August 1st, Friday Focus...

 


Good golly, July went by so fast!!  Happy August, everyone!

This week has been one of catching up for me.  I'm sure you can relate to getting home from vacation and trying to get everything done and get life back to normal - whatever your normal is.  I'm finally there, and I enjoyed dinner out with my Mas Verde Dinner Group friends last night.  We went to the new Mexican restaurant.  I usually get a taco salad, but got a burrito instead.  It wasn't as good as the taco salad, so I won't make that mistake next time!  There were our usual seven people.  They all wanted to hear about my time up north and got me caught up on local news.  It was an enjoyable evening, and Larry and Sharon picked me up, so I didn't have to drive.

I really don't have much to write about.  It was good to get my photos posted this week, and thanks to those who muddled through my blogs about the wonderful time I had visiting Mari and Bob, and Elaine and Jim.  I loved every minute I was there.  

I took neighbor/friend Susan out to lunch yesterday, to thank her for getting my mail, feeding the cats for four of the days I was gone, and for keeping an eye on the house.  We enjoyed lunch at the Metro Diner.  I will take Mary Jane out next week and need to get that scheduled with her.

I'm happy to not have anything on my calendar until Sunday.  I'm a greeter on the first Sunday of each month, and next Tuesday, when I get my hair trimmed.  Perhaps I'll get a few projects done around the house!!  No excuses!

Peace and Hugs!

  6. Vacations are great but I always find it so hard to get back to normal afterwards. It sounds like a lovely evening with your friends and how kind to take Susan out for lunch to say thank you for looking after things while you were away. Have a great weekend.
