Scones, Santas, Louis Dean, Brahmas #90, Bauer kitty, Stars Win and Remembering Charlie Kirk.....

Wednesday was a 'Me' day and I loved getting out and having some time to myself.

Amber had planned to go with me to the local Veterans Affairs office to see about possible benefits for Louis Dean. He was in the US Army for 2 years, 9 months and 2 days.

He likes to tell me the story how he and Ellen had just married and he was called up.

Then when he got out after two years, he was called back again during the Cuban Missle Crisis.

He reported to Fort Chaffee, Arkansas. He has lots of good stories about his Army days.

Anyway, I had just told Amber on a text that I was low on emotional energy and would reschedule, when lo, and behold, the Veteran's Office called me!

It was a good conversation and he gave me information on how to obtain Louis Dean's DD214 and what to do and where to go in person - so that's on the agenda for this week.

So I took the afternoon off and had a manicure and pedicure all by myself!

LD said he didn't need one yet but that he would go with me since he loves to visit with everyone.

I nipped that in the bud and said I needed some time off duty and all to myself!!

Still, everyone asked about my husband and why he didn't come.

He's a popular guy!

Thursday is now art class day and Shirley arrived with the most delicious walnut and cranberry scones!

YUM!!! Shirley is a first class cook and baker.

I made a garden salad with chunks of fried chicken.

And cantaloupe!

I'm painting four and worked on three during the week saving the fourth for Thursday.

She has so much talent you can't tell her very first oil painting from mine!

Louis Dean is so cute!

I went in to check on him while he was napping and snapped this picture.

I remember when my children were young and I would go in to see them before I went to bed and they looked like angels - no matter what a handfull they might have been during the day.

Same thing.

Saturday was a hockey game for Harrison and we got there early enough to see him before the game.

It was an exciting game and both teams played hard.

It was 1-1 and then we scored makine it 2-1.

At the very last second of the third period, Harrsion scored a perfect goal!

Win! WIN!!

We lingered long after the game and visited for a while before deciding to go to the Bells and meet their new kitten.

I love the signs in their yard!

This is Harrison's #90

I should have take a pic of the girl's band sign.

Meet Bauer!!

Such a handsome little man cat!

Granddad had a good time playing with him!

Then he said, "We need to get a kitty!!"

It was a good Saturday and we enjoyed our time with the Bells.

We came home and had a good rest of the afternoon.

The Dallas Stars preseason games started and we were watching!!

Who knew it would be such an exciting opener??

Tied game that went into overtime and ended with a shoot out!

While we were thrilled to watch this at home....

All the Bells saw it in person!

I watched Fellowship Church service on line this morning and then tuned in to the Memorial service for Charlie Kirk.

I’m excited about so many people accepting Christ as their Savior….. what a privilege to see revival surging forward in my day and time.
