be wonderful. So looking forward to a good day tomorrow.
See a friend's new blog. She has some absolutely beautiful wildlife photos, and is also a very talented artist. Duene is blogging nearly every day too. Check it out, you will enjoy it. I've put the link over on my sidebar, so you can go there anytime to connect.
